That's a fairly standard stance. Blade's a few inches off her face, if she's doing it right.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, fuck.
First, you have Black Lace. My most recent letter from them says:
Editorial Changes: Please be aware that we want to tone down the four-letter words a bit for future compilations. We preferably want only one sex scene per story, beautifully described and perhaps more subtle than previous Black Lace writing. We are trying to get the books off the top shelf here in the UK, and out to a wider audience. For that, we need to reduce the use of ‘f’ and ‘c’ words.
Yup. Black Lace, purveyors of porn for women, want only one sex scene per story.

That's just...romantic comedy or something...my brain before lunch. Not "porn"

How many sex scenes did they used to have?

Uh... many?

Oh, yeah, I suppose. Hope the writers and readers don't suffer from the lack of, um, wiggle room, Betsy.

If you follow the link, it's to an angry erotica writer who says that she is indeed suffering.

I've read a couple of them, and not much cared for them. But if I pick one up and find what the new specs detail, I'm not getting what I'm looking for. Hell, most of the lighthearted historicals these days have more than that going on.

Exactly. It's as if Toys in Babeland suddenly started selling only chin massagers.
