@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#EroticMusings 39: Does your erotica explore themes of the "exotic" and/or of "otherness"?
I describe different bodies, but I do my best to have my characters marvel at all of them. Fenia and her pink skin is as wondrous to behold as Fabiolas dark one with the silvery strech marks, as wondrous as Alexis and her freckled knees.
My characters share a deep ado…
@AimeeMaroux@mastodon.social#EroticMusings 47: How much time do you spend making erotica in a week? Do you have a regular schedule?
I'm not a hard schedule kind of person but I try to write on average something like 200 words per day at least. Didn't work out lately due to several reasons, including a nasty cold, but I want to get back into that stride.
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#eroticMusings Week 47. (April 19-25) Studio: How much time do you spend making erotica in a week? Do you have a regular schedule?
I don't. It depends on a lot of things, actually. Including health (mine has been poorer than average for a while, acute stuff added to my chronic issues) and amount of overtime in other spheres I need to do for whichever reason.
But it's a…
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#EroticMusings 42: Do you include different languages in your work? Tell us about it!
Deliberately no conlang from me. I try and find ways to convey multiple languages including language barriers without using anything but German (the language I write my novels in), sometimes using German neologisms for concepts not existing in our world or not fitting the tone.
(Like using &q…
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#EroticMusings 41: Are you self-taught, or have you been trained or mentored in your craft? Would you like more?
Trained in writing patterns by wolfing down absurd amounts of books starting at age nine.
Honed by writing novel-length stuff by hand during school out of sheer boredom (even though my wrist hurt badly).
Polished by receiving Bachelor and Master degrees related …
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#EroticMusings 37: Does any of your erotica take place during festivals or cultural celebrations? Why do/don't you include such events in your work?
One of my participations in either Kinktober or Aprilkink featured the Erytan new year/winter solstice celebrations with their different rituals and traditions.
The corresponding summer festival gets a brief mention in tome 4 o…
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#EroticMusings 40: Where/how do you promote your erotica? Is it effective? How do you evaluate that?
It's almost exclusively on the Fedi, with some occasional outliers (there is a regular queer online reading thingy where my works are shown, a webpage I can send promotional material to and once a blogger reached out to me with interview questions).
It would have been effect…
@june_thalia_michael@literatur.social#EroticMusings 36: Do any of your characters, like the waxing and waning moon, show different aspects of self that they cycle/transition between? Natural cycles like menstruation, or more fantastical?
Not really, but Alexis and her friend Avalina always meet for sex when Kera (Avalinas partner) is having his period. Avalina then proceeds to tell Kera all the details for Kera to mast…
