Just popping in to do an intro on the new forums!

I primarily write horror and erotica, though that doesn’t mean I don’t delve into other material as well. Though I write mostly outside of the furry fandom, I have a number of works that are being published this and next year within the fandom and have a currently published piece in ‘Will of the Alpha’ by FurPlanet. I am also the head editor for FurPlanet’s ‘Abandoned Places’ horror anthology, slated for release in 2014.

I am also one of the members of Fangs And Fonts, a writing podcast centered around furry material. If you are curious, you can find it on Twitter @fangsandfonts or iTunes under (you guessed it) Fangs and Fonts.

Wait. Horror and erotica in the same story? Or just one then the other?

#3

Hello!

#4

It depends. Generally apart, but for things like my story in ‘Fifty Shades of Decay’ and a couple of my upcoming furry pieces, I combine the two fairly well.

#5

Welcome! I’ll get to adding you to the proper group when I get home from work.

Horror + Erotica? Something I’ve seen before though not very well done. Definitely intrigued.

#6

Interesting. I always thought that the goal of horror was to make people uncomfortable, whereas erotica requires a comfortable state of mind to enjoy. I suppose it all depends on your taste and how you approach both genres.

#7

Well, if you look at a lot of horror films, there are plenty of moments where they try to arouse the viewer. It makes them let their mental guards down so that the scares are that much harder.

Pulling off a successful erotic-horror is fairly hard to do, and there are a few stories that will be coming out this and next year that I think I handled it well. But generally I write the two on their own and try not to mix too often.

Good to see you here! And glad to get the update on Abandoned Places.

I started brainstorming a story for that one but never finished the piece (story of my life recently). I hope to be able to check out the finished anthology, and maybe it will sell well enough for a second volume! LOL

Nice to see another horror aficionado here too…
