"I read several stories in the anthology Fantasy Readers Wanted--Apply Within, edited by Nick Aires and James Richey. One of the naughtiest was "A Damsel in this Dress," by Ralan Conley, known for his remarkable web site that lists every conceivable relevant site for writers. The damsel is so feisty she seduces the dragon who abducts her, but her dress doesn't fit well, and keeps baring embarrassing portions of her anatomy. More fun. There are serious stories too; those who like fantasy stories should enjoy them."
