Silly me. You asked what I presumed was a serious question and I
mistakenly gave a serious answer. I'm relatively new here and I'm not
familiar with some of the personalities on the board. Sorry.

Right or wrong it sounds like your mind is made up. I would like to read
some of your erotica that
relies on the character and not description to
sell the erotic nature of the story. Right now I'm not sure how well
that would work, but my opinion can be swayed and I'm game to reading
anything you want to send my way that illustrates your position.
I could cite several instances where stories were big sellers and the
characters were flat with no real depth. They exist and they have sold.
I'm not saying that makes them "good" stories or something that I care to
read. I'm simply responding to your comment,
"IMHO you MUST have

Sorry, I'm being serious again.
Caveat: See 'em play before you swallow what they say.
