I posed this question on twitter and got no answer (@scarlettralgee for the curious) so I'm posting it here, in a rambling way. I'm working on two short stories that I plan on publishing as ebooks. ("Short" is a relative term right now; I don't plan on either of them being novels.) Both are horror and involve sex. Possibly a lot of sex. With detail. So: to pseudonym, or not to pseudonym? I've done a few writing exercises over the past year with a friend of mine critiquing, trying to sort of polish myself up for publishing and make myself write longer and longer things (because someday I want a dead-tree book with my name on it). Her response was basically "cut out the stuff with sex or gay people because you're gonna hurt your brand", which confuses the hell out of me because I AM my brand -.- I understand using a pseudonym for erotica because you don't want your family/boss/whatever to find out about it, but at the same time...okay yeah, my mom would freak at the idea of me writing porn, but I had a ficlet published last year in Cthulhu Haiku and I've got four pieces coming out this year in Cthulhu Haiku II, and that's all horror and not erotica but it's all got my real name on it and and and. I just feel like if I'm mature enough to write it, I ought to be mature enough to put my own name on it. Otherwise it sort of feels like I'm ashamed of it.
