Little rant

Please, publishers (general but I have a clear name in mind...) if you release a story where a woman is having a lot of sex with two men, please, please, don't try to pass it as a M/M, please don't put it under the "gay/lesbian" genre... if you are really convinced that the gay romance or M/M romance is a passing fashion, and that the future is a menage between a woman and two men, so, be true to your claim, and use your "menage a trois or more" genre, and let the "poor" gay romance alone in their "reserve".

If you are wondering why I'm ranting, well, enough to say that I just read an unbelievable blurb tagged as M/M...

LOL But then also Trilly has wings, and she is sexy! Anyway this "sprouting wings" thing seems to generate more hilarity than interest :-)

I tend to get technical, thinking about the mechanics of the activity. One partner with wings, on top... okay. Both partners? Unless they mate like eagles, on the wing (tricky to manage indoors,) somebody's likely to wind up with some damaged primaries. I'd rather write stories where the lovin' is so good both partners feel like they're flying.

This reminds me an English writer (Jules are you listening me...) who got techinical when writing a sex scene with shapeshifter dolphin... reading that scene I was fearing that one of the partner was drowning! Anyway she gave all the right reason for the scene to be like that. Moral: if you write something be prepared to justify it! Elisa
