I read so much Monster Romance. I’m a reviewer and throw commentary out there. Most of the time I fangirl over my love of this genre and its community.

Our favorite steamy romance authors don’t just disappear from platforms. They are systematically banned by payment processors who’ve become the internet’s most powerful censors.

This is my family room window here in the Midwest. It is absolutely covered with dew from the corn sweat. Maybe I’m too exposed to sentient object romance, but this looks like the aftermath of…something.

Did I set out to make a trope-based personality quiz using just Lyonne Riley books as the book recs for them? No. Do I regret that in any way? Hell, no‼️

I live for this kind of historical lore.
spockderangementsyndrome Follow Feb 19 I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names. spockderangementsyndrome Feb 20 Salute to our troops (70s careerwomen who put their hard-earned dollars into homemade gay erotica) mrsmarymorstan Follow Apr 15 ... It was women with secretarial jobs doing a lot of the heavy lifting, if memory serves correctly. They had training in type setting, could churn things out quickly, knew how to organise mailing lists, and had easy access to Expensive High Tech like photocopiers. Boss make a dollar, she makes a dime. That's why she's printing Kirk X Spock zines on company time.

Monster Meet-Cute: Q&A with Author Emma Elizabeth Subverting Power Dynamics and Exuding Queer Joy, Step into Her World I love to mess around with expected power dynamics and subvert them; giving characters that you might assume something about a surprising set of preferences or characteristics is so fun!

The past week of unique alt-right nonsense over monster smut made me saltier than a bag of fish and chips. So I did what many people do in my position. I wrote about it 😈

I am so proud of my little book community for bothering the alt-right grifters like Evie Magazine. Go drink a cup of warm milk at the Phyllis Schlafly cafe and cry about it some more! 😘
This popular title revolves around a stressed-out, in-debt Millennial woman who takes up a job that involves milking anthropomorphic bulls'... cocks. In other words, jerking them off to collect their semen. One massive bull, complete with horns and hooves, becomes her romantic interest. With 50,000 enthusiastic reviews, it's hardly fringe. Monsters, demons, dragons—anything but a man—are fueling female fantasies these days. And it’s not a quirky kink anymore; it's mainstream female desire in 2025. To be crystal clear: this is about non-human, beastly eroticism, celebrated as love stories. Can we not “normalize” this?

Tentacle erotica is older than your grandma’s china set and probably just as treasured.

I’ve updated and expanded one of my favorite Field Guide entries: Tentacles.
