God, no... nor would i want to have sex with someone else who was sick - really, all i want is to be left alone when i'm not feeling well.
Nikki - I Did Not See A Porn Movie Until I Was 33
TRUE!
I have slept with more men then women.
what is a romantic evening for Britney Spears?
The Queen of Heart at the zoo.
i think your intent matters here, too... did you just want to say hello, and get back in touch, with no agenda, or are you looking to rekindle a romance? if the former, i'd just say hi, wish her a happy bday, see where it goes from there - but yeah, don't be looking for more - she's married, you've both changed, there might be good memories, but she's not going to just drop everything and come rushing back to you. no expectations. of course, if you say hi, and she suddenly is on a flight out there, her suit case full of astro-glide... enjoy yourselves!
some thoughts here: personally, i find that i'm a better writer when i write something i know and love - you'd think this is obivous, that we should stick to those subjects, but then, we take a look around us and think "vampire romances are selling! i could make a mint writing one'. but i DO think that it shows on the written page if someone doesn't have a passion for it - yes, you can get excited about a new genre, and want to write it, but it takes digging into it, getting imersed into it, falling in love with it to write an exceptional story - i do like tackling new things, but certain genres, subjects, i shy away from - a good example: historical fiction. i love historical ficton, reading it, that is - thing is, the best of it is written by people who've studied that time period and setting, they know it, not just in general, but the nuances, such as hair styles, slang, customs, the language, and it shows - it takes a lot of research - you'd better have a passion for it.
also, things need to make sense, even made up things - fantasies create worlds, and yes, you can make up all sorts of things, but you'd better make your made up stuff seem logical. having a man eating dragon living out on a lonely island, far away from civilization, fine - having him living 3 miles from a small village? it makes no sense. you still have to do some research and apply real laws, unless there's a really good explanation or that's the style you're going for - armor is HEAVY, for example, and running 30 miles at full speed in plate mail is probably not going to happen unless you're a super hero or a cartoon character.
one of the things that will pull me right out of erotic stories is coming across passages that seem unreal or out of character - if i come across a sex act that is just not possible, or characters who do things that make no sense, it doesn't matter how hot a story it is, i just can't get past that.
examples? The chaste virgin who's never been with a man who is an expert cock sucker. having sex on a restuarant table and everyone gathering around in a circle to watch, never once making a fuss. lesbians who suddenly fall in lust with a guy. that kind of thing.
so yes, if you write romance, and want to genre cross, don't do it on the wing - Like Morgan said, pay attention to the rules of the genre you're crossing into, otherwise it's not going to work.
Life just wouldn't be the same.
