It is time for further explorations of today’s “You asked for it…<\/a>” theme, via flash fiction on a Friday<\/a>: \"317440697_ad6e519f2e_m.jpg\"<\/p>\n\n

\nJai: As someone recently mentioned on the News tab, this blog is screaming for a Bad Sex in Fiction-themed 55Friday, like a man and woman simultaneously exploding in a 2000-gigaton thermonuclear detonation of desire and mutually-assured destruction, the mushroom cloud of their passion suffusing the bedroom like acid rain in a post-apocalyptic nuclear winter.<\/blockquote>\n\n
Pooja: \nA N N A did respond to my suggestion with a “Hell, yes!”
We’re waiting… ;).[linky<\/a>]<\/blockquote>\n\n

Wait no longer, my pets (though allegedly, if you do<\/em> it’s that<\/em> much better)– the porntastic version of 55Friday<\/a> is here. Jai and Pooja? Membership has its privileges, because this DJ doesn’t always take requests. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n

For those of you who are utterly confused as to what we three book-lovin’ pervs are going on about, Ennis wrote a post entitled “Good Writers Finish Last<\/a>” about a dubious competition–the Literary Review’s Bad Sex in Fiction Award<\/a>— which inspired the comments you see quoted above.<\/p>\n\n

Now in its 14th year, the award is given to the passage considered to be the most redundant in an otherwise excellent novel…\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
\nThe judges said the award’s mandate is “to draw attention to the crude, tasteless, often perfunctory use of redundant passages of sexual description in the modern novel, and to discourage it”. [linkypoo<\/a>]<\/blockquote>\n\n

Hopefully you still have enough stamina to mount an attempt at some 55age, though I know some of you must be exhausted<\/em> from all of that passion expended over on the “size matters<\/a>” thread. You may write total fiction, obscure some, ahem, non-fiction or use Mutineers or anyone else you please in your nanofiction. Come now, it can’t take you all that long to recover. \ud83d\ude09 After all a 55-word story is nothing but a quickie. You’ll be done (and so very satisfied) before you know it.:+:<\/p>\n\n

A note about our theme song:<\/p>\n\n

1) I’m referring to IWYS part one<\/em>; appositely enough, it had some of the most cringe-inducing lyrics ever and I’m someone who had pictures of Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou up in my locker Freshman year, so you know if I’m<\/em> dissing it…<\/p>\n\n

2) This is a bit of a departure for our 55s– I usually pick songs which I love, which meant something to me (and often, still do).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
