Hello, all.
I enjoyed writing short erotica (2000 - 6000 words a pop, usually) for my own entertainment.
I've heard that some erotica authors make money by self-publishing their short stories on Amazon, typically via the Kindle Unlimited program. It's my understanding that anyone with a Kindle Unlimited subscription can view these stories for free, and authors get reimbursed by number of pages read per month.
Does anyone have any practical experience with this? I'm curious if it's viable and if anyone has had any luck with it. Truthfully, it would just be fun for me. I'm not seeking to make a big profit; I just want to entertain myself by publishing the material I'm already producing anyway (and maybe have some neat new experiences).
I'm wondering things like:

I'm wondering things like:
- Does anyone here do it?
- How do you make your own covers?
- How often do you publish?
- Length of stories?
- What sells the most? Lesbian, gay, straight, or multiples?
- Are there any good resources you know about? Reddit communities, forums, etc, where I might find information?
