I hear about bad sex in books all the time, so I'd like to ask what everyone's favorite piece of erotic writing is instead! Explaining why is welcome. 'Writing' can include comics, serials, poems, on top of books and short stories, as long as what you enjoy about the eroticism centers the text.

An honorable mention to Profane by Ashe Vernon, one of the sexiest poems I've had the pleasure of reading. I'm not huge on poetry, but this one did it for me. XD

KNIVES by @frictionpress.bsky.social made me feel so many ways. @johannestevans.co.uk Powder and Feathers was one of my first real erotica experiences with trans men. Just about everything he writes feels so deeply indulgent and celebratory of sexuality (even when it's nasty).

I raw dog it- theater of the mind only. If I must, i might doodle on a bit of scratch paper but I'll be honest the setting is there to tell the story so if my floorplan isnt perfectly consistent I dont sweat it.

Rien Joyce @rienjoyce.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Im also an underwriter. My revisions almost always add words and Ive had to come to terms with that just being my process. My first past is getting the story down. Then fleshing it out. Then putting the final polish on. An a detailed plot helps XD planning more material than you think you need.

What's crazy about "oh, his reputation" and anxieties about the public perception of rapists and sexual abusers is that like They are rarely anxious about being publicly perceived as sexually predatory bc they know that other men won't really care about that, or will excuse it

He'll technically be doing a bit of that in book 2 so spot on!

Trying to put a starter pack together of writers and artists who do trans men and mascs in romance and erotica, especially who do monsterfuckery & fucked-up dynamics! Further recommendations appreciated! go.bsky.app/QCGDtAH

Musical instrument. I 100% think he needs an instrument to play by the fire. I would say a simple drum- something not fussy or delicate, but capable of great complexity as his skill grows.

Am I allowed to rec myself as a transmasc writer of fantasy and erotica? XD

#LitHodgePodge 3 The only character art I've got is cover art so judge away! Drawn by the amazing @welldipper.bsky.social, text setting done by me so don't judge them by it, haha. David is the foremost character. #writesky #writingcommunity

If you think an artist's style looks like AI but you can scroll back through their portfolio and see them doing the same work before 2020, congrats, you're not looking at an AI grifter. You're looking at one of the original victims whose entire style AI stole.

#LitHodgepodge 2 Wren, Spencer and Reggie would be a lot of fun in an episode of Supernatural. Spencer and Dean would definitely clash over how to properly get rid of ghosts and Wren and Sam would nerd fight over obscure lore. #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #Wrencer

I still can't believe this came together XD I spent Tuesday and Wednesday in an absolute BATTLE FOR MY LIFE trying to get files prepped and validated through Bookvault. On that note, I have unlocked the Book Formatting Skill Tree. I am not sure I'm happy about having to spend my points in it.

Hello! I'm Rien and I write queer adult fiction- especially the dark fucky kind with a touch of fantasy! It was kind of funny filling this out because some of these answers are so different from even just a few years ago. I was a pantser for years before being converted! #LitHodgePodge 1

I need more fiction that centers around crafts. Like Circle of Magic style. But for adults. Please note an adult fantasy idea prompted by this exists in my spreadsheet of ideas and the only note on it is 'thread bondage????'

Absolutely. I am not allowed to go to a fiber festival. I would come home with a sheep and three new hobbies.

Rien Joyce @rienjoyce.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I don't know that any single part always feels easy to me. I know what's always hard for me, but easy? That's a lot more difficult for me to pin down. I think that writing character chemistry is something that is always easier at least.

Rien Joyce @rienjoyce.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Oooh I desperately want an inkle loom. I do NOT have enough room for another hobby. I want another hobby. I want all the fiber crafts.

Rien Joyce @rienjoyce.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

It's the crafter's eternal curse. But hey just think, with more space you'd be able to try new hobbies. Like... spinning.
