That is fun. I've written gunshots and femoral artery bleeding and head trauma ... not always in romance, though.
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

I've discovered that writing leads to really odd Google searches.

Heh. Welcome to the club.

Oh god, yeah! I've googled slaughterhouses, calibers of bullets, bullet wounds, sex toys (what?), and a million things. Once in a while I'm afraid I'm going to end up on some FBI watch list.

guerrillas in Cuba, Fidel Castro, baseball, rape laws in Ohio, pharmacology, guitar construction, midcentury social mores, birth control, sensual foods...
The list, she is endless.

I've got a question about something. Two men and a woman get into a tussle trying to apprehend woman X. One of the men does get a pretty good look at X's face (maybe 30 - 60 seconds) however her face has a fair amount of blood on it at the time (not X's). X is actually taken away other authorities immediately after apprehension, so there is no time after the tussle to study.
What level of disguise would X need to have to not be recognized by either Man. The man who got a good look is decently observant. Complicating matters is that X is beautiful to a remarkable degree (there are story reasons for this), she also has perfect teeth though this is a society in which dental care is not uncommon it's not a medieval Europe like fantasy setting. On the other hand, they would not expect to see her as she should by all reason be in a jail cell at the time.
Hair color and style are different for sure. Would that do it alone without being too much of a stretch? Maybe though in a bit of cosmetics? I'm having a hard time deciding.

I'm actually surprised at how much I've had to Google so far since I have a totally made up setting. I guess all the stuff I'm constantly adding to my notes would be Google searches as well in real life.

How long has it been? Long enough she could lose weight and be dirty and etc? Because that could make a lot of difference if she's not someone they know well.
