{{DEFAULTSORT:Brio, Alessia}}
[[category:Authors - B]]
'''Alessia Brio''' is a sassy tart from Pittsburgh who burst (or tip-toed, depending on who you ask) onto the [[erotic romance]] scene in the latter half of 2005 with two [[Electronic Book|e-book]] publications from [[Phaze]]. Until that time, she'd been giving her stuff away on [[Literotica]]. Now, she gratefully accepts money for it. (That, she's aware, is the difference between a ''slut'' and a ''whore''.)

Alessia writes [[erotic romance]], [[erotica]], and poetry both independently and collaboratively (with [[Will Belegon]]). Her entry, ''Memento'', took an honorable mention in [[Desdmona]]’s [http://www.desdmona.com/contestwinners.php?RoomID=37 Stiletto Flash Contest] & ''Butterfly'' did the same in the Titillating Tattoo Contest. She received nominations as [[Literotica]]’s Most Influential Poet of 2004 and Most Influential Writer of 2005 & 2006 under the oh-so-humble pseudonym ''impressive''.

As a participant in the philanthropic publishing venture [[Coming Together]], Alessia has helped to raise money for organizations that protect our online freedoms of expression.

When she's not writing or ''researching'', Ms. Brio is performing her domestic duties as a work-from-home mom, kicking ass (or kissing it) as a civil rights advocate/activist, or wasting time on the Internet. She is addicted to SuDoku, rare steak, and sex (not necessarily in that order).

Talk:Literotica

Alessia Brio:

If you click on this site, there is a bunch of free fiction; but also photos/videos and a lot of other "adult" content that is...more porn than romance, in my opinion. I don't have a problem with this site in particular staying on the wiki (it DOES have a lot of fiction), but it does make me think that maybe we should draw up Romance/Erotica vs. XXX Slut Porn guideline to preserve the focus of the wiki and prevent actual no-words-involved pornsters from promoting their sites here. This site tests my "acceptable limit," and one can presume that as word spreads, it's only going to get worse. --[[User:Robini|Robini]] 10:43, 24 November 2007 (PST)
: Raised the issue of permissions at [[RomanceWiki talk:Policies]]. --[[User:Robini|Robini]] 10:58, 24 November 2007 (PST)

I agree that there is a great deal of non-romance adult material available via Literotica. However, there IS an extensive Romance category of erotic fiction that is highly trafficked and contains some good stuff. Similarly, the Novels & Novellas category contains a great deal of material.

Lastly, the Author's Hangout (forum) is a wonderful writers resource. Many of its denizens have gone on to become published erotic romance authors, self included.

Perhaps it would suffice to put a disclaimer on the entry that only a fraction of the material on the site is romance related.

peace & passion,

~ Alessia

Will Belegon

2006-04-01T00:44:26Z

Alessia Brio:

'''Will Belegon''' is in his element as an author of [[erotic romance]]. It combines his love of moonlit beaches and first kisses with his passion for steamy sex and wraps them all up in a collection of words that conjure the most delicious imagery. (The attentions of the predominantly female readership had absolutely nothing to do with Will’s desire to write for the genre. *wink*)

In addition to [[erotic romance]], Will writes both poetry and [[erotica]], some of which can be found at [[Literotica]] where his story ''Wingman'' received an award for the Best Erotic Couplings Story of 2004. His character of MacCailein Mor in ''The Interrogation'' (also at [[Literotica]]) was nominated as the Sexiest Male Character for 2005.

Will has teamed up with [[Alessia Brio]] on several collaborations, including ''Switch'' ([[Phaze]], 2006) and ''Artistically Inclined'' ([[Venus Press]], 2006), with more being planned. He is an active contributor to the [[Coming Together]] anthology series, the proceeds of which are donated to charitable and free speech organizations. Plus, he pens custom [[erotica]] and poetry through [[Literary Metro]].

Alessia Brio:

'''Alessia Brio''' is a sassy tart from Pittsburgh who burst (or tip-toed, depending on who you ask) onto the erotic romance scene in the latter half of 2005 with two [[e-book]] publications from [[Phaze]]. Until that time, she'd been giving her stuff away on [[Literotica]]. Now, she gratefully accepts money for it. (That, she's aware, is the difference between a ''slut'' and a ''whore''.)

When she's not writing or ''researching'', Ms. Brio is performing her domestic duties as a work-from-home mom, kicking ass (or kissing it) as a civil rights advocate/activist, or wasting time on the Internet.

Fans, potential fans, and cyber-stalkers can Google for more about this exciting, charismatic, and humble author.
