I wrote my very first erotic furry story in October 2001.

As for smut/erotic, Steven King has sex play almost a blatant part in his novels, sometimes, but his work is still popular. Adults have sex, and that's really nothing to shy away from.
I wrote a novel (gonna self-publish soon) a while back where there were sexual encounters and situations, but the overall work used sex/love to elicit certain emotions from the reader(hopefully).
It's funny, a friend of mine read it, and wanted two characters to hook up. So, as non-canon author-written fanfic, I obliged. Afterward my friend said: "of course you would take smut and turn it into a story!"
Quite frankly, I really don't read furry fiction, in general, i don't read wank-material, either. I should read more than i do, I've just become jaded over bad or tedious writing.
Addendum: I discovered the fandom when I was in high school over MUCKS or MUDS but then stopped until college when I found myself drawn back in through other people. I know of the fandom, but I don't consider myself a part of it; just like I appreciate anime but I would not consider myself an otaku.
