FAQ: What are the most visited pages on this website and how many visits do they get?
Several years ago, I wrote an article on how to write different types of magic uses, or rather how I personally write various types of magic users within the context of my Quaraun books. Today that page is one of my top ten most visited articles. It gets 50 to 500 views/reads/hits/visits per day depending on the time of the years and has had over 200k visits total since it was published.
Amphibious Aliens: Debunking The Atwater Family's Alien Abduction Hoax with more then 30MILLION reads since 2007 and The GoldenEagle: Debunking Stephen King's World's Most Haunted Car Hoax with over tenMILLION reads since 2007 still rank as the two most visited articles on my website, but, neither of those are writing related.
Writing Medieval Servants is my most visited writing related article with over 7MILLION reads.
This website was started in 1996 and has 1 to 3 new articles (all written by me, I am the only writer on this site) published almost daily. In 2017 we crossed ten thousand articles published. As of 2023, EACH article gets MINIMUM 10 to 70 reads PER DAY, with the high traffic articles getting 500+ reads per day.
And since December 2019, my website now gets three hundred thousand to 7 million reads per month - well over ONE HUNDRED MILLION PAGE READS PER YEAR, making it not only the single most trafficked site in the State of Maine, but also one of the most visited websites in ALL OF NEW ENGLAND!

Writing The Harem Genre
>Can we talk about this reverse harem thing? It breaks the largest Romance no-no and is dominating the top 100 of most of the subcategories in KU right now
I suppose it depends upon the niche, but, I'm a reader and writer of the Harem stories and their various flavours, and cheating is VERY rare in either Harem or Reverse Harem.
As a general rule, cheating is only found in stuff by authors who are cash grabbers-writers looking to make a quick buck and not interested in doing any research into the genre before trying to write it. The authors who write cheating stories tend to be the ones who don't last long. They jump the craze band wagon, pump out a bunch of crap that is just fako-ass-pretend-wannabe harem, because they don't know the genre or it's tropes, and it's painfully obvious that they never read a Harem story in their life.
>would have come a lot smoother if it was okay for the heroine to just fuck whoever she wanted
Uhm... okay, readers of RH are going to be quick to call a character like this a "slut" or a "whore" and go psycho 1 star neg crazy on your book. I see it happen all the time, with the get-rich-quick-band-wagon writers, who pump out a story of a bed-hopping tramp who couldn't stay faithful to a man if someone put a gun to her head...and then they wonder WHY readers are screaming "slut!!!!!" and "whore!!!!!" in the 1 star reviews.
The thing is, 99.99% of ACTUAL Harem stories (reverse or otherwise) that are written by authors who ACTUALLY CARE about the readers and the genre, and are not just in it to make fast cash, are **COMMITED LONG TERM RELATIONSHIPS** Often the MC and his/her harem are **MARRIED** and there is a strong focus on the family unit.
Harem genre is NOT one guy/gal who goes to the bar every night and drags a different guy/gal home every night, though I have seen plenty of get-rich-quick-scammers try to pass off exactly that as Harem genre, and it's NOT.
One of the **PRIMARY TROPES** which literally **DEFINES** the Harem genre is the fact that the MC is **MARRIED AND/OR LIFE-LONG COMMITED** to his/her partners.
And for MOST READERS, if you can't list it as one of those things, then it is NOT the Harem genre.
The focus on **MARRIAGE** and the **MARRIED FAMILY UNIT** is the single most important primary trope of the Harem genre.
Yes, there are people who don't read the genre and try to write single characters who are sex crazy and do nothing but run around town boinking every hole that moves, committed to none, but, those stories are always mega hit by hundreds, often thousands of 1 star reviews by avid Harem readers who HATE the womanizer man or the slutty bed hopping woman. Both are cheaters, and cheaters are **HATED BIG TIME** in this genre that puts primary focus on **MARRIED PARTNERS**.
In order for a book to be **ACTUAL** Harem genre, ALL PARTIES MUST LIVE TOGETHER AS A FAMILY UNIT, and either be MARRIED or COMMITED and living AS THOUGH MARRIED.
