Among my feedback messages I had a request for an older woman in my stories - he wanted her to be in her 50s or 60s. That sparked off my story Nurse Colwell and the Colonel.
That got me thinking: what about a really old woman? Bony, wrinkled, rheumatic ... Could such a one get it off with a young man in his prime? The more usual 'May / December' format is the decrepit old man taking on a nubile young woman. In my story Gaygan and Clive I reversed that and I wondered how the idea seems to the readers. In the short time since it was published the story has attracted a reasonably favourable rating (4.64 from 14 votes) but how does it come across? Is the idea realistically viable or does it leave you having to suspend belief to accept the scenario?
