Erotic Authors Association


Recommended Posts

Posted

In a few weeks, I'll be taking over as director of the Erotic Authors Association. There are a lot of gay authors in the organization, and GLBT fiction is specifically mentioned in the organization's mission statement. However, for those of you who aren't currently members, is there any way in which you think the EAA could be made especially friendly to writers of gay fiction and nonfiction, or otherwise improved? (The old site will be taken down, and I'll be putting up a new one.)

I'm going to have to pass on this one, sorry. I don't write erotic fiction, and I have no intention to do so. Romance fiction, yes, but the name of the association is enough for me not to want to be involved. That may be a mistake, but the name reflects what the association is perceived to be.

 

I wish you all the best, though. It's a big job you're taking on :)

Well (says the romantic fiction writer), if you're not writing romance with erotic elements, then you're right that it's not right for you. :) But thanks for responding.

 

"It's a big job you're taking on"

 

So everybody keeps telling me. "Courageous" is the word that keeps being thrown my way too. I feel like a groom before his wedding night.

Erotic doesn't have to be sleezy as I've seen on other sites. I do wonder what it is you're looking for. I, myself, write erotic fiction.

I agree that erotic doesn't have to be sleazy, and I didn't want to imply there is anything wrong with erotic writing. It's just, for personal reasons, I don't intend to write any.

Was this statement directed toward Graeme?

'Tis all a matter of individual taste. I don't write or read heterosexual erotic writing, but I've read and enjoyed plenty of fantasy and historical fiction novels that included non-erotic heterosexual romantic plotlines.
