Unlisted talent

[togitc]

Alright I rarely post on the boards and my stories are months behind schedule. I have had a recent question rise to the forefront of my mind. You see I consider myself a well rounded writer. aside from my stories here I write normal fiction, poems, scripts, and all that jazz. The odd thing is that I never list the stories here among my skills. I think it is very hard to write a convincing love scene, let alone a good one so there is nothing to be ashamed of. Maybe I am just too shy, there's a thought a guy whose user name mean That one guy is shy.
So in a round about way I am trying to ask this. If in fact you do write fiction outside of the category of erotic do you care if fans of your non-erotic fiction were to find out about it?

Yes, if I did get some non-erotic published, I would care. Erotica has a stigma and no matter how good my non-erotic is, it'd be judged on the fact that I write erotica.

What he said

An actress aspiring to a starring role in a Broadway show or a movie would probably not mention that she blew a few big ones on film. Especially if she used a name like "Deep Throad Dee" or "Coal Chute Carolyn."

Maybe I am an idiot, but I do write using my real name.

If I get challenged about my erotic stories I say yes that is me. Don't forget we have a lot of famous forerunners - the poet, Appolonaire; Picasso; Titian; Titian's patron Arretino none of whom were afraid of appending their name to their work. For us it should be easier, stars like Madonna have made erotica chic.

A few months ago the Housing Association - my landlords sent a gas fitter around. He looked at my name and said to me, "Do you write on Literotica?" When I replied, "Yes." He told me that he enjoyed my stories especially The Car.

That was a real ego boost that would not have happened if I were not upfront about my work.

That was pretty obvious. Almost as obvious as the fact that my username stands for Sweet Venomous Erotic Northern Scandinavian Kinky Adorable Funny Lovely Intelligent Cool Kissable Angel.

That is brilliant. I wish I had the bravery to use my real name. But face to face praise I can relate to being a sometime amateur actor and there is nothing in the world like applause.

Keep it up Jon ( and the writing too)
