Zoe Williams' article highlights the distinction between romance and erotica, emphasizing that true enjoyment of smut hinges on strong character development and compelling storytelling.
At 54, I discovered the thrilling world of smut through Sarah J. Maas's work. Unlike clunky narratives like Fifty Shades of Grey, Maas’s character-driven approach left me fully engaged.
The portrayal of character dynamics and intense plotting in Maas's work fosters a deep emotional connection, making the intimate scenes more enjoyable, a critical differentiator from other works.
I feel that a focus on female perspectives in writing erotic fiction enriches the genre, as it combines great character arcs with satisfying explorations of sexuality that resonate with readers.
