rheasilviaWhen I was talking to a friend's husband yesterday, the following conversation ensued...
FH: What kind of things do you write?
Me (accurate yet sneakily evasive): Fantasy, mostly.
FH: Not gruesome horror, or bloody crime?
Me: ...gruesome horror?
FH: It's just that you look so virtuous / well-behaved / upright.
(There's no good one-word translation for the term he used, but sadly FH is correct: I do indeed look like this. It's tragic. But occasionally helpful, particularly when robbing banks and/or writing m/m porn.)
FH: I figured you had to be writing some particularly gruesome horror or bloody crime fiction, looking like that.
Me: Well, there is an erotic element.
FH: Ha! I knew it!
I like this guy. ;-)
