misleading cover

  I don’t understand what they were thinking

  “The Staff: A Different Kind of RPG”, and the picture is a naked minotaur looking down at a topless buff dude.

  You might as well have called it “The Really Big Dick: This Aint For Kids” and had the minotaur’s cock on the dude’s head. That’s the only way it could possibly have been any more suggestive.

  My takeaway here is that there’s apparently a market out there hungry for Minotaur smut.

    There’s a market out there for literally any kind of smut you can think of. It might be a small market, but there will be a market.

      Hell there’s even a market for market based smut where craft markets are having anal sex with farmers markets while simultaneously having illicit affairs with stock markets. Everyone needs a little lovin’.

      There’s a market hungry for smut about literary agents who reject manuscripts for Amazon prime printing being pounded up the butt by their own rejected manuscripts. If you can think it, Doctor Chuck Tingle has written it being pounded up the butt

      And small as it may be, you will get paid better for your minotaur smut than you will for all your non-smut writing combined.

    Look up “ice planet barbarians”. Forgot the author but there are a lot of different kind of barbarians, orcs, demons, etc. That are rough but with a soft spot, protecting the female lead heroically while taking her for themselves.

  This is fantastic. Thanks for posting the reddit link, which has now been edited further:

  EDIT 2: Apparently I also owe an apology to the small (but vocal) contingent who really wanted this to be minotaur smut. I’m doing my part. Now get typing.

  Be the change you want to see in the world.

  And the linked thread is basically a writing competition that the author is hosting with a $100 prize. The title is “Announcing the 2026 Beefhammer Prize For Excellence in Minotaur Erotica”. Lovely!

  It’s cute that he thought “Gay Minotaur Sex” would be a brand new sentence somehow.

  My sweet, sweet summer child…

  • Barrymore@sh.itjust.works ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    No, no, no. The new sentence is that it does NOT have Minotaur sex

    Minotaur Smut

    My motto is if it has a hole or a pole someone wrote about fucking it.

    roll a D8, the result determines the outcome of your conversation:

    1. the minotaur fucks you
    2. you fuck the minotaur
    3. the minotaur attacks you
    4. a trap door opens under you dropping you into a sex dungeon
    5. the minotaur starts crying (you monster)
    6. the minotaur proposes
    7. you trip and accidentally stab the minotaur to death (you monster)
    8. the minotaur fucks you

    I’d play the shit out of that game

  The drawing is super suggestive, that Minotaur is ripped, face looking down while his chest pump up showing physical dominance while his “enemy” with his height only achieving the bare minimum to cover his massive huge humongous…personality

  • hovercat@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Also the title is literally called “The Staff”

    source

    • QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Right? As soon as I saw it was called “The Staff” I was like “Come the fuck on.”

      Might as well have called it, “The Massive Throbbing Minotaur Meatstick”

  Ouch. Seriously, what was he thinking with that cover. Or the artist for that matter. Should have shopped it out to at least one friend and asked “based on the cover, what do you think this is about?”

  I mean the name literally has “The Staff” in it!

    This seems to be garnering a lot of attention. Maybe he knew exactly what he was doing.

  Well then judging by the title it’s about a group of coworkers?

  He’s upset because everyone made the wrong assumption, it’s actually a story about a sentient staff that gets revenge for being used as a sounding rod for 30 years.

  “Jason knew that this was beyond him. And some deep inside him rose. A deep knowing that he could take this the minataur. Sterlingly strong, the minataur stood with a knowing going in his eyes. This wasn’t his first rodeo. “Don’t fail me now” Jason thought as he gripped his staff ever tighter.”

  “The minataur thrust himself at Jason. A tangled mess of limbs and horns, they jostled for position. Jason held the minataur’s head down by the horns. “I’ve got you now” as he moved to thrust his staff deep inside the … The world a twirl, Jason found himself on his back, lurching. Something gored him and the man-beast had struck the first blow. He had never felt anything like this before. The power. The grace. The yearning for release. He was no longer in control. When was the last time he wasn’t in control?”

    Complete with the little spelling and grammar mistakes that such a novel would contain. Ahem, allegedly contain.

  don’t think its gonna sell as good with a different cover. also “A NOVEL NOT ABOUT GAY MINOTAUR SEX?” should be its byline

  Reading gooner “literature” needs to be shamed, at least a little bit.

  • Vespair@lemmy.zip ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    This company has existed since the 1940s; reading erotica is not even remotely a new phenomenon and you’re fighting a losing battle if you think you’re going to change that. Maybe you should instead get comfortable with the fact that a healthy sexual appetite is normal and people have been engaging in various forms of mental masturbation since literally the dawn of humanity.

    source

    • ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      There’s a difference between writing things to satisfy a “healthy sexual appetite” and some of the honestly disgusting and insane things that get published. I guess I’m more against literary depravity (like shit involving falling in love with your rapist or family stuff, many Wattpad stories are like that) than I am against just erotica.

  You need to include tags. I don’t read fanfic but they probably have a tag for sex-free writing. Assuming there is any.
