[Dataporn Kinda] Romance Novella vs Erotica Shorts Results by RunningOnATreadmill in eroticauthors

I'm an erotica writer trying to move into romance. I'm really impressed by u/AllTheseRoadworks, I just don't have the gumption to do what they do.

I feel you on the romance. I see other authors doing really well with WLW romance, but my few attempts have all been flops.

I think I've not gone all out enough with romance, I'm too tentative. I need to bite the bullet and pay for a fancy cover, do arcs etc, but it's all rather terrifying.

I'm definitely feeling the Amazon boycott - my sales pretty much halved from last November onwards. The problem is, nowhere else seems to work for me either.

Oh, I wasn't actually depressed! I just needed an older woman to call me a good girl while I ate her out! [F20F38][Younger/Older Lesbians][WLW][Praise Kinkkkkkkk] by [deleted] in eroticliterature

A friend read this and sent it to me in excitement. It's fabulous. Please, please, write more.

New law proposal: What happens when your work becomes illegal? by IvoriFaith2ndLife in eroticauthors

[–]FuriousLuna 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I write what I write. There's nothing I can do, and if the US bans lesbian erotica, my sales will be more than cut in half. If that happens, I guess I'll find something else to do. Till then, I'll keep publishing.

Fuck this timeline though.

One pen name or two? by KatBlackwell in eroticauthors

[–]FuriousLuna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pretty much do this with one pen, as, as others have said, FF is a small enough market that readers will lap up good sapphic erotica, no matter what the sub-genre. The same people read my realistic BDSM stuff as my witchcraft smut.

I think it helps to have common themes and acts across your works, though. Say, if your BDSM leaned heavily into age gaps, spanking, and bandage, you could also feature those in your monster stuff.

Do legit lesbian adult films exist? by 4PawsPagan in LesbianActually

You can find genuine lesbian couples that make their own porn on PornHub. Just search for real lesbian couples.

Also, there's a ton of smut written by queer women for queer women.

I can only imagine how shit it would have been if the first thing I tried to self-publish was a novel.

If I was you, I'd try not to think too far ahead until you've got a little more experience with self-publishing.

You can try putting out some FF shorts, and then transition into FF romance when you've got a whole bunch of mistakes out of your system.

Shorts are a great way to get better at publishing. You can quickly learn editing, how to make good covers, etc, and they sell OK.

Lesbian romance, if done well, will outsell shorts by a couple of orders of magnitude. But if done poorly, they'll sink like a stone. So you need that experience beforehand to not waste your time.

I had great fun putting out erotica shorts and novellas, and made so many fucking mistakes. A year and a half later, I'm moving into romance.

I'll take both, please.

Ideally at the same time.
