- dondawest 7y agoI thought Patreon specifically banned erotic content / porn?
- vinceguidry 7y agoThey're playing the game of trying to ban some of it but not all of it. For erotic literature specifically, they're trying to forbid certain genres. It's a weird cat and mouse game and I'm having trouble picking sides.
- vorpalhex 7y agoI'm generally upset at them over their weird ban-not-ban. I can understand they have to deal with credit card processors, etc - but please give the community clear guidelines and don't play the part of the censor.
- vinceguidry 7y agoI'm not certain there's a way out of it. On Quora I've been seeing pedophiles creating accounts with the intent on pushing boundaries. It's pretty disturbing seeing it taken out of a literary context. I don't envy Patreon's task here.
- dondawest 7y agoSuper interesting. Is there anywhere I can find a list of the allowed erotic genres vs the banned genres? Thanks.
- antupis 7y agoRomance novels sell pretty well also consider how much there are low-quality novels in market https://www.citylab.com/life/2018/01/freelancer-gig-economy-tips-for-success-romance-novelist/550631/ https://www.citylab.com/life/2018/01/freelancer-gig-economy-...
- komali2 7y agoYup. Come up with an amusing and obvious penname (Robert Harder, Felatia Organica, that kind of thing), and then start writing stories about people having sex with monsters/bears/dinosaurs. Crazy market for monster erotic literature. If you can find a way to convince furries to pay for your stuff then you've really got a goldmine. They've got tons of free fanfiction to work with though so that might be hard.
