In the interest of promoting our club do you guys have some ideas about what we can do as incentive? We needs more people to attend the meetings.

Would you guys like to see some contests or other writing competitions? Do you have any ideas about how we could go about doing this?

I can also make a forum and ask the community at large but that is up to you guys

We are certainly free to choose different topics! New beginnings/Starting over is a good combined topic. it also leaves us with three topics including the open one

We have a tie vote for the critical topic...I like the idea of New Beginnings as this is a new feature. So I'll go with that one (sorry Sam! )
What do you think Kady or Cedar?

I really wish i had some ideas. I was actually a liitle disappointed in the number of votes in the polls, and people didn't evan have to identify themselves!

I don't know how more incentive would help. I mean you already get $10 for every story.

Maybe a contest, but then people are afraid to submit because they don't want to see themselves at the bottom.

When I was trying to stir interest in Eden Cooks, I made a poll asking the community what they wanted to see--and I think just the fact of having the poll itself generated a lot of awareness.

At least, that's a lot of interest per time invested, so it's definitely worth doing. Other things are probably worth exploring too.

I am game to try it...just be sure you check in and give some feedback guys cause the more excitement we can generate the more interest we''ll drum up.

OH and speaking of interest how about a Eden Cooks/Eden Lit cross over of some sort?

Yeah. Polls in the general area...try to get some viral interest. I think the "lit" tag might scare a few people, but it is more descriptive than calling it erotica. For you guys anyway. /laughs

Like sexy food stories that play into whatever you guys are 'cooking' up over there!

Ok so New beginnings/Starting over as our critical focus topic and Choices being the off topic. Open topic as usual.
I'll write a great little blog about the changes we are making on the Eden Blog and also as a forum topic.
All of you are welcome to post topics and ask questions, start polls, whatever you think will generate interest in the Eden Lit forum. It's your club too!

I'm down for sure---I think the second post I ever put on the Eden Cooks blog (before I was the leader) was pretty darn literary... would we do like stories about cooking? My meeting is next week, I can definitely bring somethign up.

Personally I LOVE cooking stories especially when the cooking in the kitchen leads to smokin in the bedroom

Too much resemblance to CBT for me. I do like quacamole, but watching a woman really relish crushing it by hand makes me squirm...

LOL but it would make a lovely BDSM story....little sub cringing while his big badass Mistress crushes avacado while explaining the etymology of the word. Then spreading trhe lucious stuff over her body for him to lick clean!

i'm intolerant of avocados...

used to love and eat them alot, it's an allergy that evolves over time. the allergy of latex is associated with it. like avocado allergy, latex is an allergy that builds up with exposure. many folks who have the avocado allergy have latex too.


as it turns out... i'm now allergic to latex!

Hehe---November's I knew a month in advance, but I didn't decide on December's until today.

How about pomegranates? Those are some of my favorite sexy fruits... I could do honey or almonds or figs as well... not surprisingly, February's totally open

Oh my gosh! I would be heartbroken if I were ever to become allergic to avocados. I will have to not become a nurse.

Sounds like you are ready to go. I do like the idea, but don't know that I could write it.
