The danger of researching...

[wiseheart]

...isn't just that your head explodes from all those miles-long Japanese names that somehow all manage to sound the same. No, you also get haunted by story ideas.

So I've written pr0n. Related to an episode of "The Tale of the Heike". About people who might or might not have existed 900 years ago. I took one of the most tear-jerking parts of the TOH, turned it around and made Teh Ebol Slash(TM) out of it. Complete with purple prose (very, very purple), horrible euphemisms (the "hidden delights of his secret garden" anyone?)and explicit, erm, interaction.

At least it's only 5 pages, and it was done within two hours. I'm still a bit shocked by the results research overdosing could lead to.

As a fellow research nerd, research leading to pr0n amuses me to no end.

And people think research is *boring*, the poor innocent dears XD

As Captain Charming would say *points at icon* "You people have no idea!"

Wanna see the result? Since I can't send you a piece of the sinfully delicious Apfel-Quarktorte I produced yesterday evening, I can at least send you medieval Japanese pr0n. Complete with the purplest purple pose I've written since "The Joys of a Beard" (my Tolkien Sue parody, where everyone wanted to get into Gimi's pants - with bad slash, mpreg, flowery language... the whole nine miles).

Sure, it sounds fun!

Will be on its way in a moment. In the meantime, visit this page (http://www.iz2.or.jp/english/fukusyoku/wayou/index.htm) and drool over the guys Tosh meets in this story.

It's a great site, shows clothes from all social circles from that period. Am really happy to have found it.

Thanks for the link and the fic!

The clothes are lovely! I've filed it under my research bookmarks, you never know when you need it... XD

They're beautiful, aren't they? Somehow, imagining my protagonists in that garb before they put it down to do the dirty almost makes pr0n, I dunno, salonfähig - is there a proper English expression for *that*?

[artemis10002000]

*laughs* I don't know, actually. But I understand the sentiment XD

Oh, I know all too well the dangers of research! After all, look at my current research career: I started out with men's groins and am currently on women's breasts and cervices. If it's not fit for dinner table conversation, I'm probably doing research on it... It just makes lousy fanfic.

Which is a sad, sad thing. You write the funniest thing when you have the time to do so. Here, have some eye candy! *points at icon*
