I'd like to know what authors think about what defines a piece of writing as erotica.
I have been writing and publishing erotica for several years now and I have often been called upon to defend my craft, or in the very least, define it. I'm sure the debate is one all authors of Erotica have faced at one time or another - Is Erotica really the same thing as Pornography? What sets us apart as writers of Erotica? I'd really like to hear from the community at WDC - what are the opinions of the authors that work with this genre? Please take a moment to complete this brief survey. I will share the results with the group and as a thank you, I will review any piece of erotica from your portfolio you wish to include at the bottom.

(R) denotes a required field.
