As an ex-teacher and lecturer, and having been brought up in the 'old school' of English writing, I have a firm grasp of spelling and grammatical structures while at the same time being aware that speech in stories must conform with the character being portrayed. I have taught report writing to adult students and have proofread many reports as well as writing many articles, stories and reports myself, including nearly 50 submissions for Literotica. I am comfortable and capable with editing all types of submissions listed in my category preferences. My background is as a monogamous partner in a long-standing marriage, so most of my Literotica submissions have come from research, discussions with others and my imagination rather than from personal experience. I have an interest and strong belief in polyamory, believing it is possibly a way in which future relationships will develop especially in China with the large imbalance of males to females due to the past government one-child policy. Two of my adult children have had interesting experiences with polyamory, BDSM and surrogacy and, unlike in many families, they are very open and forthcoming in discussions of their interesting alternative lifestyles. I look forward to assisting you with your submissions.
