I suppose, though, that I forget what 2006 was like - combing through the dregs and constantly relying on cabals of internet friends and/or recs posts to find stories that you'd enjoy, that weren't eye-rollingly over the top, etc. That said, even in the long ago days of 2004-2006, there was plenty of smut being put out (by aforementioned fanfiction authors) that would have been higher on my reading preference list. The writing was quality fanfiction competent, and I ended up doing down an internet rabbit hole and reading a WHOLE lot about Ellora's Cave, the independent publisher of erotic fiction, which was an eBook darling in the aughts. The pros? It was short, and had a really high sex-scene to page count ratio, so file it VERY soundly under "erotica" for people who could care less about complex plotting or believable interpersonal dynamics. Basically your standard syndicated Star (blank) universe porn with (minimal) plot. Heteronormative and male gazey in a very early 2000s way. Was looking for something IPB-ish and found this on Libby under the "erotic" category.
