Hey all. I’ve started an erotic fiction book recently just as a pet project, but I’m wondering if anyone has any experience in this. If I wanted to publish is there any way to do so anonymously with true protection?
I come from a strict Christian background, and my family would all freak out if it got out. I’m also married and my wife would likely not approve, especially because the subject matter is a guy cheating on his wife with her best friend. (Not based in reality if you’re wondering, haha!)
I’m also not sure if there’s any sort of market, even in terms of just having people follow the story. I’m not really looking for a paycheck, but I want to have some sort of ability to connect with my readers. Maybe an anonymous blog? I posted it on DeviantART, but let’s be fair, that’s really for a more juvenile audience.
Anyway, thoughts? Opinions? Violent outbursts?

I’ve been a longtime reader but not writer on websites like Literotica and Lushstories, and it looks like you could find a good community there. I often see authors linking to their e-books also

I would suggest e-book as the easiest, cheapest, and most anonymous method of publishing a book. If you want to talk about a physical book, you would be best off taking to a publisher, and asking up front about your concerns.
The alternative would be posting here, it else where online, where people can follow the story as you write. However, if you want to actually sell a story, didn’t post it for people to read.
