In the name of research

I love doing a thorough bit of research, even for inconsequential points within a story. When I was writing the 'Wet Dates' series of eBooks earlier this year, I researched planning laws and licensing for strip clubs and Googled the types of questions that you might ask when interviewing a stripper. It took me a couple of days mulling over what the club should be called, and I gave up coming up with something unique as all the names I could think of were real clubs somewhere around the world. Goodness knows what Google and the Feds thought I was up to.

*Laughs* For 'Seeing Red', having settled on a Mercedes S 600 Pullman Guard for an armoured limousine, I then Googled how best to go about killing someone inside it.

The Horrors Persist
Well, my search history is filled with everything from edgeplay (things that challenge SSC) and regular BDSM. I'm into it myself but not all of the niches and more hardcore practices. Lots of different browsing for certain toys. I've also looked into Laws regarding sex work. My most normal/but incredibly important research has been to find images of people who fit the image of the character. I like to imagine my character, and I have a folder of hairstyles. Dates for when certain music/films came out is also useful for me. My book/series is spanning around 13 years.

I just looked up the plural of "rectum".

(Go on, you know you want to...)

GrushaVashnadze's best stories:
Alison Goes to London (RR) - “A unique - and uniquely filthy - work of the imagination... Consider me sold.” (Jaymal)
The Cursed Cunt (RR) - "holyyyyy sheeeiiit.... Your writing is fucking fantastic" (CarltonStJames)
Snow White and the Seven Dildos (RR) - “Absurd genius… Brilliant.” (StarBelliedBoy)
Metamorphoses (RR) - “Your cultured filth is such a treat and the craft in this is sublime.” (CuriousAnnie)
And the rest are here.

Ha! Just looked it up myself! I won't spoil it.

I have recently looked up if an ambulance would come to take away a dead body, or some other type of vehicle. And who would come to investigate if you reported a dead body. I've said too much already.

I wish. I'm a little burnt out on erotica. I'll return, not quite yet.

Today I spent a LONG time researching what cow teeth look and feel like.

Cow's teeth? Okay...

Lol, I know what you mean about burnout but your writing is so seductive, you must write more. However, in the meantime, stories involving cow's teeth sound thoroughly intriguing

Hiya, Katie here. Laughing at myself because I took this to mean research in the sexual department, not so much with Google. I let Hubby do the googling, while my research revolves around pleasing a few ladies and proudly sucking as many cocks as I can. Life is good!!

And of course, there's this: https://forum.lushstories.com/yaf_postst68879_The-research-rabbit-hole.aspx

Still deep in that rabbit hole. I've been working bits and bobs into stories, but most of the directly themed stories are still either partial rough drafts or just notes files at this point. Haven't written anything in a couple of months, but just picked up a multi-chapter fantasy story I was working on, finished 3 and started 4. Still not sure how many chapters that one's going to be. Just brought in a fan-favorite ( elsewhere, fantasy doesn't do squat here LOL ) character from a previous story this one is connected to that should tickle regular readers. I know she's making me smile.

The last thing I can remember looking up was actually for that story. I was digging into old methods of making bricks. Oddly enough, one of the oldest remaining brickworks in the country was nearby, ( unfortunately, recently closed ) and I popped on by to take a peek through the fence and get a little better view than the pictures could show. Most of it won't make it into this, but those nuggets are floating around, ready to go if I ever need them.

Weirdest in terms of the rest of the world or in terms of erotica?
Some of the stuff in my research would make them freak out, but people here wouldn't bat an eyelid at.
There's also what Abigail said about inconsequential points. I love to make sure if I mention a date relevant details are correct, maybe the weather or what was on TV if they sat and watched a film.
If you read something like that in a story of mine, usually, it's accurate.
Possibly the most in depth I went with this was 2019's Halloween competition entry, Royal Moon, dates, times and locations of Lunar eclipses over twenty some years... along with myths and lore.

The most unusual I would say was for another competition, fetish this time, nebulophilia.

I did a lot of research into laws around the world for one of my stories and the law has reared its head again in my latest, along with research into BDSM.

I have fallen into the rabbit hole many times, starting with one thing and ending up goodness only knows where.
