Speak Its Name has issued a rebuttal to the ERWA column Turns ons and Squicks which I mentioned in my last post. Thank you gehayi. You are calm and eloquent whereas I always end up sounding like Donald Duck in a temper.

It was torrential rain this morning, real summer storm stuff. Lucius appeared looking like something out of Lolcats. I wish I'd had my camera. I've never seen a cat so wet that hadn't been in a bath!  Of course landing on mother and rubbing his hideous wet self all over me was the obvious solution - until he got offended because I was laughing so hard.

Happy birthday reddwarfer!  Have a great day.

Today I will be mostly writing Frost Fair as it's due today.  I'm nearly done, couple of thousand words to go, but it'll get done.  I won't be available to chat until finished, but email me or reply here and keep me entertained!!

I think what surprised me the most about the column you refer to was the assertion that "There seems to be no corresponding genre of f/f erotic romance written by men."

Perhaps not in the world of full-length fiction, but it seems to me that most of the f/f erotic material out there (photography, film, video, webcam, etc.) was made by men, for men. Just look on the web: most of the so-called "lesbian porn" material out there is aimed directly at heterosexual men. I think it's clear that men prefer seeing "erotic romance" rather than reading about it. And given the sales demographics of romance novels generally, that's not surprising. Aren't the vast majority of romance readers women?
