Ota Discovers Fire by Vinnie Tesla
“Ota Discovers Fire” is a cliché-busting tale of magic, kinky sex, and witty dialogue set in a vividly realized world. The story was originally published in Circlet Press’s travel-themed anthology, Like a Long Road Home, and was voted the best erotic science fiction/fantasy short story published by Circlet Press in the past five years.

The story follows Ota, a novice fire magician with no wilderness survival skills, who is traveling through the forest to reach his relatives in Ivy City. His journey is enlivened when he comes across a girl who claims to be able to turn herself into a wolf, and when she agrees to guide and protect him… for a price. As with all of Vinnie Tesla’s Circlet publications, “Ota Discovers Fire” is at once funny and sexy, a masterful display of worldbuilding, and defies standard fantasy tropes.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Circlet Press, readers were given the opportunity to vote for their favorite story from among all the stories published by Circlet from 2008 to the present. “Ota Discovers Fire”--originally published in Circlet Press’s travel-themed anthology, Like a Long Road Home--beat out hundreds of other stories to claim the title of top story. (The top 19 stories have been compiled in a print anthology, Fantastic Erotica, also recently released by Circlet Press.) “Ota Discovers Fire” is available here as a stand-alone ebook, with bonus glossary.
