Men of the Manor MATURE CONTENT A project of Cleis Press (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive. About The country estate, masters and servants, mystery and intrigue, sex and money. All go hand in hand in these turn of the century tales of what goes on behind the manor’s closed doors. Does the master lure the butler to the phonograph room for a romp behind the sofa or does the stable boy have a tryst with the footman while the lord longingly watches on? Does the aristocrat drop his foppish manners when the butler helps him undress? And do the classes exchange more than pleasantries when the lamps are dimmed, the candles get snuffed out, and the ladies retire for the evening? Give me your hottest stories of romance and sex between wealthy aristocrats and hard-working estate staff, all with a pre-World War 1 backdrop, including the fashion and art and the latest inventions of the day. War is years way, the estates are huge and sprawling, the fashionably elite have too much time on their hands, while the toiling underclass are always on the lookout for a means to a brighter future—no matter whose bed they end up in during the night. Think Downton Abbey and Upstairs, Downstairs, but with enough sex to make the town vicar blush. Stories can take place in any country. The sex should be mutually consented to (so no forced encounters between masters and servants). Humor is always appreciated, as are stories with unexpected plot twists.
