I don't seek it out either, but since it's not allowed on Amazon, it's a pretty big problem for the sub-genre. But I don't think it's really about quality for you, which is the point I was making. Are you suggesting that a good writer couldn't write incest erotica?

A lot of people refer to romance as trashy novels (hell, I say that *all* the time, but it's always tongue-in-cheek), and they say it for different reasons. Some people think a book with sex is trashy, some people think a book you only read BECAUSE it has sex is trashy, some people think a book about romance Sarah M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4817147291225076419.post-87260131176307482922012-01-03T16:35:34.154-05:002012-01-03T16:35:34.154-05:00Fair enough, JD.

I suppose if I came across any of the above mentioned stories that were incredibly well-written and challenged ideas and all that good stuff, maybe I'd feel differently, but I haven't seen any yet. I also think it's a little different when the stories are erotica, pure and simple, meant to arouse sexual appetites and ideas.J.

The 'trash' concept is an interesting one, but for me it's more about the writing (bland, mechanical and contextless) than the the theme or subject. I mean incest is not a subject that interests me, and I wouldn't read it, but I'm loathe to draw lines.

I suppose since I didn't elaborate on the "stuff I don't read but that I wouldn't classify as trashy" category, I can see how you might assume that I define anything I wouldn't read that way. That's not true. You won't catch me reading anything to do with water sports or various other activities that squick me out, but I wouldn'J.

I thought you meant smutty, plotless sex, poor technical writing, flat characters, tab A, slot B, etc.<br /><br />Well, that turned out to be wrong. Because what you said really offended you was incest erotica.

Haha.<br /><br />I do think it's sad that writers we would like to align ourselves with and support/be supported are too concerned instead with conforming to some not-so-great stereotypes and standards.

I dont write it because other things interest me more, but I too had the same "conform" message. I was encouraged to write romantic erotica because BDSM was too "niche" to sell.
