    As opposed to porn?

    Yeah I guess written porn is classed as erotica? Is that correct?

    Can I write a Chases and Farula fanfiction? 

    In all seriousness, romance is cool as long as it is done right and subtle enough to NOT make it straight up porn.

    According to Psychology Today :

    " unlike pornography, it (erotica) doesn't appeal exclusively to our senses or carnal appetites. It also engages our aesthetic sense, our judgment about how this or that figure illustrates an ideal of human beauty...

    Sounds about right to me!

    Wait a minute - subtle enough to make it straight up porn.
