This is just a heads-up, not an attempt to start a flame war. Someone on the Writing Novels board said, in a thread asking a legitimate question about there being a market for a novel with no sex or violence, "...after all there are so many ways that sex in a book can be written and even though the cheap f books sell fast they are after all only f books. Once in a while you can read a good story in them." She goes on to note that her 9-11 book contained no sex, because "are you going to have men and women messing around while trying to rescue people out of a destroyed building." Maybe it's just that my fur had already been stroked the wrong direction, but I read into that the suggestion that those of us who write 'f books' might have included such a scene.
Anyway, I replied to http://absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10611 and thought other erotica writers might want to know our reputation has been sullied. (So few excuses to use that word!)