That is literally the ONLY REQUIREMENT of the Harem genre, and so, if the story doesn't have that, then it's not Harem, no matter ow much the author claims it i, and the authors is just making a fool of themselves if they call things with cheating and bed hopping "harem".
#A HAREM IS ALWAYS A COMMITED/MARRIED FAMILY UNIT, THAT ALL LIVE TOGETHER.
The short of it is, if you find "Harem" with cheating, womanizing, or slutting in them, they are NOT the Harem genre, and are written by people don't have a clue what the Harem genre even is.
Bar hopping is a niche, sure, but it's not part of the Harem genre.
Womanizing is a niche, yes, but it's not part of the Harem genre.
Keep in mind too, that more then 60% of all Harem stories out their count as "SWEET" or "CLEAN" or "WHOLESOME" or "SEXLESS" or "RELIGIOUS" Romance.
Remember too that the **BIGGEST READER BASE** for the Harem genre is in fact LDS/Mormon and Muslim readers, most of whom **ACTUALLY LIVE** in a real world Harem relationship.
I write Harem.
You know why?
I have 2 husbands.
My mother also had two husbands.
Her father had 2 wives.
Her oldest sister has 9 husbands.
One of her brothers has 5 wives, and 15 "lesser wives".
We are Persian Gypsies who converted to FLDS/Mormonism and polygamy is a very real world part of our every day lives. Persian culture and Mormon culture both fully revolve around huge family units and the average man has 5 to 7 wives. And adultery/cheating/fornication comes with huge punishments, including castration.
You DO NOT CHEAT in a Harem. It's a major taboo and seen as an outright attack on the sacredness of the family unit.
This is the reality of real world harems.
Fictional harems in the Harem genre are based off of real world Harem lifestyle. And the biggest readers of the Harem genre are people who live in a real world harem in real life, and MOST of those readers are either Mormon or Muslim, and they are going to have a psycho crazed meltdown in reviews if cheating, fornication, or adultery are even hinted at in the Harem genre.
>but I believed the conventional wisdom about NO CHEATING being the biggest commandment of romance.
It is, and no where are readers going to be more outraged by cheating, then in the Harem genre.
You must understand, that yes, horny American and Japanese teens jump on any multi partner thing and call it Harem, but horney teens do not define a genre, and the Harem genre is ancient. It has been around for thousands of years. A few modern day horny teens trying to call anything and everything Harem, doesn't mean they know jack shit about what is and is not Harem, and when you are dealing with a genre this old, it's tropes were established centuries ago, and are not changing just because a few horney teens can't be bothered to open a dictionary and find out what Harem means.
>Now we've got this gigantic fad, to the point where it is basically impossible to find a monogomous love story in the top 100 for any sort of fantasy romance, historical romance, fairy tale romance, sci fi romance, etc.
Harem IS monogamous. Monogamous is defined as married couples, and that IS EXACTLY what Harem is.
Remember: if the characters are not married, it is NOT The Harem Genre, no matter how much anyone wants to say it is.
>How long do these crazes usually last?
Harem genre craze is seven thousand years old and counting.
Perhaps it is a new genre for Americans and Europeans, but those of us in Middle East, it's been a staple genre in our culture for close to ten thousand years. Just because Americans and Europeans are only just now discovering it, doesn't mean it's new or doesn't have a long, strong history dating back for many centuries.
>Is there any point in trying to piggyback on them when there's already so much saturation?
No. Please don't.
If you don't know what a genre is, don't try to write it until you've read minimum 100+ TRADITIONALLY PUBLISHED PAPERBACKS (not self published ebooks pumped out by clueless wannabe millionaires) to find out what the genre is and what readers expect.
Believe me, those of us whom live this lifestyle in real life are utterly and thourghlly disgusted with the unmarried, fornicating, cheating, slutting, whoring, womanizing debauchery that has been caused by Harem genre's recent discovery by sex crazed Americans who haven't got a clue what Harem lifestyle is like and are making a complete and total (and VERY HIGHLY OFFENSIVE) fetishizing mockery of our very real lifestyle, that is lived by more then 3BILLION people world wide.
