Question: Know of any good smut!?
Hello there!. I'm an aspiring author, and as I pursue my works, I find myself!.!.!. Well, to be blatant, I don't know how to write it!. I figured the best way to learn would be to read!.

So, anyone know any good smut I could read!? I'd prefer free, naturally, but I could stand a few recommendations of romance novels, too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Umm, any way you could be a *tetch* less condescending when you call romance novels smut!? *sigh*

Anyway, you might want to consider some of the romance e-publishers like Ellora's Cave, LooseId, or Samhain!. They all have erotic romance, although Samhain has a broader range of heat levels -- not just erotic!.

And you write sex the way you write anything!. You feel what your character feels, you see what they see, you smell, hear and taste everything they do!. Writing romantic sex that isn't purely for titillation is an exercise in emotion and sensuality, not engineering (tab A into slot B)!.

EDIT: It's ok!. We tend to be a little touchy!. Sorry!. *blush* The result of being the red-headed stepchild of genre fiction!. At least you didn't call them "bodice rippers"!

Oh, and if you want print, try Emma Holly, Angela Knight, Lynn Viehl, Sasha White, Eden Bradley!. They write erotica (no guaranteed Happy Ever After) and erotic romance (definite HEA)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

For free smut try literotica!. Lots of material there (mostly amateur so not all is good, so to speak)!.

Sadly, some people seem to equate romance with "porn for women" *sigh* There is such a thing as romance with extremely graphic sex scenes, though!. The subcategory is known as erotic romance, and it has become the biggest selling sub-category of romance!. Yup, sex does sell!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you want smut, or erotic fiction for free, try literotica!.com!. It's mostly a story site and they do have stories that run into book length!. also you can choose what type of "smut" you want by picking the category that suits your fancy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
