I'm Zed Prospero, Bi/Demi ADHD writer of satirical fantasy and the occasional queer smut as Zeke Caliban.

I've published two novellas and my main WIP is "Hell Is Work" about Hell's Consultant, Virgil Mora, and Lucifer, the angel he's fallen for.

If that's interesting, say hi!

The 'clobber'ing is very much implied to occur imminently.

Cupid is doing a different type of clobbering via operational security. Dial it back, lady! No wonder "Comet" has a complex. 😡

Porn- Any explicit material depicting nudity or sex acts with the intent of sexually gratifying the audience. I typically reserve this for visual media and only jokingly use it for erotica.

Erotica- Written material almost entirely designed to sexually titilate and gratify the reader-

Something of a reflective topic for today's #Smutcember prompt:

What are the differences between porn, smut, and erotica to you? What's something you wish was better understood about these distinctions, or these styles/genres in general?

I honestly haven't given this that much thought, so here's my attempt at defining them now:

Porn is just sex. Erotica has a narrative that supports frequent, explicit sex scenes. Smut is broader term for storylines that prominently feature sex scenes, whether they are the focus or not. #Smutcember

Holy shit. I'm only 20 sales away from having sold 400 copies of "Good Boys Don't Howl."

Most were free, but the money wasn't the point. The point was "I'm SUPER queer" and allowing myself to embrace it.

So, uh... Anyone interested in a very kinky sex comedy story?

I feel like "smut" is us taking ownership of a term originally mean to be derogatory?

Porn is about getting yourself off. The character and plot are not as important.

In smut/erotica, I want the characters to live out *their* fantasies and get off. A lot.

THE HERMIT: Uncle Jasper is pretty mysterious in the narrative atm, a mentor/supportive relative to both Hyacinth & Lady Rose. Aneccentric gentleman in his own right, he flits between Upright and Reversed positions, due in no small part to his history w the Sesina Court as a doctor.

Princeling Hael is waffling between being the responsibilities of their position and upholding the traditions that would make them feel connected to their family, ancestors, etc. It's a balancing act, both Upright & Reversed.

STRENGTH: Both Ari and Cy display amazing feats of strength throughout the story, both emotional and physical. They've both come into their masculinity hard-won, so they try to use their powers for good, so to speak.

A29. TW: Sext ment

It all has to do w/ specifics:
Porn: has to do w/ any sex-based media, whether it be magazines or movies.
Smut: Sex-based scene or story in narrative. This is most often in books.
Erotica: Category of literature that's mainly focused on sex-based plot.

Definitions: tbh, I have no idea. I have been told by others that I just write "romance because the focus is on the story regardless of how much sex is in it or how detailed" but idk what difference any of it makes. 🤣 I suppose it might make targeting an audience easier/better. 🤔 #Smutcember

#Smutcember 29:

The way I think of it, porn shines a spotlight directly on the sex with enough narrative framework to give it context. Erotica focuses on the overall sexiness within a more developed narrative framework with the expectation that sex will be central, frequent, and explicit. (1/8)

The only rules Raven follows as an assassin is the rules of the guild. They are not allowed to kill just anybody.

Trig has more morals. He tries hard not to kill people. He tries to talk to people first and does his best to teach Raven to do that as well. Sometimes it works.
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Are there any rules your character chooses to live by?

A code that guides their actions?

Have they always had it? Did it come from an external source or from inside? What are the consequences of breaking it?
