Shannon, LOL! I hear you on the not normal aspect. I guess I just don’t see the point of being overtly rude to anyone (stranger or not). Unless someone prods me, I won’t bite. I think that’s why it always shocks me when someone is overtly rude to me.

I would have probably opted for a beat down at the bike rack style of clocking…*blush* Just because you write about something doesn’t necessarily mean it happened to you. It’s fiction people! I don’t understand why people are embarrassed by sex or sex scenes it’s perfectly natural and delicious thank you very much. I enjoy many authors from erotica to plain jane and really it’s about the story and the sex scenes working together for me. I can’t imagine opening up to someone I’d never met, even if they were my favorite author. I would never say things like that it’s just not normal.

Tracy, I’m sorry. I should’ve probably been more specific about the zodiac sign. *g* As for clocking her with a chair, I did in my mind right after I called her on it. Does that count? LOL!

Saskia, It makes me more cautious who I tell period, unless I’m feeling saucy and want to shock people. (wg) I wasn’t published when I was working the day job, so I didn’t get a chance to see co-workers reactions. I’m sure they would’ve been interesting. Kind of makes me wish that I would’ve stuck it out just a few months longer. ;P

Raine, I’ve had a few reactions like your co-worker gave you…minus the quiet part. I doubt anyone will EVER accuse me of being quiet (and I have the report cards to prove it;). The comments I received were ‘I didn’t know you knew that kind of language’ and ‘I’ll never look at you the same again’. *ggg*

As for the creepy delivery guy, he left himself wide open for the question, “Why, are the words too big for you to understand?”

Now I’m laughing, thinking about you standing up and clocking her with a chair! LOL!

Oh, Chinese sign of the snake. I was confused because I didn’t remember the zodiac having a snake. Now I want to find out what chinese sign I am.

It’s a phenomenon, to be sure. I think it’s maybe because sex is an intimate thing, so what we write HAS to be our intimate confessions ;-))) Blokes are always lairy about it, so whether I tell men depends whether I’m in a taunting mood or not. ;-}

I’ve mostly had positive intrigued reactions, but back when I was first getting short stories published I worked with a woman who was what I’d call a “ladette,” usually had a couple of men on the go etc, (at the same time,) but she was so morally shocked that i wrote erotica LOL She treated me really different afterwards. Like it’s okay to do it, but writing it down is somehow perverted. It just didn’t compute for me…. Shrug. Made me a bit more cautious about who I told in the workplace.
