We dipped our pens in blood to write this one.

You writers and your weird kinks. 😜 It is odd that I have not gone to the vampire well, either here or on the other site. Used to love vampire stories and still consider Dracula one of my top ten novels. Just don't seem to grab me anymore. I did write one in my youth but it is long lost to history and would have to be rewritten from scratch and memory. And it was, in retrospect, boring. Most of it is the vampire recounting his backstory before chowing down on a couple (well, the husband is the chow, the wife is seduced and it is suggested that she will join in and become a vampire herself).

Here you go, Kimmi.

Cool. I did whale watching on my Alaska cruise. Love humpbacks.

Mr Ape, I slipped and fell on ice over fifteen years ago and still have shoulder pain from time to time. I just did rehab instead of surgery on my torn shoulder. Too bad I didn’t land on my ass. Got some extra padding back there.

My employer's president had a slip and fall earlier this winter and had to have surgery to set a bone just above her elbow. Cast is off but the brace is one of the wildest medical contraptions I have seen. Even has a gauge to measure her range of motion so she can measure progress of physio.

Usually the ceiling.

Now if it blows through the ceiling, then I will be impressed.😁

Quote by Just_A_Guy_You_Know

Mostly a tissue. Sometimes my bare hand or onto my chest/stomach if I'm lying on my back. Last time it was right onto the floor (it's tile, so easy to wipe up).

A lot of this holds true for me, too. Mostly onto the floor and drain in the shower, though. Makes clean up easy and I enjoy shower strokes.

Probably ski. My fear of going down at high speed is probably easier to handle than my fear of drowning.

Downhill ski or cross-country?

I have a bit of a thing for Russian redhead Jia Lissa among current ones so maybe her. If we go back a ways, Marilyn Chambers.

Would you sleep with/date a big name celebrity even knowing the paparazzi would be all over it?

I love looking at the old questions. The term is outdated, but not the type.

I suppose. I don't think I have heard the term used in 15 years or more so was surprised to see it come up.

Does anyone actually use the term "metrosexual" anymore? This thread is almost 15 years old.

Yuck. Ape hate freezing rain. Make ape slip and fall. We went though that on Boxing Day.

Dragon Ball is turning 40 this year. Whoop-whoop!!!

And this year marks 30 years since it first hit North America. 28 years since it debuted on Toonami.

Holy sheep. I was only 20 when it came out and 30 when it hit this side of the Pacific? Wow.

Never been much of an anime fan, to be honest. Has never clicked with me for some reason. I was a fan of Starblazers, which was the North American edit and English dub of Space Battleship Yamato (or something like that). Entertaining show but in retrospect, the idea of turning a sunken WWII battleship into a space cruiser is a tad weird and not sure it would engage me today. Otherwise, most of my attempts at watching anime and reading manga have bounced off hard. And that goes for hentai, too.

more properly their habits

Sounds like you had ... 😎 ... a bad habit. 😜

Hello. I'm the resident gorilla and the reason the bar serves banana daiquiris. 😊

The question for me is, amidst all that boinking, is there sufficient character development to make that last bullet make sense. If the "falling for guy 1" is a gratuitous payoff, that's a bigger problem than the tropes.

Oh man, now I have to do math. 🤣 I was 27.

If married, did you have a big formal ceremony? If not, would you want a big formal ceremony if you did?

Quote by JamesLlewellyn
Toronto got a record-breaking amount of snow yesterday – about 50 cm = 20". Plus they've had a record-breaking January for snowfall.

I saw that. Wow. We got the forecast 10-15cm. I saw 17 quoted for London but I shoveled and I am not sure it was that deep. But 50 is 😲🥶. Last time we had a storm like that was 2010 just before Christmas.

Yorkshire here as well.

If you are good with Jack and Jill fucking in a meadow, fine. I prefer to know WHY they are in the meadow.

Me as well. I find it hard to write a "stroke story". I keep thinking about the why too much.

Quote by LYFBUZ
Fond memories of Breaking the Law - I used to ride to school with a guy who's fav album was British Steel.

Wasn't much into metal yet back then but I remember seeing Priest videos on the local music TV station's "Power Hour". And I have been listening to the band occasionally nowadays. Rob Halford is still looking and sounding pretty good in his 70s. Sadly, original guitarist Glenn Tipton has Parkinson's so gave up touring other than a guest appearance or two.

Hmm. Western. Not a Western fan. Or are you referring specifically to Lush genres, in which case BDSM. Not my kink, though I did do some mild-middling bondage a couple times on my old profile.

What in a story makes you "throw the book against the wall", i.e. makes you give it up fuming rather than just stop reading?

Had my baggage sniffed by dogs at Detroit a couple times but never a personal search or phone search.

HYE been fired with or without cause?

Groups. Not a chat fan.

Romantic sex with a known partner or wild, anonymous hookup?

We get takeaway from the hot counters in Asian groceries a lot. Char siu or sweet and sour pork, lemon chicken, General Tso chicken, deep fried fish fillets and shrimp, and a few others.

For restaurant takeaway, we just lost our recent favourite Chinese place (owners closed up) where we used to get good black bean chicken and various dim sum items. We do occasionally get Viet-Thai from a place near us, beef pho (rice noodle soup), pad thai, BBQ pork w. vermicelli.

For work, I have a list of places where I go to pick up lunches, but my favourite is Osmow's, a Canadian chain specializing in Middle Eastern. So falafel, shawarma, etc. Love their falafel on pita wrap.

Quote by Katherine
A little truth goes a long way

I think this may almost be better writing advice that "Write what you know." A lot of us make stuff up in our stories. Some of us have things in our stories that don't even exist (demons, spirits, dragons, whatever). But it's those little bits of truth, the emotions that feel real, the moments that resonate, that often make a story successful. I don't always write what I know, but I do draw on life to make those moments happen. Perhaps writing what you feel matters, too.

I'm 60, balding, with a beard and chest hair shot through with white/grey. Some skin issues, too. So, yeah, I am probably pretty 60-looking.😀

Quote by Mandapanda2025

hmm. now there is challenge. can i pull off an MM scene?

I got Girl Girl down.. Back to Twain, write what you know.

I've done MM and FF. Twain notwithstanding, imagination and research count for something.

I have a quandry with the first story I mentioned above. I am finding the current ending too straightforward and pat, but any alternative gets weirdly complicated. Otherwise, it's pretty much good to go.

I have this playlist on Spotify that I'm liking. Loaded with odd and obscure rock, mainly from the seventies or late sixties. Thousands of songs and hundreds of hours so I can just throw it on shuffle while I am writing or web surfing.

I think we had already started using them even for between the thighs sex (yes, there's a non-zero risk even from that) so yes when we went to actual intercourse.

We are at the edge of the system so not as bad as some places. I'm fine but will have some serious shoveling to do tonight or tomorrow morning.

Do you ever wish you were living in the pre-Internet era?

Often but I'm not a violent person at heart, I just think it.

HYE been stopped for customs or immigration concerns while entering or leaving a country?

I use Nightcafe (and I think some others here do) but it has limits on "NSFW". Basically, depending on which of their models you use, you can do nudity to some degree but any physical contact between nude people or even in a suggestive scene seems to trigger them. But it's good for the first two. You can pretty much run on it for free as long as you do some of the activities they offer to earn credits. That said, if you're going to do a lot, then probably want to look at their plans. I have not had to go that route, yet, though.

I am not inclined to hate people but definitely was not happy.

HYE been led astray by a GPS or mapping app (e.g. Google Maps)?

I could write a book on how many Canadians just don't know how to drive in winter.

What non-erotic genre of fiction is your favourite?
