I remember when I first heard the term on a talk show featuring FSofG, I nearly screamed. One of the things I try to do is educate non-romance readers about romance being a true genre of literature with talented authors, and amazing stories so to have it demeaned by such an inane literature wannabe like FSofG just infuriates me. <br />Thanks for coming by and I'm so glad you enjoyed the blog. I hope you'll visit often. I do try to bring my readers the best of the genre. :-)Amy Valentinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10725078863607000204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955342718286093722.post-33772148208806153642013-08-27T19:47:11.175-04:002013-08-27T19:47:11.175-04:00Nice blog!

It's a pretty offensive term to me as a mother and erotic romance author, and I think it's ridiculouslly inaccurate because I suspect Fifty Shades original fan base were women in their late teens, who liked Twilight and Fan Fiction, and loved that the book was about a college age girl. Not mothers.

I've read some scenes that read like transcripts of porn movies, whereas some "regular" romance novels can have some incredibly hot, erotic scenes much more moving without naming body parts and including graphic detail. Eroticism is so much more than dirty words and actions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
