Not Quite Writer’s Block

I’ve been working on and off on a new manuscript for the last week or so. While I know what I want from it, it doesn’t really seem to be tying together all that well. Normally, I would throw away what I’ve done to now and start over.
I might still end up doing that, but for now I’ll put it aside and work on some of the other proto-scripts that are floating around in my mind.
With the backlog of stories with my editor at the moment, I have some time to work out the kinks (or work in the kink) for the other stories I’m looking at writing.
Another thing that has crossed my mind recently is as a result of the increasing numbers of fans and readers that I’ve been attracting, something I am very thankful and grateful for.
What has crossed my mind is what I should be referring to my group of readers as. The term “smutketeers” came to mind, but it apparently is already being used by a collective of other erotica authors, so I probably should avoid using it.
The other term that has stuck in my mind is “harem”. “Xavier’s Harem” has an interesting ring to it and, given the overwhelming female readership, it could work. I’m just not so sure whether it has any negative connotations that other people would find insensitive or any cultural taboo associated with the term.
It’s certainly a unique way of interacting with my readers and fans and, done with the right sense of humour, should make for a fun group for my readers to belong to.
