So I've never delved into the world of erotica... well not as an author...
I have this hazy plot idea though and I wonder if it is a thing? I have an idea for an erotic murder mystery. Is that a subgenre? A big no-no? Is that a thing? Just wondering if I should pursue it or just leave it in the haze that it already is. The idea behind it is a detective that is finding victims around town. They seem to happen to everyone, men, women, every race, every walk of life. The one thing they have in common is that they are found either completely nude or at least in some sexual position or another. The perp is going to be an alien/monster (haven't completely decided yet) that kills the victims in a way that is actually pleasing... like orgasming to death. The victim doesn't feel pain because their brains are being overloaded with pleasure, but ultimately the murderer is killing them by completely consuming their life energies through sex.
Granted, there may be a book about this already that's well known, but I haven't read enough erotica to find it and like I said, I don't even know if this is a thing.
Thoughts? Is it too regular for an erotic murder mystery? Is it off? Be critical, I can take it and I have no experience in writing erotica. I mean, I don't even know if I'm posting my thread in the right area, lol. Thanks.
