But Snacky should be pleased at least. . She was convinced that William and Julia will break a significant amount of it with their newlywed escapades until I pointed out that their home will be filled with furnishings made of good Canadian hardwood, so not easily broken! hahaha ROFL!!!! I'm just joking about the furniture! And I believe you about the sturdy Canadian carpentry.  Can't wait to take a peek. I see hints of tie action, but can't look now.  |

And not in a violent way either-I don't think he'd ever hurt her-but in a raw, primal, pin her hands over her head and take charge sort of way. He loses that veneer of a good Victorian for just a few minutes, and it's because Julia pushes him into it. Even then, Julia is in full control because she teased him to act this way. Totally agree on that.  |

I can see this happening: lots of insinuation and coded language, while William absolutely can't leave because the Mayor is there are something. She better let him drive when they get home. She will-because as much as she likes being on top, she likes it when he takes charge as well. But seriously, this is why I should never write actual smut-just allude to it. LOL  Same. |

Can I picture Julia being that bold? I can't picture Julia NOT being bold! She's a Woman of Action!  |

This has been enlightening on so many levels not the least of which I have identified fellow writers on fanfiction.net. Very interesting.
On he subject of lingerie, even in the Victorian era women who could afford it did wear exquisite lingerie quite often make of silk with ribbons and lace.
The trend increased during the Edwardian era and I can see Julia wearing the very latest in fine lingerie sans corset under a long kimono style robe. Although it is hard to imagine, Edwardian fashion trended toward minimizing the number and volume of women's clothes. The silhouette became less curvy--the use of bustles faded during this period and corsets became smaller. Although there certainly were full skirts and large sleeves on Edwardian era dresses they were not as overdone as they had been in the previous century. Fashion began to rely on the cut and drape of the fabric more than the sometimes heavy adornment of Victorian fashion.
William will prove to be an equal to Julia in the bedroom. And the living room. Dining room. Entrance hall. ...
Sorry, my mind was wandering. That's my two cents worth for now.

This show is good about inspiring that kind of thought. |

That's a very interesting way of putting it. I know little about fashion: thanks for explaining how it works! hahahaha, I can't believe you said that! |

So I updated it. It's umm...well...basically it embarrassed me to write it. I can't read it yet, but from the first part, and from the Emily sapphist story, it seems to me that you'd handle things in a decorous manner, but your videos also argue a lot of sophistication in that regard. I certainly look forward to it, and I'm sure it will be better without the broken furniture. |

But Snacky should be pleased at least. OMG I snuck a very fast peek, and I saw a zipper as well as a tie, hahahaha. It's not what I imagined at all, but I liked it! I look forward to rereading it at a more leisurely pace. It's still weird for me to read "Murdoch" instead of William when I tend to think of him as the "first person" protagonist/narrator of the series. Even if the story is in third person, I would think of it as heavily subjective weighed toward William's POV. I forgot the term for it, but there is actually some literary term for that. Not nearly enough time was spent on the zipper!  In the third chapter I wasn't sure about William getting so invested in the game/scenario that he would go too far. He certainly did deserve what happened to him! Is that my punishment for rejecting the notion of William and Julia needing safe words?  That ending was perfect.  |

I dunno...the books always refer to him as Murdoch and to me it's weird to call him William unless it's from Julia's POV. Anyway, this is just going to be a repeat of a previous conversation we had so I won't say anymore. Just be glad it was in there at all, it was more of an afterthought on my part. In my mind I justified it by him being drunk and not really 'himself'. It was way worse in my first draft. I'm glad I toned it down. Glad you liked it! For some reason that took me forever to write...I was trying to find actual erotic books to refer to (besides kama sutra) but I couldn't seem to find anything so I just did this very vaguely. |
