Erotic Science Fiction and the craft of writing
I’m preparing a series of posting about how I use a character template to help me create and manage characters in my writing.

In my last post, I was less than satisfied with the motivations and background generated by the model for the female elf in the story. It felt like it drew on too many cliche’s common to the fantasy genre. The next prompt is a direction to expand on a specific paragraph from the previous output:Continue reading “GAI & the creative process (part 4)”
Continuing on from my last post, let’s see what other ideas can be mined from my GAI session. Continuing to the next prompt: Why does Roran seek a financial gain from his efforts? How does it compete with his sense of adventure and curiosity? Once again, since I’m still in the same chat-session, the modelContinue reading “GAI & the creative process (part 3)”
Continuing on from my last post, let’s see if we can modify the prompt provided to my model to generate better content or provide additional ideas for exploring in the story.

I’ve explained why I choose to write Erotic Science Fiction and have shared other author’s examples in the genre. My last post explored the types of conflict that can engage readers as well. I’ve recently spent many hours reformatting the three books of “A New Past” to provide readers with the option of having aContinue reading “Should I? A question for readers of “A New Past””
It’s easy to make assumptions about erotic science fiction. Some people equate it to porn. Others find it a stimulating experiment in free thinking. I try to treat it as a niche expansion of science fiction, focused on realist characters who have different passions, urges and desires. One thing I believe regardless of story-telling genre is the need forContinue reading “Conflicts in Erotic Science Fiction”
In the world of erotic science fiction, technology’s integration into our lives often leads to profound changes in the way humans interact with each other. These advanced innovations challenge traditional notions of love, desire, consent, and power dynamics while also offering unique opportunities for enhancing and deepening human connections. Let’s explore how human interaction shiftsContinue reading “Beyond Human Limits: How Advanced Technology Reshapes and Enhances Interpersonal Relationships in Erotic Science Fiction”
