On first thought I would think this is BS but alas, I had this happen too, found it hilarious. She sucked my dick after, got a wee bit high too from the remaining lube on it. Good times.

Super late to the party, but most of my more pressing questions have been asked by others already anyway. Still got two more, sorry if they have already been answered and I just didn't see them:

1) How has your copywriting/editing influenced your fiction or vice versa?

I actually started writing (PG-13) fiction long before I went into marketing but I found that there's a sort of synergy in both directions, writing fiction makes me more creative in my copy and writing copy gives me the tools to really play with my fiction readers' mind and emotions if the need arises. I'm sure I'm not the only one but I'd like your take on it.

2) Have you ever done commission smut before going pro? Or do you still, for the right price?

I did that as a side hustle for a while (give me two or more characters either established IP, your OC or as a general concept, a setting and a rough outline of your kinks and I'll make it happen lmao), but it devolved into basically researching super niche fetishes for hours for much less pay than it was worth to me all things considered, so I stopped eventually. But it was stupid fun, really shows you what makes people tick, especially if you don't kinkshame besides a couple obvious hard limits.

Yeah that's about it. Glad you're doing this (will also read previous AmAs later), your actual work is not my cup of tea but it's objectively splendid and beautifully written, and your story of how you made it as a full time erotica writer is inspiring and motivating!

Thanks for the detailed answer!

And yes, as a friend put it, "copywriting is nice, freelancing is nice, freelance copywriting is fucking torture". I used to do lots of salaried work at a big marketing firm and while that sucks for a vast amount of other reasons, now that I freelance I still can profit off of some feet in several doors I had back then. Still sucks though, just manageably so.

Glad to hear the commission part, makes me instantly feel less weird. Funnily enough, getting work wasn't that hard for me, I just threw my name around in some related online circles (RP sites, notes of huge smut tumblrs, some forums and whatnot) and boom. But yes, some customers are much too picky, demanding and self-righteous for their own good and I couldn't just slap a +40% asshole tax on a pre-agreed price (of often low double digits to begin with) lmao.

Made a friend through the smut writing that I still talk to occasionally though (not about smut) so that was at least worth it.

Thanks again and have a nice day!
