If its anything like the majority of my stuff, it's because BE isn't a primary element.

So? That is something that baffles me. If your (story) example is MC..MC...BIMBO... Ass expansions...

lil' BE

Then more Bondage... WG... DG... and so on I can understand.

But right now most of the comics aka popular ones only have BE being a semi-primary transformation theme. There's a whole bunch of other stuff taking place. As long as you have plenty of vagina then its good enough for the BESC...

Content at the BESC is a sexual-buffet. If you can write a good sex scene than the last thing you want to do is judge your work as a 'Not-a-Good fit for the BESC"

Like I said in my last post, I keep getting wrapped up in the details. For example, I once thought of a Maple Tree Nymph for a character, who would lactate Maple Syrup.
Detail#1: Her name. I wikipedia'd Maple Trees and found the "Sugar Maple" or "Acer Saccharum" is best for my purposes. So I gave her the name "Maple Acer".
Detail#2: Lactating Maple Syrup? Not quite. More like Tree Sap, which has to be boiled to make syrup. The process of doing so spawned countless others. One of which:
Detail#3: Volume during lactating. 40 liters of Sap has to be boiled to make 1 liter of syrup. Something tells me I won't wake up to a hearty breakfast of pancakes with "homemade" syrup like I wish. Solution: Allergic Reaction to fertilizer that causes galactorrhea and BE? Dunno.
Detail#4: Attitude towards certain foods. Does she cringe at the thought of people eating plants, seeing that she's sort of one herself? Granted she might sympathize that not all of us are photosynthetic (lol @ being able to taste different colors of light) but would she be offended if I decided to have a salad?
Detail#5: Other plants. The best idea is to have everyone in a somewhat dry setting, perhaps Texas. That way she can have a grudge against plants that hog the water and we'd have a solution to #4. Maple Trees can survive here, right? I'm pretty sure Maple Trees prefer a more temperate Climate, though...

Trust me, the list went on and on. Granted, she's developed pretty nicely, thus far, but you get the picture of how my train of thought generally works. I'm tempted to say "lol dryad magic" to everything here but even if I tend to like stories with magic, I don't like having to use it to defy reality at every turn, just to do what I intend to have it do and nothing more. Sometimes using magic in place of explanation doesn't cut it, either. How else could I explain how she'd tolerate people eating plants? Oh, the agitation!

I liked this part. You kinda lost me after that.

tl;dr: I keep trying to explain things I shouldn't bother explaining.

(The reason no one would want to read it is it that I'm writing it in the style of a 19th century field manual of a British explorer of a continent of sexually-oriented monster-girls.)

*points to his Dryad idea*
I'm all over monstergirls. Of course I'd read it.

If you're applying for a job at Disney you don't bring an anime portfolio and if you're applying at Gainax you don't brring a western portfolio. Just simple business logic, give them what they want.

Wouldn't want anyone doing something crazy like thinking outside the box or anything. Oh no!

Yeah seriously do not discredit your work so fast. You can make anything work if you have a good grasp of how you want to do your POV. This British explorer might be stuffy, but that style will work really, really well... for example:

http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Gordon-Da.../dp/0385340362

This is the second book of the series, but by far the best Victorian style book I have read in a long time, and its been accused of being pornographic, YET anyone who is familiar with Victorian style fiction would understand.

So my point, write it, make it entertaining, and put sex in it, and people will read it.

The reviews made it seem like it was 2 sex scenes shy of a harlequin romance