In short, if you can't write our lifestyle with respect and dignity, please don't even bother to try.
>Menage and multiple partner romance has been around since the 90's
No. A lot longer then that. I started writing my M/M/M Harem series in the 1970s, he first volume was published in 1978.
And if you go back to Erotica from the 1890s to 1920s, you're find the Victorians and the Flappers really loved their gang bangs.
Heck, go back to Comte De Sade in the 1730s, writing gangbangs and poly romance was what landed him in prison...and he spent his prison time writing even more of them and coined the term Sadistic. Considered the inventor of the BDSM novel, his work was all published in the 1730s.
And uhhm... have you ever read Gulliver's Travels? Written in the 1500s and NOT child safe. Wait til you get to the scene of him captured by giants and a whole group of giant women lay around getting off n him mountain climbing on their nipples and getting stuck in the pock holes of their pimples. FREAKING FIFTEEN HUNDREDS, Medieval Erotica was weird.
But wait... go back 7,000 years to the book of Genesis and the story of Jacob and his wives in the Bible, or David (of Goliath fame) and his wives, or Lot and his daughters, or... heck 99.99% of every single man in the Bible... including Jesus... preachers like to skip that don't they? Jesus had 5 prostitutes that he rescued from stoning, whom travelled with him everywhere, most people only mention Mary Magdalene, but read the actual Bible verses and not minister retellings, it lists 5 women, of which Mary Magdalene was only 1, their was also Mariam and her sister Mary and the other Mary (it calls her "the other Mary). and Lazarus' unnamed sister. And Jesus was constantly chewing out his 12 apostles for complaining about Jesus' refusal to do anything or go anywhere without his 5 prostitutes, AND, one apostle Peter, was outright said to be gay, stating he was jealous of the women citing that he expected to be Jesus favorite lover. People rarely read the Bible itself and just rely on what preachers say is in the Bible, but read the actual Bible and, damn if it doesn't outright say the 12 apostles and the 5 prostitutes all slept in the same bed with Jesus.
So, multiple partner romance can be traced back as far as the Bible, 7k years ago, and probably even further.
Waaaaay before the 1990s.
>It's not considered cheating. Ménage and multiple partner romance has been around since the 90's the first one I ever read was 1 woman and 5 men/shifters. It's just showing up in contemporary now. The audience for this type of story has been around for awhile. Romance trends cycle but they rarely change much. At least that's been my experience from both sides.
>Is RH really romance?
It's Romance enough that Harlequin has been publishing it for close to 30 years now.
You know, I'm always surprised by how many people on Reddit say they read Romance by are always so clueless as to anything published by Harlequin, literally the world's largest publisher of Romance as well as being one of the Big 4 Publishing Houses.
I am often left asking, if Reddit writers are actually writing Romance, if they have never read Harlequin books, because it's pretty difficult to know what counts as Romance tropes if you don't read books by the literally inventor of said tropes, isn't it?
>Is RH really romance?
Harem, Reverse Harem, M/M Harem, and F/F Harem are all Romance yes, usually Sweet Romance, with not even a hint of sex scenes, not even fade to black sex scenes.
Harem Romance is usually a subgenre of Religious, Inspirational, and/or Biblical Romance *(Biblical Romance being Historical Romance set in Bible times and locations, for example the main couple are staying at the Inn in Bethlehem the night Jesus was born and help with the birth, that sort of thing)*
A lot of Harem Romance is published by Desert Industries, the publishing house owned by the LDS/Mormon Church. And Christian Book Distributors is one of the largest distributing sources of paperback Harem Romances published by little church owned indie house publishers.
If you don't read Sweet, Sexless, Clean, Wholesome, Religious, LDS/Mormon, Muslim, Biblical, Christian, or Inspirational Romance genres, than it is highly probable you have never encountered the Harem Romance genre at all.
Harem, rarely, almost never, contains sex, or even hints to sex, and is one of the largest selling niches within Sweet, Sexless, Clean, Wholesome, Religious, LDS/Mormon, Muslim, Biblical, Christian, and Inspirational Romance.
