Porn vs Erotica AGAIN

Why do I agonize over this?  I feel like erotica is better than porn, classier, in a way, but at the same time I honestly feel that the only people who worry about being classy are in fact without class. (Then again, I work in fast food and talk about sex on the internet, so clearly I fall into the latter category.) Recently, to make some extra cash, I've started trying to write porn. I say trying, because I'm not very good at it. "Battle of the Dragon Slayer" was supposed to be porn, but the damn thing got too good pretty quickly. Not to say there isn't gallons of dragon cum being sprayed all over the place, but still. (I am trying a second attempt at dragon porn, but the new heroine is still too feisty and prone to plot.)

During Nanowrimo I wrote a lot of porn under various pseudonyms. My concept of writing porn is to be a little silly, a little over the top. "Daddy" step-daughter porn and dinosaur rape--its all ridiculous. I know I'm supposed to be all understanding and "your kink is not my kink and that's okay" but I just can't do it. It's too damn painful.

I started writing some "real porn" and even made the cover before I got too deep into it. Here it is, a perfect copy of the pornos I see in my local sex store.  The photo caters to men, and I was trying to write sexy bimbo lesbians.  Unfortunately for this cover and "Honey Swell" the characters revolted against my fake attempts at man-centric porn.

Things started to get serious, and my pride got the better of me. Bimbos are all well and good if you're a dude, but I am not a dude and I like my erotica women to have some brains (and some balls too, but not in the literal sense). I also respect lesbians too much to write like that. So after Nano I ripped it apart and re-wrote it.  Made a new cover too.

This is smart sex. This is lesbian sex lesbians will read.  It sold 15 copies the first two weeks (which is really good for me).  Not sure how "Truth or Dare Abduction" would have gone over, but Honey's other titles aren't doing so hot. Maybe the readers can tell my heart's not in it. Maybe they do want mental and emotional stimulation after all.

There is a huge market for school girls and lesbians written to entice men and stories where the characters share their measurements with the reader (they have big boobs you know), but I seem to be having a really hard time writing them.  Guess we're not going to see the sequel. Which I also made a cover of. (I like making covers):
Ouch.

"Truth" is available on Amazon.
At her bachelorette party Ginny reveals a secret to her friends: she's always wanted to be kidnapped and ravished by another woman. Jo, a lesbian, just happens to have had a very similar fantasy. Both women are affected when Jo decides to see the fantasy through on the eve of Ginny's wedding.

And there might be a sequel to "Truth." It's called "Lies."
