Hey guys!
I've recently started writing erotic fiction. Also this is my first post on any forum about it (wooooo).
I just wanted to get people's thoughts and opinions on what is considered acceptable by publishers. I know it's one thing to write very explicit material between consenting adults - but what if it's non-consensual, or its a human with something non-human? Essentially what if it's a bit messed up?
Also a lot of places like Amazon have guidelines that say:
" Pornography
We don't accept pornography or offensive depictions of graphic sexual acts. "
So erotica is not porn. But the "offensive depictions of graphic sexual acts" ... could that limit things like the non-consensual sex and other taboo. I mean i have no desire to write about people under 18, but there was this scene involving tentacles that I guess could be considered offensive as that's technically 'beastiality'.
Sorry for all the scrambled thoughts! But yeah - how is this stuff viewed? I'm just not sure! and if it's not OK to publish on Amazon - is there an outlet for it?
My book is a M/M erotica in the fantasy genre
