Many are influenced by the prevalent notion that sex is shameful and must be relegated to the shadows. It's up to us -- the authors -- to fight for our readers.Imphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08619940510165528430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438831558727594666.post-48361921078691900932012-03-07T12:29:36.154-04:002012-03-07T12:29:36.154-04:00*grins* Well, Romance is fiction, too.

No reason it can't be as surreal as... oh, say a 200 year old brooding sparkly teen vampire and his one-dimensional girlfriend.Imphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08619940510165528430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438831558727594666.post-72024993983918056332012-03-07T12:28:54.079-04:002012-03-07T12:28:54.079-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Imphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08619940510165528430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438831558727594666.post-50062345092180670612012-03-07T12:08:17.928-04:002012-03-07T12:08:17.928-04:00I guess you ladies know my in-laws are never going...I guess you ladies know my in-laws are never going to recover when you seduce me into crossing this shadowy line between erotic romance and erotica. I won't be able to hold my head up at the local post office when I start heeding the siren's call of writing TE. I'll have to color my hair at home, too. Order delivery pizza because I dare not set foot int he grocery store.<br /><br />(sob) <br /><br />Wait. How would the good conservative local folk know if I turn to writing TE? I don't know anyone in this small town where I've lived for 25 years who would dare read that kind of thing! I mean, I see them in the liquor store from time to time, but they're only buying alcohol to use when they cook.Eden Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04190711362614433784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438831558727594666.post-52986047364016039762012-03-07T11:53:59.888-04:002012-03-07T11:53:59.888-04:00More intelligent, articulate, utterly rational rea...More intelligent, articulate, utterly rational reasons why censoring anything - and especially sex - is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad thing.<br /><br />As for writing romance . . . well, I do have one short story that qualifies - all I had to do was write a hundred thousand words and then cut off the last 87,000!Sessha Battohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569927397738788073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438831558727594666.post-91487715001844314512012-03-07T11:39:12.168-04:002012-03-07T11:39:12.168-04:00Thank you, Corinna.

(Kudos, by the way, to those who aren't shrugging it off.)Imphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08619940510165528430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438831558727594666.post-36346009242979527272012-03-07T10:35:40.970-04:002012-03-07T10:35:40.970-04:00Nicely said, Alessia.

A small nibble instead of a full bite, but certainly aimed at a population without the cohesion and support needed to stop them from even trying.Corinna Parrhttp://corinnaparrbooks.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
