Character:Corvid Rasp

Game: Once more, with feeling!.

Character Name: Corvid Rasp
Caste: No Moon Caste, Tattooed Lunar Exalted
Concept: Wandering Sorcerer

Motivation

• To drive the enemies of Creation back into their own realms.

The whole ertoica vs. ertoic romance distinction is tricky (not even getting into terms like smut or porn). And you're right that if something doesn't have an HEA or HFN, then it is not a romance. But ertoica is so much more than "not HEA". Erotica is about a sexual journey, and that's why I disagree with your statement that "Erotica is all about the sex and not about the heart." A sexual journey (that yes, has a character arc and growth) has quite a bit to do with the heart and emotions. I have no problem with a "fuck book" or "masturbatory material" but that's not really what the ertoica genre is about. Some of this is semantics, I know, and you did define your terms, but if there's only room in your terminology for straight romance or masturbatory material, then where does a powerful story of discovery with a bittersweet ending go (of which there are many examples) go?
