Actually, with one of your ebooks presently showing a sales rank at the 200k range, it doesn't look like you're doing too badly if you look at the ranks of a lot of other erotica titles on Amazon. On FB, it helps to join a few of the erotic book fan groups where you can post ads/announcements of your titles. I know one author who does most of her posting early on Sunday mornings. She says this always stimulates sales. I haven't had as predictable experience, but then I'm not willing to get up that early. It's best to be consistent, though, so your name and titles become more and more familiar to more and more people.

Even more importantly...keep writing! There's nothing like putting out a new ebook to get fresh attention, and this helps bring new readers to the titles you've already published. Just keep at it.

It's tough for indie authors especially, but there are plenty of people who support them. It's worth trying to connect with a publisher, too, since having a publisher's imprint on your book never hurts. There's still a lot of self-promotion involved, but having that behind you is a good thing. It tells readers who don't know who you are that a publisher thought enough of your work to invest their resources into publishing it. Either way...with or without a publisher...hang in there for the long haul.

Quote by Vanessavri
There are only so many ways to describe a big cock entering a wet pussy/ tight asshole/ willing mouth. For me, the turn on is the setting of the scene and the dialogue between characters. The build up of sexual tension and desire is often more exciting than the sex that transpires.

Quote by Poppet
It was helpful, thank you.

I'm thinking I'd either want something simple like this one, it seems to be easy to understand.
Kindle Paperwhite - Touch

Or this one because it's bigger, and a fire. But it seems really confusing.
Kindle Fire - The Tablet

Both are great prices, so I'm not sure which way to go. Any suggestions on these two Kindles?

Cheers

Quote by Tammy_Nguyen_77

I'm also not really as angry as I may sound about it. Several people have sent me apology messages when I tell them I'm not into that. I just try to politely let them know that I'm not offended, I'm just not interested in that. My personal opinion is that I enjoy,and am aroused, by people being sexually aroused by my stories. I do not enjoy people being aroused by me. While I am flattered that so many people find me attractive, I feel that any one-on-one sexual roleplay with anyone other than my husband is a form of cheating. Since I'm new here I am interested in other women's opinion on this. Am I out of line being uncomfortable with such activity on a site like this?

ok ... hunnie ... relax!!

With reference to your only question in your opening post .... I think you had a few answers at the beginning until members told you why you were being inundated with requests, etc.

Honestly, the majority of us don't give a crap who's cheating, who's just playing, who's fake, who's real .... just try to enjoy Lush for what it is ... a great place to showcase your writing, if you are a writer; a fabulous place to read some great stories; if you choose to chat and become friendly with other members, you have that opportunity.

So ... relax ... and try to enjoy it.

omg ... what a hilarious thread!!

Half way down, the OP posted her ultimate question on whether cybering is cheating or not. hahaha

Too bad the OP didn't post that first, there might not have been such fireworks!

My take on the cheating/cybering thing is that it is for some "cheating" on their SO ... for others, this is just a Lush Playground that is their secret. Who am I to judge?


I so love some of the entertainment here!

Quote by overmykneenow
The general rule is, as far as I'm aware, if you wouldn't tell your husband that you're doing it, it's cheating.

Quote by overmykneenow


No it is not and you know it.

What it IS like saying is that someone who dresses like that is likely to draw attention, be hit upon, and have some women thinking "who the hell is that skank?". That doesn't mean that anyone can have sex with her - and that is definitely not what I said. Don't put words in my mouth (or whatever the forum equivalent is).

Quote by overmykneenow


I was merely pointing out that your activity including the posting of provocative bikini photos on the internet and publicly tweeting things like "Damn!!! I Hate it when my husband leaves early for work & I wake up in the mood all by myself." might be seen as a little bit of a come-on.

There's very little difference between a tweet and Lush profile blog - if you give people your twitter details on your profile AS YOU DO of course people will go there.

I know what I am and I know when I smell a load of self-serving bullshit, and "lady" you are full of it.

Is that picture you are so flattered that people find attractive actually you? If it isn't, why did you choose it? If it is - what's the deal with the sexy bikini shots from someone who says "I do not enjoy people being aroused by me."?

No, instantly assuming it's ok to cyber isn't cool - from anyone, but I know that the pic I use and the things I say will make people talk to me in a certain way - and I deal with it. So should you.

Quote by overmykneenow
Maybe you're attracting a lot more attention than you want because of the very pretty profile pic you use, Vanessa

Do you wonder why you get this sort of attention when you tweet things like this...

Welcome to Lush, there's plenty of fun to be had but please, don't treat us like idiots.

Quote by Sperminator
Assuming you were able to put aside feelings of jealousy (or have already done so), would it turn you on to think about, or even watch your boyfriend/husband having sex with another woman? Would you be able to just be happy for him because he's enjoying himself?

Quote by JohnC

Might I suggest you do it with your husband?
