@AimeeMaroux@mastodon.social#EroticMusings week 4: Is your MC the kind of person you’d want a relationship with? How would they feel about you?
Thinking just of OCs, no, I wouldn't wanna date them and they probably wouldn't want me either. And the gods... no, the risk it won't end well is just too high 😳
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#EroticMusings 8: Do you consume much erotica? Is it similar to your work? Share your favourite works or creators!
As mentioned on last week's prompt, I respond to erotica mainly on an aesthetic level (I think it's pretty) and only ever look at comics and drawings, or read fiction.
Most of my favs are in German, but I have some favourite artists who create in English/in…
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#EroticMusings Woche 3: (15-21. Juli) Arbeitsbedingungen.
Ist das Erschaffen deiner erotischen Kunstwerke Teil deines Alltags und deiner regulären Arbeitszeiten, oder davon getrennt?
Ganz regulär. Wenn ich genug Löffel habe, dann entweder ab 17:00 oder an Tagen, an denen ich nicht arbeiten muss, direkt nach dem Aufstehen.
Etwas ungünstig war der Zeitpunkt des Release-Count…
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#EroticMusings 12: Recommend a tool (or more than one) or just tell us about your personal favourite. Could be a physical tool, a piece of software, a type of paper, a desk lamp, whatever you like.
In all honesty? MS Paint! When one or both test readers are unsure where which body part (or toy) goes and how everything is aligned, drawing stick figures and discussing matters goes a l…
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#EroticMusings Week 3 (June 15-21), Studio: Is your work in erotica integrated with your day-to-day life and work, or somewhat separate?
It's fully integrated, but I also have it easy. I work from home, so no strangers snooping. And I mostly write (and occasionally draw). When you enter the room, you see my set-up from the front or side, nothing to see there.
Funny story th…
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#EroticMusings 7: Do you have a distinct style? Did you develop it intentionally? Do you want to change it?
I think that my choice of vocabulary, especially in the erotic passages, is quite unique. Also my tendency to start German sentences with "but" and my very own brand of gender neutral language, because German is everything but (unless you costumise it).
Some of …
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#EroticMusings Woche 2: (8-14. Juli) Handwerk.
Experimentierst du bewusst mit (Kreativitäts-)Techniken? Zeige was her, falls du möchtest.
Herzeigen mag ich gerade nicht, aber ich habe bei Stjepan Sejic gelesen, dass er erst grob eine Skizze macht (sehr rudimentär), dann die Grundfarbe auf die Skizze großzügig draufklatscht und diese dann mittels Radiertool und weiteren Ebenen q…
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#EroticMusings Woche 6: (06.-13. August) Setting.
Bevorzugst du eng gefasste Settings (z.B. “Kammerspiele”) oder große Welten? Kommen Orte mehrfach vor?
Eine Mischung aus beidem. Erytan ist ungefähr so groß wie Indien, aber bisher wurde überwiegend die Hauptstadt Sorlys und die Schattenschwingenvilla ein Stück außerhalb ausführlicher erkundet. Da ist noch viel Platz.
Ich v…
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#EroticMusings Week 11 (August 10-16) Setting
How much does the weather feature in your work? Does it lead to (or hinder) erotic interactions?
Weather shapes the daily life a lot - Sorlys, the capital of Syrlain where currently everything takes place, is a seaside town with mediterrean to subtropic weather. Many take a nap between lunch and afternoon tea, simply as its too hot …
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#EroticMusings Week 10 (August 3-9) Culture: Is there a refreshing trope, pattern, or topic that you'd like to see more of in erotica?
More own voice stories. (A reminder that I only read books and comics, with the occasional artwork on my feed on the fedi).
There are lots of stories around about how people imagine certain groups to have sexy times. I often see complaints f…
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.socialIch plane, ab Juli hier im Fediverse eine deutschsprachige Version der #EroticMusings zu hosten.
Das ist eine wöchentliche Aktion, sowohl, weil das Original eine ist, als auch, weil ich mehr nicht hinkriege.
Wer hätte denn schon mal Interesse daran, mitzumachen?
Ich tagge auch mal die Gruppe @…

@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#EroticMusings Week 6 (July 6-12) Setting: Do you prefer to work with constrained settings or expansive? Revisit locations or move on?
Expansive locations, with some recurring. I want to evoke a sense of familiarity and homecoming - describing a place for the second, third, fourth time giving the reader a cozy feeling of having been there so often, that every part of the place is kn…
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#EroticMusings Woche 5: (29. Juli - 5. August) Kultur.
Wie gehst du in deinen Werken mit Stereotypen über Geschlecht um? Erforschst oder hinterfragst du sie? Nutzt du sie in irgendeiner Form (aus)?
In den Bänden ab Band zwei arbeite ich Unterschiede zwischen Erytan und Syrlain in Sachen Umgang mit Geschlecht aus. Dazu gehört, dass Alexis und Marlius beim Frühtee mit deren Mutte…
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.socialWeek 1 - #EroticMusings Setting — Is sexuality suppressed or celebrated in your setting? Is the setting erotic in its own right?
Writing in German, but still wanted to participate here. In Erytan, where at least the first five novels take place, sexuality is not only celebrated. Ethical BDSM is governing every aspect of culture, including the aspect that the official title of the q…
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social(Ich pinne euch nachher die deutschen Prompts für #EroticMusings im August. Vielleicht auch erst am Abend. Je nachdem, was ich sonst heute erledigen muss. Übersetzt wären sie schon mal.)
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#EroticMusings Woche 1: (1-7. Juli) Setting.
Wird Sexualität in deinem Setting unterdrückt oder gefeiert? Ist das Setting an sich erotisch aufgeladen?
Erytan ist in Sachen Sexualität frei. Alles, was Erwachsene einvernehmlich miteinander tun wollen, ist legitim und Erotik wird nicht ins Hinterzimmer verbannt, sondern ist regulärer Teil des Alltags. Weil ich meinen Fokus beim Sc…
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#eroticMusings Week 5 (June 29-July 5) Culture: How does your work explore, challenge, and/or exploit gender stereotypes?
A thread.
The first tome is from the POV of Fenia and delivers the classical "getting to know a new culture from the view of an outsider" trope.
Fenia was also very deliberately crafted to embrace some characteristics of a typical NA protagoni…
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#EroticMusings 9: How important is it for characters to be distinct from each other? (visually, emotionally, other ways)
Do you use any frameworks (e.g. astrology, MBTI, elements) or techniques to distinguish them?
I don't use frameworks. What I do is giving them a distinct past and have that past inform their present and their actions.
Fenia feeling too greedy for hav…
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#EroticMusings week 4: Is your MC the kind of person you’d want a relationship with? How would they feel about you?
I would love to have Fabiola as a friend (though without the additional benefits - while I enjoy writing about this kind of relationship, it's not something I personally want. What I'm into when writing and outside of it are actually pretty different things). S…
