Eros is the Greek god of love and sex.; a primordial deity (the first generation of gods and goddesses). For the most part, primordial deities were not given human characteristics, instead they were personifications of places or abstract concepts. (Imagine, Sex being an abstract concept!)
Eros is the type of love that involves passion, lust, and/or romance. Thus, the Brandsters felt EROS was a perfect name to assign those stories written by authors who have had second thoughts about posting them under their own nom de plume. One such writer blushed and stammered, “Oh Heavens, if my mother ever found out I wrote this.”
Note: These stories are sexually explicit. Readers who are easily offended should not continue to the stories.
