Dear fellow authors,
Does the nationality and ethnicity of the characters affect the readers' enjoyment of a story? What are your thoughts on this?
I am Indian and a fairly newbie writer on Literotica. As I am familiar with the social and cultural aspects of my country, I mostly write about Indian characters. I am fairly confident that my stories are grammatically correct with proper spelling and punctuation. I've received feedback from readers that the plot of my stories are enjoyable. In short, my stories are readable.
I am not sure of the demographics of the Literotica readers, but my doubt is, am I losing a majority of readers by writing about Indian characters in Indian setting?
Indian history and mythology has been intricately woven into most of my stories till date, so the characters and/or setting had to be Indian. But I'll definitely have stories to tell in the future where the characters and/or setting may not need to be Indian. In such cases, would it be more prudent to write about native-English-speaking characters in order to, may be, appeal to a broader audience?
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!
