R. Gay has been perversely thrilled by her own writing for many a year.
She is currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Creative Writing
and about to move to the Bay Area where she hopes she and her
partner can finally start having a life. In her free time she
enjoys indulging in her fascination with pre-packaged condiments,
first-aid kits, and anything miniature. Occasionally, she reads
a book or three. |
For more insight into all things R-related, you can find her work
in Does Your Mama Know?, Love Shook My Heart 2, Best Lesbian Erotica
2002, Shameless: An Intimate Erotica, Herotica 7, Clean Sheets,
Scarlet Letters, Best Transgender Erotica, Best Bisexual Women's
Erotica, Sweet Life and others. |

R. Gay: This Far Inside |
|
| She looks at her hands, and I glance downward. She has the most
wonderful hands of anyone I’ve ever been with. I’ve memorized
every line, every texture that her hand has to offer. When we
hold hands, I fall in love with her all over again, because as
my thumb brushes across the back of her hand and her thumb brushes
over mine and our fingers clasp together, I feel larger than whole.
I’ve never told her this, and now, there seems no point, but more
than anything I want to take her hand in mine, so I can feel good
again, so I can care about caring about us. |

R. Gay: Hands on the Heart |
 |
| I have held God's heart in my hands. Actually, it was a priest's
heart, Father Rodriguez, but as I felt it oozing and beating beneath
my hands, I was as close to God as I am ever going to get. |

All There Is |
|
| When I hear the words "partners for life," I know that I'll be
able to escape from this dress soon...When Michael leans over
to kiss me, here and now, I clasp my hand around the back of his
neck, parting my lips slightly. I know an open mouth kiss is slightly
inappropriate, but I want to remember how he tastes in this very
moment. His lips are full and soft. This kiss is supposed to be
brief, chaste even, but this is our moment. I don't want it to
end, because when it ends, so will the potential. |

12.07.06: Scarlet Letters -- in case it isn't glaringly obvious -- is currently
on an extended hiatus. The web has changed, we've changed, and
we're trying to figure out how we both fit together now, which isn't a process we want to rush.
In the meantime, by all means, enjoy our years of past content,
all of which still remain in the public and subscription areas.
If you're looking for more current SL-related content, you can
have check out upcoming books from editor Heather Corinna and previous co-editor Hanne Blank, check out Heather's current sexuality sites, or explore sites through the femmerotic network. We hope to be back with you soon, as fresh, challenging and
unexpected as ever.
