You know, so people could read it and get a sense of what I write. I like 'Kaily romance' though. Has a nice ring to it :). <br />Shelley - yes, I like Romantica as well. Pity someone thought of it first! Modern Themes with Steam. I like it!<br />Rula - it's funny you mention context. I was reading an article yesterday that actually used the word 'romance' to refer to something that was an illusion. As if anything romantic would not be real. You've given me some ideas (and another half page of options)!<br />Cari - yes, it's not edgy enough! Exactly! I think we're kinda in the same boat. Regardless, I'll have something next week and it will likely not cover everything I write now or in the future.Kaily Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986029808181756915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387503191764027020.post-75826475966314010612010-02-24T22:48:16.900-05:002010-02-24T22:48:16.900-05:00I know exactly what you mean, Kaily.

It's so tough to find a tag that covers everything. Mine certainly doesn't cover everything I write - not all my stories end with love, though usually the characters are headed there. <br /><br />Hope you find something that works for you!Cari Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06581235338272282124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387503191764027020.post-8866367600032800452010-02-24T14:04:09.050-05:002010-02-24T14:04:09.050-05:00I guess the conotation can also depend on the cont...I guess the conotation can also depend on the context in which the word is used. For eg. 'Romance from the heart' vs 'Steamy Romance'. Maybe you could use the word 'love' and mix it with a word that's more sexy or modern. Remember 'Love American Style'? You could use your own take on that and play with words.Rula Sinarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703015110251843280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387503191764027020.post-42127092206488040232010-02-24T13:51:53.648-05:002010-02-24T13:51:53.648-05:00Romance does have a hearts and flower connotation,...Romance does have a hearts and flower connotation, doesn't it? Erotica isn't quite right either in my opinion. I really like EC's Romantica, which is trademarked. Maybe you need something like "Modern Themes with Steam!"Shelley Munrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03090469550227550713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387503191764027020.post-18076990711115635842010-02-24T13:08:25.699-05:002010-02-24T13:08:25.699-05:00Well, you could call it erotica... or... you could...Well, you could call it erotica... or... you could just say, it's Kaily romance. I mean, does it have to have a name? Sometiems I read stuff and I think, gee, this is hot, but it's not romantic, but the author firmly believes it is romantic. Its all up for interpretation.<br /><br />Then again, you could just say, this is MY WRITING. That sums it up. It's what you write and unique. And I rather like what you write... got my interest.Wendi Zwaduk and Megan Slayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01583513293847035769noreply@blogger.com
