I'd love to help, but as I mentioned earlier, I'm still pretty new to erotica. Though if I come across anything, I'll be sure to send it to you.

That sounds interesting! I do want a pair of high topped boots, or should I say hubby wants me to own a pair of them. So I can only imagine.

Good observation, txymxy (glad I don't have to pronounce that!) Now that I come to think of it, my favorite thing about the book was the way the kinks seemed so, well, natural for the characters as Austen had written them.

Hmm, well, if you want depictions of women, that's one thing--Fanny Hill, The Pearl, other that escape my leaky brain just now. But depictions of women _by_ women, or at least of real women rather than male fantasies, are another matter. Anias Nin is one writer to check out, but I'm sure you knew that. And Colette, although she wasn't as explicit.

I have a random but semi-related question: does anyone know anything about the history of written erotica? specifically from the industrial revolution forward? I'm planning on writing a book about the depictions of women throughout the modern history of written erotica and am striking out at research so far. If anyone could point me in the direction of some resources or a good starting point, esp anything online for right now as I cant really go to the library for the next week or 2, that'd be amazing.

I think what I'm most interested in about this book is seeing the match-ups of character to kink. For me, that's the most satisfying part of parodies, seeing how the original character wasn't just changed, but developed along the same kind of path they were already traveling. And of course it's triple interesting when that development is sexual

They are hard to find. I love boots but being in texas pretty much the only ones you can find are cowboy boots. There are some pretty hot ass-jacker cowboy ones though lol.

Yup, Anais is one I'm rereading as we speak. Colette I hadn't thought of. I guess what I mean by depictions is how in erotica have women been depicted? What roles do they play? What stereotypes does erotica help break or build? Etc.

There's a subgenre of books that takes on famous works from the viewpoint of a different character. Well, maybe subgenre is overstating it, since I can only think of one right now, Gone with the Wind becoming The Wind Done Gone from the viewpoint of a female slave, although I'm sure there are a few others. That one got a big law suit going, because Margaret Mitchell's heirs objected and the book is still under copyright. It's safer to back farther and be sure your choice is in the public domain.