Harem Romance is almost never Fantasy, and rarely is Contemporary. The most common time periods and places for it to be set are Pioneer/Prairie Era of American 1800s, Middle East/Ottoman/Turkish/Arabian locations of Biblical and Medieval eras, and, African/Ancient Egyptian. Sometimes also Polynesian and Hawaiian.
The most common plots usually focus on the Family Unit and it's struggles against the "big bad", the "big bad" usually being "evangelical missionaries" who are trying to break up the family unit and petitioning to get the government to ban polygamy.
Most of the stuff you are referring to in the top 100, is actually NOT Harem or RH, even though the authors try to pass it off as such. And anyone who reads traditionally published Harem Romance paperbacks put out for decades now by the Big 4, including Harlequin, knows this.
Harem is one of the most tame, least sexless, most family oriented genres within Romance.
This new fad is just horney teens who don't know the Harem genre, passing off their sex fantasies as Harem, when it's not.
>>>First off, how many characters is a good idea to add?
It depends on what sub-niche you are writing. And there are hundreds (maybe thousands) of sub-niches within the Harem genre. So you need to look at the types of Harem you read vs the types of Harem you want to read, but can't find., and especially look at traditionally published paperbacks from the Big 4, especially Harlequin vs the ebooks from former fanfiction writers, because traditional Harem Romance has been around for well over seven thousand years and has a centuries long history that the mega fans of Harem expect you to adhere to, while the new teeny-bopper sex filled stuff is largely written by teens who wouldn't know the definition of the word Harem if a dictionary hit them in the face.
Traditional Harem Romance is VASTLY different from this weird current "Harem" trend.
Harem, Reverse Harem, M/M Harem, and F/F Harem are all Romance yes, usually Sweet Romance, with not even a hint of sex scenes, not even fade to black sex scenes.
Harem Romance is usually a subgenre of Religious, Inspirational, and/or Biblical Romance *(Biblical Romance being Historical Romance set in Bible times and locations, for example the main couple are staying at the Inn in Bethlehem the night Jesus was born and help with the birth, that sort of thing)*

This new fad is just horney teens who don't know the Harem genre, passing off their sex fantasies as Harem, when it's not.
And so, when writing Harem the first step is to decide who your target audience is... the larger, and most strict, sexless/religious reader group? Or the more recent, sex crazed power hungry me-generation fad group, that calls anything they see "Harem"?
Knowing which reader base you want to target is going to have a huge impact on what you write.
So, read heavily the type of Harem you want to write because each type is going to have a vastly different answer to this question:
>>>First off, how many characters is a good idea to add?
It is important to note that the traditional Harem Genre is full focused on family, and not sex. I have written and read this genre since the 1970s and know it inside out... and quite frankly, I find this new "fad version" of so-called "harem" to be a downright mockery of an ancient genre that these new writers don't know one iota about.
Harem genre is NOT one guy/gal who goes to the bar every night and drags a different guy/gal home every night, though I have seen plenty of get-rich-quick-scammers try to pass off exactly that as Harem genre, and it's NOT.
One of the **PRIMARY TROPES** which literally **DEFINES** the Harem genre is the fact that the MC is **MARRIED AND/OR LIFE-LONG COMMITED** to his/her partners.
* It's a MARRIED MAN and his multiple wives (usually 5).
* It's a MARRIED WOMAN and her multiple husbands (usually 3).
* It's a MARRIED MAN and his multiple husbands (usually 2 or 3).
* It's a MARRIED WOMAN and her multiple wives (usually 3).
* It's a MARRIED MAN and his multiple wives & husbands (usually 5 wives and 2 husbands).
* It's a MARRIED WOMAN and her multiple husbands & wives (usually 3 of each).
And for MOST READERS, if you can't list it as one of those things, then it is NOT the Harem genre.
The focus on **MARRIAGE** and the **MARRIED FAMILY UNIT** is the single most important primary trope of the Harem genre.
Yes, there are people who don't read the genre and try to write single characters who are sex crazy and do nothing but run around town boinking every hole that moves, committed to none, but, those stories are always mega hit by hundreds, often thousands of 1 star reviews by avid Harem readers who HATE the womanizer man or the slutty bed hopping woman. Both are cheaters, and cheaters are **HATED BIG TIME** in this genre that puts primary focus on **MARRIED PARTNERS**.
