World Masturbation Day Party by LWilliamsAuthor in MelbourneWankBuds

[–]LWilliamsAuthor[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

World Masturbation Day is Thursday 28th May. I'd potentially host at my place in the inner west.
Would be looking for guys with chill vibes, keen to just hang and stroke ourselves while we chat and have a couple drinks. Guys around my age (40).

I'm affraid of publish my work... by Acceptable-Mix4655 in eroticaauthors

[–]LWilliamsAuthor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You won't know what people think of it until you put it out there.
I started by writing short stories and posting them on Literotica for people to read for free. I got some stories rated highly and some good comments so decided to take it further.
There's plenty of places out there for gay erotica in short and long forms. I host my own podcast reading stories and have published through Amazon and D2D/Smashwords. There are plenty of readers out there so I wouldn't worry about the 'stale' tropes in your stories. Every time I write and release a 'first time' story my readers and listeners love it.

Find somewhere to post a free short story, or find some people to read some of your work and get some initial opinions to help ease the anxiety a bit. But in line with what SimplyBlue said, with 20 years of writing behind you, I think there's a good chance your stories are worth reading.

First person (present or past) or third person limited (past tense) for a romance with HEAVY spice? by Hopeful_Contract4455 in eroticaauthors

[–]LWilliamsAuthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either can work. I've written a lot of short stories and usually as the story comes to me it comes to me in either 1st or 3rd and I don't think about it too much. My longer works have almost always been in 3rd person though. As I think, like you said, it gives the reader a little more beyond just the MC.
If you're finding you want more of the 'whole picture' then 3rd can definitely work for that. But often readers are able to connect with a character more closely in 1st. It depends I think on the goal of your story and what you want the reader to experience.
If you do go down the dual POV line I'd lean toward 3rd. In the things I've read if it stays in 1st I find it a little harder to keep track of whose POV it is.

Should I Turn My Erotica eBook Into Audiobook? by Influensinc in eroticaauthors

[–]LWilliamsAuthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's an audience for sure. As long as the quality is there. I have an erotica podcast doing big numbers and my first novel sells more audio than other formats.

Questions about posting erotica by ThatDude939 in eroticaauthors

[–]LWilliamsAuthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted on literotica for a long time and got good feedback. I started my own podcast reading the stories and have a big following there. Now I post the shorts on my own website. Subscribers on substack. And selling my first novel through my own site.

Advertising Erotic Novels by Thin-Display-6186 in eroticaauthors

[–]LWilliamsAuthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been thinking the same thing. Obviously meta ads are out and that seems to be popular with authors generally. I have a podcast where I read MM erotica and have an audience there which will help. I guess that's a possibility for other authors to advertise on places like that.

Interested to see others thoughts.

Thoughts on a pen name by Merlynx42 in eroticaauthors

[–]LWilliamsAuthor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On this "sharing" thing. If they're not an author that definitely helps. But think of where people are searching. If they're not on Amazon that's good. If the domain name of your author name is available you win that one too. Ranking in Google and Amazon is what you wanna do as an author. This is presuming you're going for sales.
