Welcome to Eroticature! This is a universal erotica Open Setting.

What is an Open Setting? Open Settings allow for anyone to reuse fictional characters, places and other elements of a setting. See the license for details, or ask User:Curtiskingsmith.

Why use it? See the Theonosis FAQ for general reasons that apply to any kind of fiction. In short, collaborative and open worldbuilding enables independent authors and publishers to work together to promote their works and find new audiences.

Why use it for erotica?

• Because it enables you to use this wiki, with which you can organize your erotica around highly targeted niches, helping you and other authors who target that niche to grow, share and expand on your audiences.
• Because there are Tumblr blogs which promote Eroticature works and have a substantial number of viewers. Any Eroticature work may be exposed to large audiences in this way.
• Because organizing erotica around erotic concepts, settings and conceits (see below) makes searching for erotica more memorable and almost as sexy as reading it, making audiences likelier to continue finding new works this way.
• Because any Eroticature author who pays for advertising may directly or indirectly lead audiences to this website, bringing new readers to others who post their works here.
• Because archetypes are powerful. Eroticature is built around projects and archetypes that elevate and amplify simple ideas. For example, lots of men find "hot young college women" sexy, and you can write a story built around that attraction, and you might find an audience. But if a dozen authors write about the same hot young college woman, a perky blonde from Nebraska named Kelly, she becomes much more erotic -- even if those stories are not consistent in their depictions of Kelly, she will become more attractive, more compelling and more memorable in readers' minds.
