Good gracious, it’s rather shocking to read my writing quoted outside of any context. Frankly, I abhor the thought that all of my writing existence might be limited to the romance genre but I do appreciate your flattering words.

“His trembling nostrils explored the buttery cob before his teeth crunched ecstatically into it, spurting juices over Catherine’s startled face.”

this isnt parody. erotica was never this good. its on another level, which has me worried. you may have hit on a winning formula Nora. Imagine writing this stuff for the rest of your writerly existence. hehe

Oh I do find the inability to edit comments dreadful. I should have spell checked. Host, could you insert the “o” please in “yu?” And also the word “erotic” before “parody?” Thank you.

Kaylie, you are not the only one who feels this way. Other readers appear to also enjoy the erotic parody more than the romance. Assuming all goes well in the vote, I would do well to take this into account for the next round.

I like this more when you veer toward erotica — I see the humor better and it feels more like a parody. Most of the time it really reads like romance to me, without much parody.

This is an excellent question, Eros. I have been asking this myself recently. However, I am not fully acquainted with all of these genres so I’m not in a position to answer it. As you say, it began as romance but I suppose it now overlaps with other genres. At this point I’m mostly writing whatever comes into my head, especially whatever is most outrageous. Perhaps you remember me mentioning this earlier, but my primary motivation is to vindicate myself and get back at a friend of my husband’s who called me prudish several months ago. It may not be the most noble of writerly intentions but it does goad me on so which makes for marvelous inspiration!

Vasia, let me ask you, if I were to refer to you as “girl” or “child” would you be indifferent to it? Perhaps I’m just old fashioned but I find the casual use of these terms of endearment at best discomforting and at worst offensive.

Nora, I just have one quick question. Is the genre your writing in romance or erotica? I thought in the begining that it was romance but now you seem to be more in the bi-sexual erotica category. I am only asking for clarification so I can know which mind set I should be reading this from. Love, Eros

My apologies Nora – how do you feel about “woman” – just curious…Afraid to approach Seldom Seen on this one…Don’t want to pick any bones with that one!
