    Fantasy or not, I reckon incest is probably illegal (aka punished by law) in many regions, and even if one manages to stay away form the most obvious/illegal forms of incest it will still often be frown upon, hard enough, for people to not be that willing to openly publish/host it for anyone to read. At least, not without some serious safeguards, say, to prevent minors from accessing it and to prevent the most deranged type of stories to ever be published (no webmaster/host is that willing to risk getting sued for some nasty story a random weirdo decided to publish on their platform).

    Imho, if you’re into writing erotica your best bet is to find a community of fellow erotica writers and discuss that with them. They must certainly know where it will be ok to post and share the kind of stories you’re into. And they should be able to tell you what is ok, and what is not.

        My pleasure. I hope you will a space that suits your needs .

        As a side note regarding the Fediverse/Lemmy/Piefed/etc. as a publishing space: be aware that you can create your own community (say, one dedicated to your type of erotica) but my remarks remain valid: you will need an instance (aka, the server on which lives your community) that is ok to host potentially offensive content (or worse). Or you can host your own instance (aka, the physical server on which your community lives) but then you need to be yourself, as a person, ok to face the potential legal risks of publishing offensive content (or worse).

        Ignoring smut and the shitload crap that is being written just for making some money out of people feeling an irrepressible need to… scratch an itch (which is a legit business, don’t get me wrong it’s just not a quality product), erotica can be great literature. Sadly, a bit like poetry I’m almost tempted to say, most of the time erotica is frowned upon or ignored out of fear of being shamed for reading it. Imho, what makes the best erotica, beside the author knowing their craft, is the author willingness to outsmart the limits they’ve been imposed, be it by the law and/or by pubic morality and also, it is at least as important, all the limitations they imposed on themselves. The desire to play with those limits.
