And Annabeth, yes, Erotica Revealed closed some time ago, but all of us who wrote monthly reviews for it could probably recycle them in other venues.Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-341787151365210492016-02-11T06:54:55.829-05:002016-02-11T06:54:55.829-05:00"My proudest achievement was asserting once, ..."My proudest achievement was asserting once, with absolute sincerity, that if your taste ran to porn treatments of The Land that Time Forgot by Edgar Rice Burroughs, this was the book for you."<br /><br />Truly, this is an amazing sentence. Kudos!<br /><br />And I hadn't realized that Erotica Revealed was no longer active. :( That's sad to me.Annabeth Leonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07455191827664110878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-35169222716604155982016-02-11T06:54:22.833-05:002016-02-11T06:54:22.833-05:00Cities of the Red Night was such a weird and frust...Cities of the Red Night was such a weird and frustrating read for me. In parts I found it captivating, mysterious in a good way. But there were long stretches where I just didn't know what I was doing there. I've never forgotten the erotic hanging scenes, though...Annabeth Leonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07455191827664110878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-19628033253620404182016-02-11T06:53:28.574-05:002016-02-11T06:53:28.574-05:00Haha, seconded.

Burroughs and encountered "The Sins of the Cities of the Plain; or, The Recollections of a Mary-Ann, with Short Essays on Sodomy and Tribadism."<br /><br />Seems that work was influential to Burroughs' penning "Cities of the Red Night".Daddy Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927663248424944119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-18873561464565875022016-02-08T08:00:40.619-05:002016-02-08T08:00:40.619-05:00That's one reason I love writing steampunk.

Although I adore reading historical fiction (including historical erotica), I don't have your patience. I'll do the minimum research required to sound plausible, but I am quite sure I'll never read a 800 page tome just to make sure I don't screw up something in a short story.<br /><br />That's one reason I love writing steampunk. In some sense, it's historical fiction for the lazy. Although I recently got an email from someone who'd read my steampunk novel Rajasthani Moon and wanted to know exactly when it took place!Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.com
