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)

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 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.
