Do any of you ever get fan mail? I do, once in a while, and mostly it's nice. People who want to take a moment to let you know you got something right, or understood their particular quirk, that sort of thing.
But about once a year I get a really disturbing fan mail from someone who describes a (real?) sexual experience that in some way resembles what I wrote but takes it to places I consider unsafe and, speaking frankly, sick. Often they want me to write a story using the practice, whatever it is. (Do people who write westerns or cookbooks get as many people shoving ideas at them as erotica writers do? I doubt it!)
I've long thought that if the telling seemed factual, and involved a child, I'd go to the police even if that meant outing myself as an erotica writer. But garden variety e-e-e-ew, I only let my skin crawl, then delete it.
What about you other erotica writers? Do you get that really weird stuff from readers?
