We like it hot and sexy! |
Ellora’s Cave EXOTIKA Ellora's Cave launched a line of erotica stories in December 2006. Guidelines: ~ 10K to 120K word count ~ Any genre (except f/f) ~ Must be very hot E-rated or X-rated ((((((((((S – ENSUOUS E – ROTIC X - TREME Ellora’s Cave Publishing offers three levels of Romantica® reading entertainment: S (S-ensuous), E (E-rotic), and X (X-treme). S-ensuous love scenes are explicit and leave nothing to the imagination. E-rotic love scenes are explicit, leave nothing to the imagination, and are high in volume per the overall word count. E-rated titles might contain material that some readers find objectionable—in other words, almost anything goes, sexually. E-rated titles are the most graphic titles we carry in terms of both sexual language and descriptiveness in these works of literature. X-treme titles differ from E-rated titles only in plot premise and storyline execution. Stories designated with the letter X tend to contain difficult or controversial subject matter not for the faint of heart.)))))))))) ~ Doesn't have to be a "romance"—that is, the story does not have to focus on the development of a romantic relationship, hero and heroine don't have to be sexually faithful to each other, does not need a committed HEA ending. The focus is on the sexual relationship and activities. ~ Sexual content follows the same rules as EC. We may be willing to stretch a bit further—but hey, we already go almost to the limit with EC erotic romances. Same taboo list: no pedophilia, incest, necrophilia, bodily functions. Our market segment and our primarily female audience want quality erotica, not violence or extreme kink. Definitely no porn. ~ Must be well-written and with a well-developed plot and characterization! When submitting, put “Exotika Submission: title” in the email message subject line.
