Random musing

Have an erotic piece I'm pondering posting. I don't really want to get an audience just because I write porn, it's always seemed awfully cheap... And I tend to write adult stuff that involves my personal characters, so letting strangers see them in their most personal moments has always seemed a bit off-putting to me. I dunno, I'm still deciding.
I do think it's kind of weird that the absolutely most pornographic piece I've ever posted here, which would be outright smut if it didn't fit into a larger plot, has nearly the fewest views of anything in my entire gallery. That's a bit baffling. It really makes me wonder what happened there, and why nobody's looked at it.
I really will never understand what's popular and what's not. It's pretty darn illogical. A lot of the stuff I think isn't my best gets oodles of attention, while stuff I love to death gets ignored, and now this with the porn getting ignored... dunno. You guys on FA are weird. :D

FA+

I will admit. I not only enjoy editing furrotica, I enjoy reading it. However, you only have to look at the reason I have an account here. Horror Vale. That story has not got the authors usual following, probably due to its extreme content.
Another author that I help, is the opposite, and writes teen gay furr fiction. Now he has 3 complete stories to his name. 2 very explicit at around 30,000 words, which had good followings, but nothing spectacular. The 3rd which is just complete topped out at 60,000, but only has 2 sex scenes in it. Yet he had more followers than the other 2 stories put together. I am currently beating the 1st chapter of a 4th into shape for him at the moment.
I would guess that, as with Dragon and Unicorn, which is the only one I have read in full of yours is aimed at a younger audience, the browsers won't have found your furrotica. I haven't yet.
You will find that over time people will associate you with a type of writing, and assume you can't do other diciplines. I loved D+U, and so will start on your others when I have a few minutes here and there.
Don't let none commentators put you off. If you feel happy with how something has come out. Share it. If not, keep it for yourself, but remember a story is not a story, if it is never told!!.
Yours R.o.P.
People are pretty strange (furs included), but I get the impression that it happened like this;
The people interested in the plot were put off by the smut, and the people interested by the smut were put off by the story.
Just a guess though ><
