"I no longer had any notion when a story of mine became 'erotica' in the eyes of other people."

I have the same problem - so many of my stories straddle the line between erotic and non-erotic. That's usually obvious to the reader, though, from my blurbs.

In your case, um, you don't supply blurbs. :) At least, not at your Website. So it really is a game of Russian roulette for readers visiting your Website. It's a game I'm quite willing to play in your case, because I had the good fortune to stumble upon a story of yours that was so good that I added you to my "will read anything by them" list of authors.

Personally, I don't care whether warnings are given, and I tend to skip them anyway, because they so often include major spoilers. But I really, really appreciate it when an author includes a blurb, because I usually don't read stories because they appear in certain fandoms or feature certain characters - I read them because they have some sort of plot premise that intrigues me.
