In Monster Research part 1, I talked a little about how I came up with the monster for The Wicked Woods. Monsters are great but y’all really want to know about the monster cocks, don’t you?
That’s cool. Because I have research for that. (Kinda. I have a process for researching. Oh, you’ll see.)
The way I look at it, fantasy has to be somewhat grounded in reality. Yeah, I know I’m saying this in relation to monster erotica. Bear with me. (Whenever I write that, I imagine a bear standing behind me, arms raised, growling at people.)
For me, it makes sense that a werewolf’s junk will share some traits with a regular canine’s — namely the general shape and the ability to knot. So, research. Because looking at dog penises and trying to find a way to make them sexy is FUN. And also a little embarrassing when your family walks in on you.
But that’s not the point.
Grounding in reality. If I were reading a story where a werewolf had a cock that had the characteristics of an elephant’s, I’d be totally confused. Unless of course that was explained within the story somehow. If that’s the case, power to the author.
Do you see where I’m going with this?
In book 3, I get to tackle a dragon. Not literally. I went to an online sex store that specializes in fantasy dildos for the dragon. Just to give myself some ideas. (I’m pretty sure that’s the equivalent of someone saying they picked up Playboy for the articles, isn’t it? Don’t answer that.)
Book 4 will answer the age old question “How do mermen have sex?” I haven’t started researching that one yet, but I have a pretty good idea what direction I’ll be taking it in. (Man, why does everything I write sound so filthy right now? Don’t answer that!)
There you have it. Monster erotica is more than just throwing a monster at someone and letting them bone away.
As you’re reading Ari’s different encounters remember — I RESEARCHED this stuff. Kind of.
