Here's the SF Chronicle story on Saturday's LitCrawl, and here's Frances Dinkelspiel on the event.
I will be expanding the essay I read, as it has just been accepted for Cleis' "Best Sex Writing" anthology for next year.

That's pretty impressive, Mark. You wrote the essay on Saturday (or so you said in an earlier post) and it was accepted in the Best of ... by Monday. Wow.
I had actually been ambivalent about what I was going to read Saturday -- I really didn't feel like revisiting the stories in my Cleis collections, but I didn't have much else to read that filled the "erotica" bill for the LitCrawl program.
But an email from Cleis (which published my two books of smut) on Thursday asking if I had a nonfiction piece made me realize I could kill two birds with one stone. And I was lucky enough to hit upon a topic that inspired me such that I knocked out the 1900-word essay on Saturday, sent it off to Cleis, posted it in my blog, and read it at LitCrawl a few hours later.
Then this morning I got a message back that it was accepted for the antho. So yeah, that worked out pretty good. Never underestimate the power of a deadline.
