Well, I like your smut and the energy that comes with it.<BR/><BR/>I don't know whether erotica is a euphemism but it does have a whiff of disinfectant about it.<BR/><BR/>I didn't mean that erotica shouldn't have " a good satisfying fuck" in it. I meant that, if it doesn't, it can still be erotic wereas porn won't survive the subtraction of the fuck from the formulaMike Kimerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18002309169478171450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13098257.post-56458693730564468782008-04-10T12:07:00.000+02:002008-04-10T12:07:00.000+02:00i find much erotica disappointing because the sizzle fizzles. i have always enjoyed yours though. this story was one i remember liking a great deal. in the old porn vs erotica debate, i still believe that one person's porn is another person's erotica and like Susie Bright i feel that the label porn is just a value judgement. i don't really like the word erotica to describe my own writing, but prefer to call my writing smut. erotica seems like a euphemism to me. it's too polite. i want rough, over the top, taboo, embarrassment, intensity. i certainly do like writers who are able to tease with their writing as well, and i write my fair share of those...but for the most part i prefer sex stories that have a good satisfying fuck somewhere, even if the characters are thwarted, get there and then have more obstacles etc, but somewhere in there, i want a climax or the writer has to be skilled enough, like you, Mike,to get me so close that i will finish the job ;)Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09059621442042833693noreply@blogger.com
