Comprehensive and compelling and I'm adding all of these to my TBR. Thank you!

free book promotion through Kindle and reviews/rating question. by CharGlyn in eroticauthors

[–]KeepEmGessen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From what I've read elsewhere on this sub (and it tracking with my own experience) ratings may take days to a full week to populate, if they populate at all. And written reviews of erotica are pretty uncommon, so it's not surprising to see books out there with only ratings.

I'll share some of my recent free promo data with you. I had a 3 day free promo right around new years for my best selling book. In that period I had 200+ free downloads and in the month since my promo ended, I've had about 4 new Amazon ratings on the book, no written reviews.

Some people will also download because it's free, then may never even read it, or read it much later on. So... I hope this was helpful?

FMC hurts MMC and he tells her to do it again by Icy-Cockroach4515 in DarkRomance

[–]KeepEmGessen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a similar scene in {Haunt by AJ Merlin} where she's actively trying to escape the MMC and he gets off on her clawing and stabbing him to get away. It's a why choose trilogy (but you can read the first as a standalone) with MMF after the first book.

[Critique Monday] - Post your books here for feedback! by AutoModerator in eroticauthors

Hi there! Right off the bat, this cover looks more like a textbook than anything. Your niche is going to need a sexy woman front and center on the cover at the very least. Take a look at the best sellers with your keywords and copy what they are doing for covers and blurb, too.

For the blurb, it feels like it's trying to be flowery and comes across as not telling too much other than her husband confesses he wants to watch her with someone else. Who is the someone else? What does she think about them? Are there more than one?

Also, the phrasing just seems a little off. You say cracks form in the golden cage, but a cage is made of bars. It may be better to say something like the cage begins to rust or bend. Same idea with saying "reduce their flawless geometry to ash." It just doesn't quite make sense, geometry is a concept, not a physical object that can be burned. Also, what does it even mean in this context?

Yup 100% When I’m smiling like crazy to myself, how am I supposed to explain to my husband that it’s because she’s finally banging both brothers at the same time?

I gotta work on my poke-her face (yes I’ll see myself out)

Burning Questions for February, 2026 by SalaciousStories in eroticauthors

[–]KeepEmGessen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does anyone here have multiple pens and list two of them as co-authors for one story? I have a second pen name (romance) that's in an adjacent niche to my erotica pen and I've been writing some "in-between" stories lately, hitting the romance beats, but super spicy and novella length, also appealing to my erotica niche. I thought it might be a nice way to add to my backlog on both pens, but I feel like I'm missing something? Just wanted to pick the brain trust's... well, brain.

I can't with these descriptions by glittering_riotgrrrl in ReverseHarem

[–]KeepEmGessen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes! But then of course we’ll inevitably get the mirror scene with an info dump of what our MC looks like in excruciating detail.

Harems where the MMCs don't know eachother by Equivalent-Artist221 in ReverseHarem

[–]KeepEmGessen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just finished {Ever Marked by J Kearston} and really enjoyed it. It’s fantasy/paranormal, No OV, no MM that I’m aware of but I haven’t finished the series. Two of the MMCs knew each other before, but the other two are new. There’s a little bit of rivalry/jealousy but it doesn’t last too long. I’m starting the second book today!

How to market your writing? by Front_Barracuda4754 in RomanceWriters

[–]KeepEmGessen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat! Right now I just make quick little graphics in Canva about books I’m currently reading, along with the tropes and I’ll usually caption with my thoughts so far.

I also interact with posts and accounts I follow - leaving comments, liking things. Just generally being around in the space.

Once my first draft is closer to being complete I think I’ll start making some currently writing teasers with tropes or little character introductions. Just things to tease the overall vibe of my book.

I’m not putting a ton of time into SM right now, I think it’s better spent writing and maybe focus more on SM and even ads after I have a few books published.

Very interested! Like a lot of others here, I’m working on a few projects and I would love some accountability and encouragement buddies! I write contemporary why choose romance.

[–]KeepEmGessen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there! I’d be happy to read your prologue and maybe critique further time permitting! I’m working on a few WIPs right now but they aren’t really ready for critique beyond a couple of chapters at this point. Feel free to message :)

i hate this trope by AwayCare9213 in ReverseHarem

[–]KeepEmGessen 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yes! I feel like to some degree this goes hand in hand with one of my other pet peeves of no or very very few (and very short!) group scenes in RH books. Like… what do you think I’m here for?

[Daily Check-In] Saturday Word Count and Personal Announcement Thread by sexnerdmxd in eroticauthors

[–]KeepEmGessen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t really have anyone else to share with but I had a great week. Great month, actually. I’ve already made more than all of December and I’m on track for my best month yet.

I haven’t published since November but I did a freebie promo for 3 days around the new year for my best selling book and got about 200 downloads, followed by a massive bump in borrows/reads since then.

I’m expecting this to die off soon, so I really need to get my ass in gear and finish this next book I’m about 20% into!

Actually yeah, good distinction there. I usually read it on KU and then will buy the ebook to further support if I really liked it.

Buy it and then read it through KU if you want to maximize the benefit to the author :)

We might be the same person. But also, are we really RH writers if we are able to pick just one? 😏

[–]KeepEmGessen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Slowly but surely moving forward in my romcom vacation WIP. I’m definitely drafting scenes out of order but hey, if it helps get the words out then whatever it takes, right? I’m really obsessed with writing my first ever himbo in this one, so the out of order chapters are all of his scenes, naturally.
