They'll never take you seriously."<BR/><BR/>On one hand, that's probably reality. On the other hand, what if she didn't call it eroitca when she mentioned it? What if she called it paranormal fantasy? I hate the idea of doing a tippy-toe around a word, but if we broke down the walls and simply called what we write 'literature,' who would pay attention to the arguement that it wasn't?Kathleen Bradeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347913255760493335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14040026.post-1128320603196820512005-10-02T23:23:00.000-07:002005-10-02T23:23:00.000-07:00Your line "Sometimes I feel as if erotica writers ...Your line "Sometimes I feel as if erotica writers raised the walls of our own ghetto" rings so damn true that sometimes it breaks my fucking heart.<BR/><BR/>Why DO we do this to ourselves?<BR/><BR/>You know, I only joined ERWA because I tried posting on a straight fiction list and they kicked me off for being too explicit. At first, it never even occurred to me to call it erotica.<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/><BR/>rgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14040026.post-1127967892942622062005-09-28T21:24:00.000-07:002005-09-28T21:24:00.000-07:00Thanks Nan.

That and the sun tats. Nice touch. <BR/><BR/>It was also the best kind of erotica, IMO, because it was a story first. The erotic part was interwoven and part of its nature by not the only thing the reader gets out of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
