I appreciate this! I’ve also thought about the tension between sticking only to erotica and expanding to other work as well. Thanks for naming it so well! I may at some point follow suit :)
Both Maia and Woodhouse are incredibly evocative! Maia is a universal figure/goddess in Indo-European traditions-goddess of magic and fertility, and in India the personification of illusion, play, and such. In Perennialism, Maya is the manifestation of the Divine here below.
As for Woodhouse, well, it’s getting warm in here.

Thank you for the feedback 💛 I will be along for the ride if/when you do expand!

Ooh I did not know that history! Tolkien must have, though, because those themes of fertility and magic fit very nicely with the role the Maiar play.
Yes, I imagine the Woodhouses keep things quite toasty indeed 😉 I couldn’t believe my luck, having that surname directly in my lineage - too perfect!
Thank you for reading, my friend 💛
Mario: It's-a-me! Mario!
Maia: Hi, Mario 😁
Mario: Who are you, and where are you headed?
Maia: My-uh... wood house? 😅
Mario: Your name or where you're going?
Maia: ...both? 😳
Mario: You. Uh. Got plumbing at that. 'Wood house?'
Maia: If you're there, I can show you some, pipes, that need cleaning 👀
Mario: 🫣 How about now?
Maia: 🫦 I mean, the pipes aren't going to clean themselves... 🥺🥵
Mario: Mamma-Maia! 🥵
Sex-FX: *bOIng-bOIng-bOIng*
