Writing ‘Mirror Secret Mirror’ – A Guest Post by Jessica Seaques

By

This certainly makes for a strange working environment. Although I’m writing dark, BDSM-themed erotica, so the aphrodisiac atmosphere feels kind of appropriate. Two giant mirrors sheet the walls of the office, one in front, one behind. My reflection bouncing back and forth between the opposing panes – reflections reflecting reflections – echoing off to the infinities.

The image of a young woman sitting at a little desk, typing away on her laptop. That’s me: Jessica Seaques. Full-moon face. Fresh, flush cheeks. Tidy ponytail of silky, brown hair. Cool, red, fifties spectacles balanced on my nose. Sleek, steel collar wrapped around my neck. I don’t wear anything else… it’s not that kind of workplace.

Tortured Hero? Difficult Past? Yes, Please! – Guest Blog by Aurora Russell (@arussellromance @goddessfish) #giveaway

First of all, a huge thank you to Lucy Felthouse and Erotica for All for having me!

I wanted to take the opportunity to muse on something that I have noticed that I readers and writers (myself included!) can’t seem to get enough of. If you’re looking for them—and I definitely am!—tortured heroes are everywhere in romance novels. Men with dark and dangerous pasts, physical and emotional scars…these heroes have really gone through some awful ordeals. Why do we love them so much?

A Guest Post from Ralph Greco, Jr.

When I have the chance to marry erotica, satire, and sci-fi, I consider myself a happy writer. I managed to smush these genres into my last short story for a wonderful publication I have contributed to before, Granfalloon. Although, not that I would ever EVER consider myself in the same company as beyond-human scribes like Robert Sheckley, Ray Bradbury, or even Jonathan Swift, who I feel began the satirical-fantasy-erotic tradition in his seminal Gulliver’s Travels, I have tried a modern-day spin on the idea of how indulgent we might indulge our indulgences in the very near future and how there will certainly always be those people and agencies who want to halt those indulgences in their own indulgent way.

A Celebration of “The Good Bits” – A Guest Post by Aurora Russell (@arussellromance @goddessfish) #giveaway

By

First of all, thank you so much to the Erotica For All website and to Lucy Felthouse for inviting me to be here!

Full disclosure, I almost called this post “In Defense of ‘The Good Bits’” but then I realized that I didn’t want to defend anything – parties are a lot more fun than court trials, after all! – and a celebration seemed much more appropriate.

If you’re reading this post, you probably already have an appreciation for what I am calling The Good Bits of stories. You know what I’m talking about. The parts that make your heart pound and your breath quicken…they might even give you goosebumps or cause you to shift in your seat. I LOVE these parts of the story…which is why I write the stories that I do. But why? Why are these parts in particular so compelling? What is it about them?

Why Erotica? – A Guest Post by Mara Malins (@maramalins)

Why erotica?

This question has played over and over in my mind during the last two years, particularly in the year prior to the release of my INKomplete series. I’m predominantly a sci-fi and fantasy reader, with a special place for horror and bizarro fiction in my heart. That’s not to say that I don’t read erotica. Of course I do. I try to read everything and anything (and there’s some absolute fantastic erotic fiction out there), but I am saying that erotica isn’t generally my first choice of reading material.

Erotica When I Grew Up – A Guest Post by E.M. Bannock (@EMBannock @goddessfish) #giveaway

By

I was a teenager in Detroit, Michigan during the 60’s. I moved to Laurel Canyon, a bohemian section of Los Angeles, California in the 70’s. That may seem like ancient history to some of you but it was one hell of a ride, a wild and crazy time. Erotica was still taboo and if you were a woman and wanted to have sex with more than one partner, either one at a time or all at once, you were probably referred to as a slut or a hippie. I don’t really know what it was like being a slut at the time, but I do know what it was like being a hippie.
