Been critically eyeing my writing this week while struggling to finish Holly for the Holidays Part Four, and have a question. Do you, as an Erotica reader, feel like I use or re-use descriptive words too often?
When I write TG erotica, I do so from the perspective of a fellow reader. I like to be reminded, frequently, that the transformed character I'm following through a story has (for example) 'long, flowing [color] hair,' or a set of 'big, bountiful breasts.' The repetition of that feminine-form-emphasizing language is a titillating component of what I think makes a story enticing and exciting. It feels very natural for me to write TG erotica very descriptively, and with many enticing adjectives and adverbs, because that's what works for me. Sometimes it gets to be too much, and I go back and take a bunch of things out, and I try to avoid reusing the same words too many times in one paragraph or section, but that's not always avoidable. I feel like the line 'she flipped her hair over her shoulder' is... boring, from an erotica perspective. It would be fine in a piece of normal fiction, but not one that I'm looking to for some titillation. In erotica, I prefer 'she flipped her long, flowing hair over one small, soft feminine shoulder' -- or something like that. It's like dipping your finger in chocolate, I figure, and then licking it clean again. Delicious. Or at least that's how I feel erotica should be. But everyone's tastes differ.
How do you feel?
