I LOVE em dashes. I get all excited to talk about them since no one ever wants to talk about them.

Bite my shiny metal ass if you think my m/m erotica is written by ai just because of all the (glorious, wonderful, perfectly executed) em dashes! I like my smut like I like my em dashes--and that means A LOT!

Bunch of dumb idiots, thinking writers don't use em dashes...
