PHOTO DESCRIPTION:
A man with bionic mechanical arms sits in a dusky room holding a cigarette between his robotic fingers. A shot glass with amber liquid in his right hand. Faded scars and wounds cover his collar bone and abdomen; he stares at nothing, obviously bored with the world he lives in.
STORY LETTER:
Dear Author,
This is obviously a real tough guy – he likes his guns, booze and cigarettes. His new robo arms are pretty damn awesome, even if the story of how he lost his normal arms isn’t pretty and it took a long time to get used to the new ones. He’s a man of action, not words, and you’ll never hear him spout sappy declarations of endless love. The love of his life clearly needs to be just as tough to keep up with him.
Basically, I want a story with this tough guy and his equally tough love interest(s). Romance shouldn’t be the main focus of this story, I want a kick-ass plot with at least a bit of world building, please! Established couple or not, ménage or not and the genre is up to you. Kinky sex would be a huge plus, but only if you can work it into the plot. I’m fine with whatever ending works for the story, I don’t need a HEA. Every shade of consent is fine by me. Kink-wise I’m pretty much open to anything, even extreme stuff like med-kink and sounding.
Please NO: GFY/OFY, cross dressing/feminization/trans*, scat, watersports, diabetes-inducing fluffiness, puppy play, PWP, tentacles, torture porn, mpreg
Thank you so much,
Free_Dreamer

Dedication
To the MM Romance Group for being such awesome people and once again holding one of the biggest events on Goodreads. Thank you for your support, time and dedication to this.
To S. van Rooyen for being there in my time of need and helping make this one of the most screwed-up stories I have ever been a part of.
To Debbie Smith for helping out and pep talking me during the times I wanted to give up. I know this one freaked you out but thank you.
To K.C. Wells for helping out in a desperate time of need on very short notice and listening to me bitch about nothing.
To my sweet Alexis Woods, know you wanted to give up on me and really don’t like Vex but thank you for helping out beta reading and fixing my same mistakes.
To my editor, Ali, thank you for being you and being so incredibly amazing to work with, it’s such a joy doing the edits with you. I didn’t even need a bottle of wine to help me.
To Wulf, thank you for letting me fuck with your characters… again… still, and allowing me playtime with Winter and Nirvana and seeing my gore-infested dreams come to life. Love you, S.
Thank You
To Free_Dreamer, may you be taken away to a world far darker than ours, I hope you enjoy these charters however fucked-up they may be.
