I'd like to bring in a story at 3K.Melisse Aireshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478569639424075550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7017490850943617398.post-45024850517092354992012-04-30T22:11:47.356-06:002012-04-30T22:11:47.356-06:00If you're writing erotica, readers tend to wan...If you're writing erotica, readers tend to want the physical stuff to picture. If you're writing romantica, they also want the mental stuff. Mental allows for romantic growth in erotic romance (romantica). I can always tell when I get a negative review. The reviewer expected erotica but wound up with erotic romance (more explicit sex scenes with romantic growth). So, more of the "how does it feel' will work make EC happy but they also want the mechanics. ;P<br /><br />I also bought the top 10-15 erotic (sub-genre) romances I classified my early work as (because I wasn't writing erotica but my editor asked for more explicit sex) and analyzed what works for readers!<br /><br />I also heard stats show last year's m/m erotica sales dropped 10% and that the best-selling heat levels selling were 3 flames, not 5 flames, at ARE. There's you a little info to make you feel better!Skhyehttp://skhyemoncrief.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7017490850943617398.post-47342320051728719522012-04-29T20:03:25.884-06:002012-04-29T20:03:25.884-06:00I've been reading lots of EC titles, good sell...I've been reading lots of EC titles, good selling ones, to get a clue.<br /><br />I'm thinking of inviting erotic romance writers to guest blog--with their tips of the trade!Melisse Aireshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478569639424075550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7017490850943617398.post-46866386864412321392012-04-29T18:54:11.262-06:002012-04-29T18:54:11.262-06:00I can certainly relate to this.
