And how does that definition shift when we talk about monster romance? In this episode, we’re tackling the age-old question: What defines smut? We’ll explore everything from spice levels to the line between romance and erotica, plus what non-explicit factors make a book sexy.

EJ, Stacy, and Amy have more bookish thoughts on their noggins, and this is a HEFTY ONE. No, we’re not turning into a tech podcast, but there is no denying AI is here, and it is a part of our world. We’re talking about a lot of different topics that are developing and diving into the technological, economic, ethical, and legal sides of AI and how it pertains to the indie romance world. Many currently available AI tools are not great, but you may be surprised to learn why we think so. Links to some of the many random things we mention: That one tweet Stacy mentioned: https://x.com/ioana_nsfw_art/status/1784169462117151189 A Paper on Cyberpunk and Late Stage Capitalism (So it isn’t just something that comes out of EJ’s mouth, and you have just to take it): https://ideas.repec.org/a/lum/jsmijo/v2y2020i1p63-74.html Tiffany Roberts’ Infinite City Series: https://www.authortiffanyroberts.com/theinfinitecity S.

Many of our discussions are aimed at those already in the Monster Romance genre. This one’s got the baby monster f*ckers in mind.

Amy, EJ, and Stacy are back for 2024! And we’ve got more bookish topics on our brains. A hard truth about the book world is that nothing good lasts forever. That also goes for our favorite series and authors. So, let’s unpack that and dig into some of our favorite authors who have left or pivoted.

Tales from the Orc Den
Not every book is for everyone. The trick to being a happy reader is knowing and accepting your limits. In this episode Amy, EJ , and Stacy talk about navigating content warnings and personal limits as readers and content consumers in general. Part of this was instigated by two well-written articles from Bookriot.com and Tor.com , which are linked below. It is a generally common issue though for a lot of the Internet community to not look after their needs and behave responsibly. That’s not okay. So let’s talk about it! Stuff We Mention On Dead Dogs and Other Reading Dealbreakers by Molly Templeton ( https://www.tor.com/2023/10/05/on-dead-dogs-and-other-reading-dealbreakers/ ) The Importance of Knowing And Sticking to Your Own Bookish Limits by P.

Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedWe talk about explicit sh*t on this podcast. We got the cute little explicit mark on every episode and everything! You could say we’re pretty knowledgeable about racy stuff in books. So that means we all three can appreciate the difference between spicy erotic orc dick written by and for mature adults and educational nonfiction material created with young people in mind. Not everyone can though. This Book Panic has come across our radar enough and affects us just enough that we’re devoting a whole dang episode to it. Apologies for the lack of smut in this episode. More is coming! We’re calling this our “special episode” Warnings for this episode include discussions about sexuality shaming, racism, and sexual abuse. Do not feel obligated to listen if you are not in a mental space to do so. Quick update! There are Texans fighting this trend!

Stacy has the main mic for this episode to tell Amy and Liz about Mate for the Alien P*rn Star by Alexis B. Osborne. This is, by far, one of the most unique books we've gotten to talk about and has been referenced in many podcast episodes in the past. Osborne is also a world weaver so Mate for the Alien P*rn Star is but a gateway to a huge, rich world for readers. Books Mentioned: Claimed among the Stars Anthology: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/59017667 Outer Limits Quadrant Series (called the Engineering Fate Trilogy in the podcast) by Alexis B. Osbourne: https://www.goodreads.com/series/324114-outer-limits-quadrant Music is called "Undead Bride" by Pagefire https://soundcloud.com/nerdymetalhead202/undead-bride…
It's time for Stacy and Liz to hear Amy talk about The Blooded Labyrinth by S.J. Sanders. If we had a podcast bingo card, then referencing Sanders would get a guaranteed box. This book first appeared in the first volume of the Monsters in Love Anthologies. It is also part of a universe of stories Sanders has been publishing. So yes, we’re going down a rabbit hole. And we’re taking you with us! Books Mentioned: The Blooded Labyrinth by S.J. Sanders: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62193829-blooded-labyrinth The second volume of the Monsters in Love Anthology: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59604311-monsters-in-love-vol-1 His Darkest Craving by Tiffany Roberts: https://www.authortiffanyroberts.com/thecursedones The Unicorn’s Mare by S.J.

Let’s get into our first “book report” to talk about The Dalwick Demon by Ashley Bennett and the book it first appeared in, the second volume of the Monsters in Love Anthology. EJ explains why The Dalwick Demon stood out for her. Amy and Stacy then join her in discussing the significance of The Dalwick Demon and the Monsters in Love anthologies to the Monster Romance genre. We also have a small art critic corner because it is easy to go from talking about your favorite indie authors to your favorite indie artists. Books Mentioned: The Dalwick Demon: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/75616492-the-dalwick-demon The second volume of the Monsters in Love Anthology: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60691119-monsters-in-love-vol-2 One Night in Garoureve: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59046578-one-night-in-garoureve Supra Velum: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/170023250-supra-velum Yearning for Her: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/91921340-yearning-for-her Visual Artists Mentioned: Atnomen (ilustrAriane) : https://www.patreon.com/ilustrariane Bonky: https://www.patreon.com/bonky Music is called "Undead Bride" by Pagefire https://soundcloud.com/nerdymetalhead202/undead-bride…
Amy, Stacy, and EJ are here to guide you monster lovers to one of the cheapest, easiest, and most fun ways to expand your list of favorite authors. If you haven't gotten into Anthologies, you must hear us talk about them. This episode ends on a cliffhanger! This is just episode 1 of 4 because we will talk about our favorite former anthology stories that have become standalone books. That's right. What starts as a story sketch in one anthology can become your next shelf trophy. Music is called "Undead Bride" by Pagefire https://soundcloud.com/nerdymetalhead202/undead-bride…
About halfway through our super long previous, Amy, Liz, and Stacy found themselves on a long and gratuitous rant about orc culture. Here it is! We talk about our hypothetical fashion and jobs on the mountain. We had a fun and silly time while going a bit off topic from Beauty so here is a bit of bonus content from what was originally a WHOLE AFTERNOON just talking about Finley Fenn's world.
