Tips? Recs?
I have something in the pipeline (like a Lovecraftian Black Lace) and I want to know if there are any particular elements that should be present. Is gore a turn-off for people? Is it expected within the genre?

And if anyone can recommend me any reading material, thanks in advance

Not a bad guide, fairly basic, thanks. I was aware of all of that, but was looking to see if there was anything extra I didn't know. I guess not. I assume I'm good to go with the gore.
And yeah thank you K5 for your contribution there....:sick:

I dabble in erotic horror but haven't published any of it- my current series (Katabasis) has erotic horror elements, but that's alongside other plot threads and there's no actual smut, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I've done research into fearplay (the BDSM kind) for some unpublished shorts, so you might find that useful as well.

As far as gore goes, personally I'm a fan! It's hard to find good erotic-horror-gore content.

Go for gap moe, and you can turn everything into an erotic horror (I think?).

You can describe a cute girl lovingly dragging out your intestines one by one, and you've everything you need.

Seriously tho, I'm not an expert on any of it, but as a reader I'd say some gore is a must in an erotic horror. It's like... it's unrealistic if you have an erotic horror without gore, I think? It's like a swordfight without a single drop of blood being spilled (no sword jokes please). There is just something lacking in it, and it can be fine in certain circumstances, but it gets unrealistic and sketched if it's repeated.

I'm currently writing a fantasy/horror/furry thing with erotica in it if that counts.

Speaking of which, are there any rules here against furry content?

Furry isn't popular here but there aren't rules against it. I've seen a few other furry writers around, plus my series is heavily furry-adjacent and hasn't been taken down

Ai-chan is writing an erotic horror story by the title of In The Service of Evil. The protagonist is a woman who gets a job as a maid to a dashing man who never seems to leave the house. As the story goes, she gets used by the master of the house as well as his guests. The master of the house is actually the projection of an eldritch horror. Ai-chan can't tell you how to write it, as Ai-chan too is experimenting, but Ai-chan can tell you how Ai-chan is doing it.

Ai-chan wrote her as a chaste girl, barely past her first job after college and desperate enough to escape homelessness. Lord Gorm (his actual name is not for human tongue) saw the vulnerability in her and also her strong will which he considers would be either an asset or a fun challenge. He slowly seduces her, telling her to do erotic stuff that could be just harmless innocent fun and pushes it further and further, taking a step back just as he is about to reach her limit, but never stopping. Eventually, the bad things she wouldn't even think of doing at the beginning of her employment felt natural to her, to the point that her sister remarked that she had become so different.

Also she needs to drink his cum to power her magic, the lack of it makes her powers that she acquired from him weaker.

There are a lot of taboos such as orgies, lesbianity, incest, torture, beastiality and humiliation that she will endure, but it is all done step by step the way Ai-chan likes it. Or more like Ai-chan fantasizes about, but never managed to find someone to do to Ai-chan. Yes, this is a wet dream, but it's also a power trip because she eventually gets identified as the actual evil (The Blood-stenched Maid) because the forces of good never saw the real evil.

well there's actually less gore than I'd anticipated so...well I hope I don't cross any major lines but the reader ought to know what they're reading and if they're triggered, then they're triggered I guess.
