The people who leave negative reviews on e-books reporting sex scenes are my heroes. It’s easy enough to filter in smut when you’re reading fanfiction, but the e-book writers get coy about it in their descriptions. If not for sex-averse reviewers, we’d risk reading a “spicy book” that never passes first base, get clam-shelled over the lack of smut, and have to go start a fight with our husbands or something. ...not that I’m speaking from experience, or anything.
But yeah. Someone left a squicked one-star review on a book I was considering. Granted, the review was just the word “sex” written three times – like they’re starring in a demonic possession porno or something - and shoop, there the book went. Right into my cart. I hope it’s filthy. People like that are heroes.

Books need a tagging system.

That’s the truth. I’m down for being able to skip over the “sweet Christian romance” books masquerading as raunchy regency erotica. If I wanted nothing more than a scandalous glimpse of ankle, I’d read YA or something.
The “sweet Christian romance” line is based in reality, though. The number of times I see “this isn’t a sweet, Christian romance” in the reviews of something that has euphemisms for smut baked right into the description makes me wonder if these people are virtue-signaling after their sinning.

And BronxWench, ditto. And I trust the negative reviews more than the five star ones, to a point. There’s a specific book I read a year or so ago that has high reviews but it’s written like the writer was a teenager using chat gpt while drunk; the sex scenes had such a disproportionate number of errors I halfway suspect it was written with one hand on the keyboard and the other in the writer’s pants. The negative reviews pointed out the myriad of flaws, but the positive reviews would have you thinking it was holy scripture or something. I felt dumber having read it, but fortunately, it was borrowed and not bought.

I worry I can’t contain myself to a short story though. Although that might be an interesting challenge. To see if I can do something that quickly. I once wrote a 30 page story (which is currently on AFF) in 48 hours. I’m all about the stamina.

A principle that I usually follow in most things. Or at least I think I do anyway.

Sounds good! People underestimate the K.I.S.S Principle. Keep it simple silly.

Perhaps, although my initial feeling is that it’s not Halloween enough. My basic outline has a woman getting out of a sudden rain storm and happening upon a lone cabin with a guy inside. They ride out the storm together, both literally and figuratively. Many dark twists could be done from this.
