I can't find Linda Orlando (she originally posted this as a course on Suite101). The link with her name comes up broken, 404. I think I talked to her once, when she was starting the topic there. At the time I was in flux with Suite101, either leaving or thinking of returning. In the end I left it behind. I might have talked to Linda more if I had stayed. But... that's how it goes. I don't have permission to post this, but it was a freely given erotica writing course on the site. I'd like to see the content kept available.

All my original content written for Suite101 has disappeared into some mysterious abyss and I never made a cent for any of it. Not getting paid bothers me less than the fact that everything I wrote is gone. I seem to be silly about keeping a copy of what I write. I don't start keeping copies until it's all about to disappear, if I get the early warning. That doesn't always happen. Beware ye writers!

I don't know when the formatting was lost. …more
