Summary
This week on Guys We Fucked, CORINNE FISHER (@PhilanthropyGal) and KRYSTYNA HUTCHINSON (@KrystynaHutch), advise a Fucker whose long-distance boyfriend seems more interested in golf than her, help out another Fucker who has a crush on his married bff, Corinne is thinking about love, and Krystyna is pissed about cellphones. Then the duo chats with romance novelist, LAUREN ACCARDO (@laurenaccardo)! Lauren tells us about how she was introduced to the romance genre, confesses to writing Hanson fan fiction as a child, and reminisces about horny AIM sessions as a teen. Lauren also gets real about the romance novel industry, including required happy endings, big emphasis on consent, and self-publishing. We also chat about how Lauren’s first OkCupid date became her husband, her experience majoring in musical theater, and how she learned to write explicit sex scenes!

| 0:00.0 | Hey fuckers, what up it's Christina Hutchinson and Corinne Fisher. |
| 0:03.6 | You're about to listen to a clip from guys we fucked the anti-slut-chaming podcast. |
| 0:08.7 | We are interviewing a debut romance novelist Lauren Akarto this week, her book Wild Love. |
| 0:16.3 | Debuts hits the charts this week and we just dive into this whole world that we don't know |
| 0:22.2 | anything about. What is a romance novel? What are the rules of the world? How fucking explicit can |
| 0:27.7 | you get on these pages? What's going on? Are there LGBTQ romance novels? How do you get into |
| 0:33.9 | this world? Is it corny? Is it cool? Is it make it horny when you're writing? Such an interesting |
| 0:39.5 | conversation. And if you want to hear the whole thing, you're going to head over to luminarypodcast.com, |
| 0:45.3 | slash GWF, where you can get a subscription for as low as 299 a month when you sign up for the |
| 0:52.3 | annual plan. I am not one of those people who grew up picking romance novels off my mom's bookshelves |
| 0:59.2 | and reading them at a way too early age. I got a job as a marketing associate for a book publisher. |
| 1:06.6 | I had long worked in illustrated books and one day they were like, you're going to start |
| 1:11.6 | being a publicist for our romance line. I was like, I don't know anything about romance. |
| 1:16.3 | Wow. Without your consent. Without your consent. We're going to be our romance gal. |
| 1:19.3 | Exactly. I didn't know a lot about romance when I started and I had to start reading. |
| 1:24.8 | And I was surprised. I had sort of had all the preconceptions that a lot of people have about |
| 1:30.4 | romance and found that there's some incredible writing. So it just converted completely. |
| 1:37.0 | Conceptions, just corny hack. I don't really have any. My head beyond that. It's that it's a female |
| 1:43.8 | focused genre. So the idea is that because it's focused on love and it has a happily ever after |
| 1:49.9 | that it's cheesy or corny or because there's graphic descriptions of sex that it's trashy. |
| 1:57.5 | And we don't talk about most other media that way. We don't talk about movies with sex |
| 2:02.4 | and them as trashy. If it's there for entertainment value, then we don't tend to talk about it that way. |
