Ten stories of BDSM, submission, and service set in the secret
world of Laura Antoniou's Marketplace. The Marketplace has fans all
over the world, and Antoniou invited them to come play in her
fictional sandbox/dungeon. Numbered among those fans happen to be
some of the top erotica and alternative sexuality writers in the
world, including D.L. King, Sassafras Lowrey, and Elizabeth
Schechter. The full slate of writers contributing to NO SAFEWORDS
runs the gamut of award-winning authors to bright-eyed new voices,
as creator Laura Antoniou explains in her introduction: "As the
saying goes, 'blessed are those who embellish the tale.' So here is
the Marketplace, as seen through other eyes. There are some stories
that show the world exactly as I created it, and some that push my
boundaries a tad. There is romance and strife, glee and despair.
There is hot sex, of course, but there's also humor and melodrama.
Just the way I like it. "There were some surprises for me I was
delighted to find several female dominant/male submissive stories,
especially since my examples of those relationships tend to be
supporting, rather than main characters. I was also pleased by the
writers who weren't afraid to go a little dark; a collection of
stories all about slaves misbehaving in mildly inconvenient ways
and getting fantastically, erotically punished would have been
tiresome. "So whether you want a rollicking Victorian flavored tale
of adventure and romance or a modern, sexy welcome to a new home
for a familiar character, you will find flavors here to tempt or
satisfy your tastes. Return for more time travel to a world where
the language we so casually use to describe our tastes doesn't even
exist, but where longing for a ritualized order and discipline and
a sense of belonging transcends words, and gets expressed in the
rich metaphor-and reality-of a garden. "Then swerve away from
romance to feel the terror of a slave newly sold to an owner who
represents their worst nightmare, whether because of demographics
or the enormous challenge of a language barrier. "Here, you can get
into the reflection of a trainer's long career or the grief and
anguish of a new owner confronted with an inherited house full of
property she didn't choose. Or, watch how even the jaded,
experienced ways of the Marketplace aware people become awkward in
that most awkward of adult challenges-a marriage proposal. Get a
glimpse into the rarefied and formal household of an owner/spotter,
and then take a detour to the desolate history of a young
genderqueer punk fresh from the streets, confronted with the most
iconic of Marketplace characters. All of this-a synthesis of my
imagination and theirs, fed by culture, fantasy, fairy tales and
fears. All fiction is, in a way, fan fiction. I am sorry it took so
long for me to see this and to open myself to the interesting
sensations-you might call it edge-play-in giving people access to
my favorite victims. But better late than never " Full table of
