I’m asking this question because I’ve noticed that I seem to be pretty adept when talking about erotic aspects of movies. I did write an erotic piece ages ago and that surprisingly had a good reception. I wanted to put the question to all of you to see what you thought. Would you mind if I wrote erotic stories on here? Of would it distract from my movie reviews? Whatever your take, please give it.
Should I Write Some Erotica on Here?

Vinnie! My friend. If you have an itch, scratch it!
Whatever interests you, write about it. As a ghost writer of some paranormal/supernatural romances, I’ve dabbled in the erotic too. It’s a very popular sub-genre. I think if you apply some storytelling you’ve absorbed from all the great movies you’ve seen, you can rise above the cliches. Erotica can still have characters that matter and a plot, right 😉 Your readers may appreciate this approach. Plus, this way you can have fun but it may also turn into something viable (ie: one day, compiling your online stories into a book collection and selling it).
I think your site shouldn’t be confined to movies. It should be confined to your interests. Whatever they are, share them. I can tell from some of your writing, that you could actually develop your craft more while also just having fun.
Best of luck!
If you want any samples or tips on writing, please feel free to let me know. I know how dedicated you are to your site, and imagine you would be dedicated in anything else you pursue. I don’t mind taking the time to help a fellow movie nerd (turned writer).

Right on #writeon – Shoot me an email if you like and I can send you some chapter samples to help inspire you further – slipthroughblog (-at-) gmail. I recently collaborated on a Swedish crime thriller with erotic sequences too (so not all YA audience like paranormal stuff is). While romance is not a genre I read, my clients were rather satisfied with what they commissioned from me.

SLIP/THROUGH - Dan said:
After reading samples, if you had questions about the behind the scenes process, I could help there.
For most interested writers, the largest hurdle is the intimidation of the blank page. Never look at it. Go on a walk. Watch something in the same genre you intend to write for inspiration. But never think about what you DON’T have written. Only think about the process.
It’s easier to build the motivation and dedication to the craft if you set it up so you always know what you’re writing tomorrow. Another tip, finish your day’s writing in the middle of your scene/chapter. You can think about what to write while you’re away from the page since you know exactly where you are. When you sit down to write, it should flow better.
Always start with the outline and fill in the blanks with new ideas. When you write the actual pages, you’ll just plug and play (in effect). That’s how I’m able to write a chapter for a book, pages for a movie, outlining a couple projects every day.
I hope these small general inspiration tips help.

You’re welcome, Vinnie. I know how hard it is to get some sincere feedback when you reach out to your community. I had to drop my 2 cents into your wishing well 😉 I’m old school, buddy. Treat others how you want to be treated. It’s no problem. Time permitting, I sincerely will help you (if I can) develop your writing. You’re young enough to really take off with this. I’d create a penname for erotica, in case you want to write movies/fiction in future, as some may look down at the genre (and I don’t mean down as in ‘cuz their other hand is busy hehehe). Us writers have to look out for each other.

I assume you mean literotica, not just porn…
I recently learned there is website called Literotica, but I am referring to the genre.
Long before E.L. James got rich, it was more of an aspiration than a genre; the idea of writing GOOD stories, well written, that were also erotic.
If you aspire to write, you should wrote about something that you know thoroughly…
So plan on doing A GREAT DEAL OF RESEARCH…(consider it a labor of love.)
Some people are uncomfortable about being associated with erotica.
Ann Rice wrote under a pseudonym when she wrote the Sleeping Beaty series before she became famous.
It’s only my opinion, but this is a great community here at WordPress, almost like a virtual writers colony, and unless you have employers or relatives of whom you fear reproach, I say just do it.
It allows those of us who read your reviews to get a glimpse of another aspect of your talents.
Either way, we’ll be looking for you.

If you want to write erotica on your blog then you go ahead buddy. My only suggestion would be is that for a lot of people something personal can’t help but come through in your writing even when you’re creating worlds, experiences or characters very different from your own. There’s nothing more personal than sex. So my suggestion would be maybe to clearly point out that these stories that have nothing to do with your life or write under an alias. At least until you’ve found your feet in the genre. When I wrote my short story last year Birth Days, I wrote a fairly straight forward sex scene but I cringed wondering how people would take it. Erotica is whole other level because the sex is the point of the story and what it says about us humans. Just another opinon.
