Hello all,
I am a graduate student and I have some general questions about being an author for those who do not mind answering. A team of researchers and myself at a small southeastern university conducted a content analysis of erotic literature for rape myths in nonconsensual sex stories in particular, and I would like to get your voice out as the authors and the audience during our symposium next week. During my part, I will be detailing the history of online erotica, the popularity of it, and I would like to mention some comments about authorship. Please keep things general for the sake of protecting your own privacy. I really appreciate your time and responses!
1) What is the motivation for your writing/reading? It is just the genre you prefer? Practice? Well you can practice without writing about incest or rape right?
2) What types of career/education/family life do you have? Many individuals probably have very stereotypical ideas about the individuals that write about particular themes.
3) How much do you value your anonymity and what do you think might be the consequences if it were broken?
4) How many stories have you written personally? How many in personal archive?
5) What did you think about 50 Shades of Grey and its influence on the erotica literature genre?
My guess is that it's just an alt who hasn't had his opportunity to rant about "Shades of Grey" yet this week.

I apologize for offending you. My intention was to offer some criticisms I might be questioned about - sort of playing the devil's advocate - however i edited that out and missed a line. Again, the idea was to get a richer understanding of your pov as an author that chose this particular genre. I've read my share of our sample of 800 stories from 4 of the top visited website and believe me, I do not take offense to the minds of others. Hence my choosing psychology as a major.
To address the 1st and 2nd replies. I'm not entirely fond of qualitative methods as well, but if you are familiar with sociological methodology, the interview is a critical - especially when responses can be themed across responses to a particular question. This information is purely information to engage our audience with discussion. And to lobby for you all as writers. If you want more info about our actual study which followed a scientific approach to content analysis, I'd be glad to offer more information later. I have googled "why write erotic literature" and my question is who's opinion is that really? I'm posting in this particular forum since this is where I'd most likely find an author. Savvy-vous?
To the 3rd replier. I have not had a chance to read 50 Shades of Grey. I am too busy with reading neuroscience and cognition books. I am just interested in you all's opinions as authors in the same genre. Given the somewhat taboo outlook erotica had preceding its popularity en masse, I figured you might have some interesting views. Have you been getting more traffic to your stories? Or noticed a great deal of new authors/stories being posted or posting? You all are the experts. Let me in!
Again, I understand that this is not "scientific" or "experimental" methodology. However, providing converging sources of evidence is good methodology and what I am after. Again, I would rather say "an author from this forum with 30K posts and 1000 original stories write stories because....," rather than "Freud says that authors of erotic literature are fulfilling their repressed childhood urges". I hope you all understand the purpose of my inquiry and I apologize for the editing mistake.
OK! the first question was MEANT TO BE BIASED! The last bit is gone!

Researcher,
Can you tell us more about you and your study? Just out of curiosity...
Although it's fine to respond to the questions from general erotica writing (and might be what makes the thread worthwhile), note that the claimed study is on a specific type of erotica story, not erotica in general: "rape myths in nonconsensual sex stories in particular."
You all are the experts. Let me in!
1) What is the motivation for your writing/reading?
2) What types of career/education/family life do you have? Many individuals probably have very stereotypical ideas about the individuals that write about particular themes.
3) How much do you value your anonymity and what do you think might be the consequences if it were broken?
4) How many stories have you written personally? How many in personal archive?
5) What did you think about 50 Shades of Grey and its influence on the erotica literature genre?