In order for a book to be **ACTUAL** Harem genre, ALL PARTIES MUST LIVE TOGETHER AS A FAMILY UNIT, and either be MARRIED or COMMITED and living AS THOUGH MARRIED.
That is literally the ONLY REQUIREMENT of the Harem genre, and so, if the story doesn't have that, then it's not Harem, no matter ow much the author claims it is, and the authors is just making a fool of themselves if they call things with cheating and bed hopping "harem".
>>>First off, how many characters is a good idea to add?
There is no limit, and also no minimum. Two does count as a harem, though two is rare, more often is 3+
My primary series is a bi-harem. Make MC, the story focused on his 2 favorite male lovers and his favorite female lover; but the series mentions often the fact that he has 37 "lesser wives" whom he does not dote on quiet as much, and he allows them to keep their own additional lovers whom are not his livers. All of his females have given birth to his various children and the children are central/primary characters to the overall plot.
The entire series focuses on the over all relationship ups and downs of the family unit as they all look out for each other and all take care of the children and all love each other. Fights and spats and arguments happen, sometimes their is jealously issue that need to be worked out. The MC is also elderly, in his 80s, and all of his lovers are 60s+, most of them elderly.
Many of the children are adults and have their own poly families, with grandchildren and in-laws also living in the family unit as well. In total there are more then 400 people in the family unit, and they are nomads so travel the planet in a vast caravan, that sets up tents along side the road each night. Each story focuses on how they are treated by the various towns and cities they pass through as they travel.
There are no sex scenes.
I started writing it in 1978, and as of September 2022, there are 422 (four hundred and twenty two) volumes of it up on Amazon (though there are many more volumes that were traditionally published back in the 1970s and 1980s that have not yet been converted to ebook editions).
My readers are largely females in their 70s to 90s, most of them Mormon or Muslim or Middle Eastern.
Because I write to a female audience who is much older then he average ebook reader, most of my sales re paperback editions, and the series is focused on the Romance, Family Saga Relationships, Family Life, and are not focused on sex and the series contains no sex scenes, being completely sexless.
In the 44 years since I started writing/publishing it, it has sold ten million copies across all titles, averaging 27k copies sold per title.
But like I said, you need to research you target audience.
What works for me, may not work for you, if you were aiming at sex filled Erotica instead of sexless Romance. Different readers want different tropes and the only way to know which will work for you, is to compare your work to what others write, and decide which niche you want to write.
Erotic Romance Authors: How do you feel about covers without models (items, landscapes, just the pretty title, etc.)?
Romance
I’m debating switching over to covers without models, but everything I’ve read says covers without models don’t sell.
In my niche, either is acceptable, so that is not a concern. However, I wanted to ask for your personal experiences.
Anybody tried it? Hated it? Loved it? Saw a large loss or gain?
Thank you!
I come from a culture (Middle Eastern) that places a lot of taboo on photography in general and photography of people is considered very bad/sinful.
Additionally it is a culture where women are not allowed to go to school or learn to read or write, and we females are expected to obey our husbands/fathers/brothers as though their words were straight from God. We women have very little in terms of either rights or freedom.
My husband is more liberal then most, I was allowed to learn to read and write. I am one of the very few women in my culture with this skill.
In addition to that, my husband is a priest/minister of his religion and is VERY strict about what his family is allowed to do.
Back in 2010 when I first started uploading to KDP, he had a total meltdown over the thought of me publishing books. Not a meltdown over Erotica, but just books in general, because his religion outright teaches that ALL non scripture writing is evil. Basically his religion full on bans books, reading, and writing.
So, this was a problem because he was just freaking out.
There was a long time (months) of him just daily having religion crazed ranting raving screaming fits over the evils of the very existence of books that were not scripture.
In the end, he finally calmed down and started to think with his brain and not his scriptures, and finally came to the conclusion that it was okay for me to write books, so long as actual photographs of people never appear on any cover.
This was where he was going to draw the line.
