Man that's rich.
If I were trying to 'give the readers what they want', I suppose I'd have to be looking at something in the 'erotica' vein.
Of course, I'm not, and I won't.
So is there an 'epic-erotica' sub-genre yet? Or 'high-erotica' perchance?
To be honest, I think that erotica is probably just like any other genre. It's not like I see a ton of posts saying, "I'm making millions writing erotica!"
I haven't given it a lot of consideration, but just from browsing a few threads, there are some challenges. For example, apparently if you cross certain lines, Amazon makes it very hard to find your books. More importantly, though, a lot of the promotion opportunities are closed to erotica writers (I think - not 100% sure on that).
If you really want to choose a genre based solely on earning potential, I think that romance might win out. It is my understanding, though, that fantasy is not a bad choice at all for indie authors.
