She had one of those old hand-cranked clothes wringers and was anxiously feeding her hands through.

See now I'm just remembering the romance novel I read a while back where a very normal sex scene suddenly escalated into the characters licking each others' sweaty, hairy armpits, lovingly described. Sometimes you get the author's fetishes working their way into the text, and then sometimes you wonder if the author is aware that they have a fetish at all.

Reminded me of my favourite Finnish* euphemism: iso kainalo (big armpit). *) Could exist in other languages as well, I'm not an arse-euphemism expert.

Reminds me of the Sound! Euphonium novels, where there’s an open debate over whether the author intended them to be so incredibly gay, or whether she just thought that was how high-school friendships between girls typically went.

I remember really liking that series when I was younger, and I almost picked them up to reread recently. Glad I didn’t.

IShallRiseAgain posted:Uh, women are just as capable of having weird sexual fetishes as men. Yeah, but this particular fetish seems unusually... self-congratulatory for the man, if you catch my drift. Like an author writing a book about a beautiful teenage girl hopelessly attracted to short, fat, middle-aged English literature professors. That's definitely someone’s kink, but you wouldn’t expect it to be the woman’s.

Sapiosexual stuff is functionally no different from describing the physical attributes of someone; it's just the author thinking "I'm into brains more than flat abs" and then describing smartness in the same way someone else would describe the abs because that's the formula.

Find & replace, romance novel 101. For awhile I toyed with a novelty gift company that would make little 50 page romance booklets with you and your SO's (or whomever's) name of choice, occupations, etc. Essentially a more robust version of the books for kids with their name in it. Costs were too high for what we expected to be an acceptable purchase price, and that was with going bottom barrel overseas printing.

It's definitely not a new thing, but since it seems to have died pre-internet it's mostly clippings and adverts. The issue is that there's simply no economy of scale and everything has to be printed to order. One of the old adverts that I dug up was from the late 80s and was "only" $39.99. In the late 80s. Still, I have the templates and it's a nice wedding/anniversary gift to make keepsake boxes with fake tawdry romance cover lids.

tbf you can get paperbacks or even hardcovers printed & bound down to like 10 copies but it doesnt get near economical until you get into 50 or 100+ runs, and thats assuming you sell them at like 10 bucks a pop

Did small crafted ones for awhile but the demand was never there. Anyway, tangent aside, back to real bad books.

I posted about how dumb this book is earlier in this thread, but the dude's attracted to the robot but won't admit it because he's "not a human being", so the robot swaps to feminine pronouns so they can gently caress and it won't be gay.
