Well, this past weekend was the RWA (Romance Writer's of America) convention, open to a lot more than just the writers and other industry professionals, although it is aimed primarily at them rather than readers. RWA has pretty traditionally not wanted to think about erotica, and there's no erotica category in the RITA awards. They are becoming more open to indy authors and small publishers, though, and this may change their openness to erotica as a category.
