Olivia, i agree with you. erotica never feels like a genre to me either. lately i've been saying that i write sexually explicit fiction because at least right now the sex is not the central theme of my fiction. it is just that i don't pan to the fireplace when the sex starts happening, i take the readers into the bedroom. but erotica isAmanda Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09059621442042833693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685152641201332954.post-33786592376301997152007-06-08T21:52:00.000+01:002007-06-08T21:52:00.000+01:00wow, this was such an insightful interview...thank...wow, this was such an insightful interview...thanks to both Gwen and M.

Hell, 90% of what I love to do in it barely has any sex at all. <BR/><BR/>As for surreal and SF -- I lOVE to write both.
