Well, tastes do change, I suppose...
Discussing my new and exciting progress on my NaNo novel (delightfully cheesy bodice-ripper stuff) with Mer via AIM, explaining how I found the time period it's set in, finally:
Me: Post-Cromwell, probably mid-to-late 17th, maybe early 18th century. Which means I have a ton of rewriting to do at some point. I'm not going to worry excessively about historical detail right now, but Elizabeth has been mentioned already, and at some point it may become apparent that Cromwell's folk had a seriously detrimental effect on the fae.
Mer: Hm. Intriguing.
Me: They may have even been responsible for Elizabeth coming into power. Not sure yet.
Mer: Hey, what are you doing? You can't have historical cause and effect in a rational manner like this.. where's my smut? WHERE ARE MY TORRID PENISES?
Me: Hee! I'm getting there, I'm getting there. Come on, you knew this would turn into a marginally serious project eventually. (However, I learned yesterday that the plural of penis is penes.)
Mer: I think I just lost my taste for penes. Only because that is the DUMBEST plural ever. Stupid Romans.
Lost her taste for... nah, it's too easy.
