==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?

-It may be a neat experience unesls you live nearby.  They are not always  silent'.  Quite often they fly around by the hundreds making a horrible CAH, CAH, CAH, CAH, CAH !!!!  Not a pleasant way to wake up in the morning.  There are no more songbirds around   frightened off I suppose.  The crows do not only perch in the trees, they use rooftops also.  Hundreds at a time will blacken a rooftop of the houses near Nose Hill, leaving their excrement all over.  They will ravage open garbage bags.  They scare small children.  They may be a wonder to those passing through, but they are a nuisance to those who live nearby.
