…where the idea came from for the story I’m working on now. But it’s a bit odd.
What’s the oddest story you’ve ever read or written? Maybe an oddball hero? Or setting? Doesn’t have to be odd in the funny sense. Mine isn’t. Just something different that you don’t see everyday.
Hmmm, I must read a lot of conventional stuff, or maybe I’m just used to what I’m reading that I don’t blink an eye.
One thing that comes to mind is a rather effeminate hero. He had long sleek red hair, and a smooth, sleek, hairless body. Made me think of Marilyn Manson - not my cuppa tea. Being so used to brawny, muscular men with chest hair, it was rather off-putting. I like the alpha males with muscles (not bodybuilder, but like the hero on AK’s Jane’s Warlord is awfully nice). Now that’s something I don’t read about everyday.

From there, my imagination ran wild.
by DanaThis is a very good thing.

I’m reading along and then the big erotic love scene comes and all of a sudden a blue fairy joins them and there’s a manage-e-trois with the hero, heroine and the blue fairy. Let me just say it was quite enlightening.
