Welcome to Brimstone - I'm clinically insane
Hi! I'm Brimstone, 21, an aspiring author, losing my sanity, I'm a gothic enby, a musician-artist...
AND I just started this Tumblr page out of curiosity and desperation, lowkey. I was worried I wouldn't be getting any readers for my current WIP novel, posted endlessly on Wattpad, Inkitt, and every book site I could find, and so far the only support I got was from my ex (we're besties, it's cool🥲)
_UNPOPULAR OPINION_
Are people tired of reading these days? Because I am... I'M TIRED OF READING THE SAME SMUT-FILLED BOOKS WITH NO ACTUAL PLOT, SAME BASIC WHITE PROTAGONIST, BARELY ANY DIVERSITY AND JUST STRAIGHT UP PORN. Don't get me wrong I LOVE smut but these days it's just amateur shit. No plot, no character development just a bunch of people fucking and fighting.
Honestly it just feels like most people (mainly people obsessing over books that are basically just porn you can read) don't actually wanna READ they just wanna NUT. AND IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME TROPE.
I don't hate it. I love the dedication to flicking the bean or rubbing one out. I'm not saying it's a problem, I just wish that the books these days weren't heavily smut-centered. I don't hate the authors, I just don't understand why that's all people really care about when it comes to romance. What happened to meaningful, reverent, slow-burn-books that made you foam at the mouth when there was smut involved? Not excessive, but just the right amount to make you giggle or teehee. These days, I genuinely feel like there aren't any readers who would be interested in my book.
No, seriously. Who would want to read a Dark Fantasy-Queer romance with a demon-vampire professor, dragons, sirens, chupacabra, or shape-shifting fae? The main protagonist might be an unreliable narrator but she's queer and black, relatable...hell most of the characters are more gay than that one English Teacher with a wife and kids. The main MC is basically the black avatar if there ever was one, lmao.
Idk if that's blasphemous but I'm coining it idc
I really want to attract the right audience, but all I seem to attract are other writers looking for readers😭. Is literature dead, guys? Or is it only alive when it's filled with copious amounts of smut?
I'm not judging, I'm just confused.
Went to Ascension Night as a early birthday gift 💜🖤💜🖤