I could write whatever I wanted, but the cover art, had to be such that it would be approved by his church. And his church, his religion, has an extreme taboo against people being photographed.
So, my earliest books in 2010, originally had photography of people on the covers, but all of those were removed a few months later, and there have not been photography of people on my covers ever since.
As my writing is Harem Romance and therefore has no sex scenes in it, because Harem Romance is a Religious Romance subgenre, and my characters were all Persian, like myself, and the main character's primary hobby is growing roses, so... roses became the theme/branding of the series.
The cover arts are all watercolor paintings of roses, with most of the covers being shades of pink.
The series now in 2022 has 422 volumes (four hundred and twenty two) and in February 2021, it crossed ten million sales total across all titles, averaging 27k sales per volume, with one volume having sold 300k copies and another volume having sold one million copies.
Would I have gotten more or less sales with photos of people on the covers? I don't know.
But I do know that I way outsell the authors who do use photography of people on their covers. So there's that.
NEVER WRITE FOR AN EROTICA PUBLISHING COMPANY!!!
Why don't you just publish it yourself to Amazon and or SmashWords, like every other Erotica author does?
Ghostwriters in Erotica don't get paid shit. That's why so many fake Erotica authors use them. They can pay ghostwriters a tiny one time fee for next to nothing for work they put on Amazon and get paid top dollar on monthly for the rest of their lives.
I really don't understand why anyone would be a ghostwriter in Erotica. Its just shooting yourself in the foot, by earning less then 1% of what you would earn had you just made a penname and published it yourself on Amazon or SmashWords.
Plus you'll not have to put up with the toxic behavior of people who are clearly taking advantage of you, and getting off on being abusive, because they think the peanuts they pay you are enough to keep you hanging on.
Btw... I write and publish weekly erotic shorts of 15k words each on Amazon. And I make $3k a month doing it.
I am considered one of the smaller Erotica authors, as the ones writing the popular taboo niches make between $10k to $100k per month, with most Erotica authors bringing in $20k monthly. So my $3k a month is seen as tiny next to nothing.
I've never used a ghostwriter and I've never ghostwriter for others.
I write exactly what I want, kinks that I personally enjoy, (m/m harem) at word counts I feel most comfortable writing (15k), and I keep all the money.
I could make more money if I was writing more popular niches, but money is not my goal and I'm comfortable where I am. Note I'm not writing taboos. There is far more money in taboos. What I write leans very heavy into Literary and Family Drama, almost soap opera like Romance, and has far fewer erotic scenes then what other writers of my same word counts have. My income would be much higher if I focused more of the sex and less on the family life relationships, but like I said, I'm comfortable where I am, so I've no incentive to change it up.
I edit using ProWritingAid premium. I make my own cover art with Canva and Depositphotos.
I write about 2k to 3k words a day 3 to 4 days a week. Publish a 15k story on Amazon every weekend.
Once in a while I write a taboo story that falls into Amazon's list of banned taboos, and so I'll put that on SmashWords, but for the most part, most of my stuff is on Amazon.
I also write Dark Fantasy LitRPG that I publish on DriveThruRPG.
It's really easy to publish yourself. And you won't have to deal with the headach of the toxic behavior they are putting you though.
So, I was over on Reddit, you like I often am, and found this question. And answered it, like I do. However, the answer I initially gave was a simple generic answer. If you want to read my original answer unaltered, simply click on Reddit's embed feature links which Reddit provides for webmasters to be able to post their answers on their websites, while linking back to the original thread on Reddit (if you didn't know Reddit offered and encouraged the use of this feature, look for it in the "share" features underneath every post, comment, and reply on Reddit).
I am answering random questions today about writing, self-publishing, character creation, and world building, over on Reddit and decided to take my answers from there and expand upon them even further over here. So that's what this page is. Me rambling on about various aspects of world building techniques I use when writing the Quaraun series. The questions I am answering are embedded here. Clicking the link in the embedded question will take you to the original Reddit page where you can see the original answer along with other people's answers. If you wish to comment, you can do so on the Reddit page where a place to do so is provided.
In any case, as with all of my Reddit answers found on my site here, my original post on Reddit is much shorter then the article here.
