Mature Audiences...Sex, the Whole thing...
I don't want to get caught up in this...
But, I feel MA bloggers are discriminated against. If so, why? Get real, as they say. People pay extra for MA crap. And here at BN, it's hidden behind closed "Everything Else." It's not "Everything Else" it's porn or near porn in many cases, sure, but still deserves to be right up there in its own category: Click "Mature Audience" and get "Mature Audience." No other category goes through this double dealing. I have three blogs in MA: The Cure of Sexual Obsession, WhiteNotes From the Front, and Sex and Other Subjects. I have two blogs that you don't have to go through "Everything Else" to read: Poet in, and OutofMyMind...and Times. So let's get a category for "Mature Audiences," where you can get to that category by just clicking "Mature Audiences." Is it asking too much? I may be stupid, but when the powers that be switched my blogs to MA, I had a hard time finding them.
As for my thought about those who consider themselves serious about writing, I would suggest a separate heading, where voluntarily, bloggers could list their output under Serious Writers. In other words, a "Serious Writers" category. It hasn't been done, far as I know anywhere on the web.
Finally, I, like everyone else, have a motive for writing: mine is to get my books out there, to a few readers, and ultimately, sell a few. I will soon be posting a way to buy The Cure of Sexual Obsession. I know a lot of you "Everything Else, Mature Audience," double clickers will find it helpful.
