Punk rock died when the first kid said ‘Punk’s not dead, punk’s not dead’ – The Silver Jews, ‘Tennessee’
Well punk rock may be dead, but SmutPunk is very much alive and it’s ready to kick your teeth in and implode your mind.
And if you’re not careful, it will awesomesauce all over you.
In much the same way that pop has bastardized music, the erotica genre has begun to become overrun with the equivalent of prefabricated boy bands. It’s full of formulaic content and rampant with emulators trying to capture the success of predecessors by imitating their work. Erotica is not a fucking formula:
Billionaire Asshole + Naive Virgin ≠ Good Erotica
It’s not even a guarantee of instant success. So knock it the fuck off.
This is what SmutPunk says.
Stop being an asshole. Stop being an unoriginal hack. Stop listening to what the masses or the corporate wankjobs are telling you to write when they try to force you into these silly, narrow little book categories and genres. Stop writing shit somebody else wrote before and did a better job of writing just so you can jerk off to a fat pay check and buy designer labels to lord over your frenemies.
Be brave. Be edgy. Take no fucking prisoners! Give no fucks about what others might think. Write exactly what you want, how you want to write it and never fucking apologize for your writing. Break the damn rules because they don’t fucking apply to your creative genius. Make the world bend to fit you. Stop being a mother fucking sheep. Effect change. Be the solution. Be at the forefront of the new Erotica Revolution. Become the evolution of erotic literature.
SmutPunk – get with the fucking program, or get left behind with the rest of the squareholes.

Great approach and fun to read!
Glad u liked!
I nail things with words for a living (Bwahahahaaa)
You just nailed it, Kat! ;-)
If I ever write about a ‘billionaire asshole and a naive virgin’, you have my permission to pull the plug…but make it quick Great post, Kat!!
at the risk of ruining my own message, LOL, if you ever write a billionaire asshole + naive virgin erotica it will probably still be awesome – it doesn’t necessarily make for a bad story. i’m just sick of people picking that story line for the wrong reasons and doing a shite job at it ;~)
Keep telling it like it is, Kat!!
Awesomesauce!!
I’m a firm believer in writing what you want to write. Some of my shit might be popular smut, but I wrote it because I wanted to.
ultimately, no one remembers the ones who played it safe and colored inside of the lines anyway
OMG Kat,
This is a call to arms for all those who truly have something to write about; all the genuine creatives to write because they must.
Fantastic piece!
I’m always writing want I want. I don’t like people telling me what to do. Most often I can’t find a category that will work for the stuff I write. Does this mean I’ve been writing SmutPunk all along? I ooze awesomesauce!
fuck it all man and be your own news cycle!! Peace.
love idea of smutpunk. Keep it up!
Hell, yeah! I’ll see your message and raise you my manifesto! (Click my name to see it, then read my posts to get off. I think you’ll like my anti-billionaire post…)
Awesome. I think I’ve been writing smutpunk for years without knowing it!
Rock on!
You most certainly have been, Roxy! You have been one of my great inspirations!
