Female Lit authors: How much unsolicited sexual advances have you dealt with as a result of your writing?

[AlexBailey]

I wonder if anyone has written a gay David and Goliath fanfic about their relative lengths and girths

How would it sound written in biblical terms?

 

[Djmac1031]

Oh, you want nails. Michelangelo can deliver...

Funny. I always figured since Jesus was asexual, he was probably smooth like a Ken doll down there.

Funny enough, Suzanne Vega has a song about David & Goliath, and this is part of the chorus:

And what's so small to you
Is so large to me

Take that how you will...

I’ll have to look for that Suzanne Vega song . I love “The Queen and the Soldier”. “She wanted more than she ever could say…..”

Double entendres in song

A gay story about Michelangelo and his model though...

"Giuseppe! I can't sculpt you with you cock looking like that!

(And has this thread gone off the rails)

Double entendres in song

It's "Rock in this Pocket (Songs of David)" from 99.9F

 

[AlexBailey]

My first understanding of a double entendre was from the song “Jennifer Juniper” by Donovan.

“Jennifer Juniper, longs for what she lacks.”

 

[StillStunned]

I was raised with Benny Hill and the Carry On movies. Double entendres were part of mastering English.

I don't know any show ever beautifully played with language as much before or since.

Rewatches are just context gymnastics joy.

The first 3 seasons are the most perfect TV ever made.

 

[StillStunned]

I don't know whatever show this is, but I'll counter with Blackadder.

Fan edits can help at least reach a truce with 4's shooting schedule forced problems. But very little ensemble scenes creeps has it creep in the back of your mind.



Glad 5 exists but combination of actors being away from their character's nuance so long and my crippling inability to say goodbye no matter how good of a send off makes it super bittersweet.

Blackadder is more sniper headshots.

Arrested is machine gun spray of wordplay, double entendres, culture jokes, in gags, call backs (G.O.A.T.) and the like.

It's seamlessness of orchestration of all that is unlike anything I've ever experienced. Even in a two hour movie let alone a 3 season show.

 

[StillStunned]

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Meh, is it the same type of humor as The Office? Some of my friends were swearing by that show, and when I saw that the show had sky-high ratings on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes I eagerly started watching it, but it never worked for me really. It was just too... not funny. I've never seen this one, so I must ask.

Different styles of humor between them.

I hate The Office, but love AD.

I appreciate the Office for what it was/is and I am glad I watched it but Michael being a bumbling moron really dragged on me. Early seasons are especially quarrelsome as the ensemble is in a onenote stage so rough edges are particularly sharp. When we get more dynamics, especially when "the accountants corner" gets regularly written into the frey, it gets so so much better.

I much prefer Parks and Rec even with its semi-frequent over the top saccharine vibes. It suffers the same deal. Season 1 doesn't find its footing or self-awareness of what it does best. But I can totally see why some are turned off. For me, when it clicked, it clicked hard. And still does (I'll rewatch it, not so much the Office.)

Arrested is its own beast. When I say I can't describe it, I mean it. It's truly absurd and you either adjust to it or you don't, but deconstructing the word play, if you love words as we do, can carry you through some otherwise eyeroll spots.

If it clicks, then you get to add the "callbacks" layer which is high comedy to me. I don't feel engaged to most tv like others seem to but Arrested sunk its claws in me and didn't let go.

Some of the references are now dated (think Iraq) but word and context manipulation is timeless.

It's my favorite tv show of all time. And #2 isn't particularly close.

 

[Voboy]

Comedy is subjective. AD has never seemed all that great to me, but I can see why other people love it.

Kinda like Lit stories.

Black Adder is quintessential British comedy. Many Americans won't get it at all.

The O.G. Office is for sure. The Americanized early Office tried a weird hybrid early on befitting the Isle of Doctor Moreau. It does improve by finding its own voice.

Also, the Brits are way better at not getting precious over ideas that work. So many American shows overstay their welcome.

Now I'll have to pour myself another drink to drown my guilt.

Wait, I just noticed that your thread was from before I joined. Phew!

So true: Fawlty Towers, 12 episodes; The Young Ones, the same.
