British novelists writing pornography - Times Online: "THEY are known for their well reviewed or bestselling novels. So what are a bunch of respected authors - including Fay Weldon, Joanne Harris, Daisy Waugh, Joan Smith, Louise Doughty and Rachel Johnson, the Sunday Times columnist - doing writing pornography?
They are among a group of 20 women who have anonymously contributed to a book of “unashamedly sexy stories”. Each has given herself a “nom de plume” or, as Kathy Lette, another of the writers, calls it, a “nom de porn”. These include Minxy Malone, Tutty Monmouth and Minty Mountjoie."

English writers should stick to what they do best: WESTERNS!
Come come, sir, they have always produced good pornography. But why anonymously?

Because if you Kute it up, it becomes less depraved of you, rather than Naughty. Rather sad...one sees the same tendency in US porn writing.
Happiest tidbit today--PETA's campaign to Re-Brand fish, particularly gamefish, as Sea Kittens.
Sea kittens? They're cute, but they grow up to be nasty olf catfish.
Thanks to Richard Heft for his nice comment. I will try to keep up the good work.
As for British writers writing porn - well, it's not just a British thing is it? 'The Perfumed Garden' and 'Kharma Sutra' were written long before 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' - though I wouldn't put that down as porn.
And many a big name contributed to 'Playboy' and some other 'big' names have become centrefolds.
Still nom de plumes have become more imaginative than Ben Dover, Joy Stick and Tina Cream.
And what about Sir Richard Burton?
