>if you're already doing it for free and you enjoy it, how is sticking a price tag on it defiling yourself?
for one, you have to do it for free? To get wide readership, if even then.
but... then you want to at least TRY to leap into, say... can I get a fricking dollar, for a 600 to 700 page smut? Like people ask for, by the way.
also, pseudonyms exist for a reason.
As I stated before, and likely will again.
I used "erotica" as an exercise, to larn to write sex acts, normal and spicy, in a traditional novel. Its almost compulsory.
Now? I can drop in the "brely any" sex in any novel, and I read and it works better now.
Erotica? Is useful to both reader nd writer.
And... if you go by "public opinion", well... no one is reading hard core BDSM smut.
But, people get 120,000 downloads on their "first book" (typically a girly girl in the author story, too)
I read one? (big doanloads numbers)
I wasn;t... impressed.
I got the term "literry prostitution" off of a writer interviewed (anonymous, lol) He;s a male, and he's a pseudonym female smut writer.
he said, it isnt enough to live on, but, it was a nice bonus. Family goes to europe for vacation off it.
his "bonus"? Well... ten times what I made last year, starving.
no welfare, just... fucking trying.
I feel like, trying it? Is... I gottta suck dick to eat. Not really, but... it aint what I want.
