There's no concrete definition or grocery list of elements that make something a bodice ripper. It's all subjective and, like porn, we know it when we see it. ;D It's a genre that broke the rules, so it's only logical that it shouldn't follow any.
Bodice Ripper Reads Anonymous is one of the few forums on the internet that BR readers can freely discuss the genre without much restriction. What better platform to use than this group for authors in the process or who is considering writing a bodice ripper? Newly published bodice rippers are a rarity, but still the genre is still very active. BR authors republishing their back-lists without much reworking is proof in itself. So, WELCOME new generation of Bodice Ripper Writers!
