Clit Lit (Kinda)

Fictionwise has brought me the news that they're offering a Valentine's Special on 15 individual Harlequin romances. Free. Gratis. Crikey.

Now I don't read Mills and Boon (the UK Harlequin label), but the temptation to get all of these is overwhelming. But what am I setting myself up for?

( Harlequin Romance )

And as these are all different 'types' of Harlequin Romance, one of these is a Steeple Hill book. Yes, the Christian Inspirational Romance line, perpetrators of the only Harlequin book I own, Daddy's Home (Don't ask, you don't want to know) Guess which one is the sheep amongst the goats.

Also, one for mikes_grrl, methinks. Via oursin.

Literature writers turn to erotica.

Unfortunately, highly predictable. No wonder men complain that they can't work out what women actually want - we're not even honest with ourselves.

The Virtual World, virtually.

Work is horrendous - I want a new life.

Have just been freaked out by Scott Adams - he's blogging about the virtual universe again here. What he suggests is not new (Thirteenth Floor anyone???) But it's freaky because of the punchline. I was justifying literal creationism just the other day, using *exactly* the same argument. I was even thinking about re-writing the beginning of Genesis as if God was actually a caffeine-addicted computer programmer. Looks like I don't need to bother!

The Professionals Anonymous Pornfest

Way, way back last year we ran an Anonymous Pornfest for Life on Mars over at fiandyfic. It was great fun, generated a shedload of fic and encouraged at least two new writers (that I know of) to start posting their own fic at the lifein1973 comm.

Which is all brilliant. And the time is nearly upon us to do another one.

This isn't it.

I thought to myself: 'Well, if we had so much fun with LoM, how about doing on for The Professionals fandom?' and several of you agreed.

So this is it. Enjoy, have fun, and I'll call a halt to the festivities in a few weeks, or when no-one posts any more. All you have to do is anonymously request a fic or anonymously reply to a request with fic. Multiple submissions are encouraged for any request. Don't worry if your favourite prompt has already been answered. The more fic, the merrier!

If you want an example of how we play, last year's Life on Mars Anonymous Pornfest is here. As in the example, I'll be collating responses as we go along.
