I think it's likely that ...Thanks for the post. I think it's likely that people aren't finding us, though I don't think this is just about Fifty Shades. I think about big, popular fantasy series such as Kushiel's Dart (full of kinky sex) or Terry Goodkind's Wizard's First Rule (full of kinky sex), which were very much bestsellers but somehow escaped media notice. I wonder if the deal with Fifty Shades is it's not hiding behind another label -- it's being called erotica, and that's what's surprising people so much. <br /><br />Circlet's approach always made sense to me, because I first encountered explicit descriptions of kinky sex when reading big epic fantasy books, so specfic erotica really does seem natural. <br /><br />But I think there has been a stigma to writing and reading erotica (as opposed to fantasy that contains erotica), and hopefully what's going on with Fifty Shades will remove some of that. I am hoping we will benefit from that effect. <br /><br />That said, Fifty Shades also has a couple things going for it, like the full marketing support of a major publisher, visibility in supermarkets, release in e-book, print, and audio forms, and so on. It's hard to compare small press or e-book only releases to that kind of push.<br /><br />I guess overall what I'm saying is, I hope this helps people find erotica. It _is_ still hard to zero in on publishers and writers -- it took me years to do it. I don't think the problem of searching electronically has at all been solved. I think Fifty Shades connection to Twilight was a huge boon to it. Circlet (and your anthologies) has that going -- with connection to popular classics -- but I think that's a different scale from Twilight, and it's clearly not visible. There were a bunch of articles recently about Total E-bound releasing erotic editions of classics, and it frustrated me that this was seen as a new thing -- I've seen so many erotic takes on Jane Austen, etc, yours included.<br /><br />I see the frustration and am not sure what can make what we do more visible. It needs to be acceptable, it needs to be connected to popular mainstream works (so that readers can explore into erotica), and it needs to be possible to find things in the endless maw of books on Amazon.Annabeth Leonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07455191827664110878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954367690330025504.post-54256979362253506942012-05-30T19:03:19.801-04:002012-05-30T19:03:19.801-04:00Thanks for the link to the new site!Thanks for the link to the new site!Mighty Fast Pighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01346990118148153694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954367690330025504.post-73783022840619180162012-03-19T17:07:44.419-04:002012-03-19T17:07:44.419-04:00Yeah, me and DragonAge go WAY back.

Of course there's no higher purpose in anything O does: that's not really the point. It is entirely possible to have an intense personal journey that has no higher purpose without invalidating the experience.<br /><br />I know about all those anti-nun propaganda pieces, but I always found them rather comical. I think, to really get inside the O/nun comparison, you need to read the work of medieval nuns, like Julian of Norwich or even Teresa of Avila. These women describe their long, lonely quests as self-effacing, drenched in suffering, and utterly ecstatic. If you allow yourself to be swept along by their passion, the effect is intoxicating.J.

I see "O", not as...Thanks for the link. <br /><br />I see "O", not as a Campbell-style circular journey, but as a descent into hell that has no escape. O isn't Hercules or Inanna or Jesus; she's Sisyphus, except she rolls her stone downhill all the way. There's no higher purpose to what she does.<br /><br />You're onto something interesting when you talk about O as a kind of perverse nun. There's a long tradition of anti-Catholic propaganda that attributes perverse sexuality to convent and monastic life. "The Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk" was published in the 1830s and tells the allegedly true story of Maria being forced into Montreal convent to serve the sexual desires of monks, who enter the convent via a secret tunnel. Works like this and Diderot's "The Nun" easily inspired pornographic works and fantasies. Oscar Wilde has Dorian Gray purchase and fetishize a nun's habit, and there's a whole genre of nun-sploitation film. <br /><br />"O" is basically an initiation narrative, and for a long time women had only two initiations open to them: marriage and renunciation. So, it isn't surprising that Reage/Aury/Desclos would distill these ideas into erotica, as would another good Catholic girl gone bad, Anne Rice.Mighty Fast Pighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01346990118148153694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954367690330025504.post-23735200436798966132011-07-08T15:17:17.445-04:002011-07-08T15:17:17.445-04:00Looks great!
