Things found while trying to research other things:

So I was browsing the internet--an activity I am beginning to think I should avoid--looking for examples of fiction or art by women who go all swoony over doctors (disclosure: I am, ironically, not one of these.)

And I found these links, which are, I warn you, NSFW.

This site is for those of us who like to see gas being used to sedate others. This site is for what? Well, there you go: The Gasman's Sleeping Gas Site proves that there are still things out there that I've never heard of.

I can't help being reminded of horror movies when I see this: Welcome to Medical Fetish Clinic. It sounds like someplace you'd end up on a stormy night after taking a really wrong turn, doesn't it?
It has personal ads. I am trying to work up the nerve now to click an ad and find out what a "fully experienced play doctor" has to offer, exactly.

I confess: it worries me that some of the things these people want done, I know how to do. It is profoundly disconcerting to see skills I was taught in an entirely prosaic setting turned into somebody else's fantasy. Don't get me wrong: they are more than welcome to their kinks. It's not that I disapprove; it's just jarring to see something that's filed in my head under 'boring but useful skill sets' used as the basis for erotica. It's every bit as baffling as Arthur Munby, really.

Numbered post: Music, Men, and LDTK

1. I found this via Mosellegreen, an internet friend, and I love it: All My Internet Friends.
There are those who say I spend a little too much time online
Sometimes I agree, but on the whole I think I’m doing fine
Click, buzz
I feel strong because
All my internet friends are here with me

2. I've had an interesting suggestion that I set up an author page at CoverDoll, which probably does make sense.

3. Also, the 2009 Men on a Mission Calendar is on sale, for anyone who might be interested.

ZOMBIES

I am having a sudden craving for zombies (that came out wrong--I don't mean as canapes or anything; I'm just in the mood to watch zombie movies and read zombie fiction). This must be a side effect of missing North American Halloween.

So, dear people, I will be immeasurably grateful for zombie commentfic, even if it is only a sentence or two long. I particularly like real person zombies: Ayn Rand, Vladimir Putin, Sarah Palin. Okay, it is admittedly difficult to picture Sarah Palin as a zombie, but I can totally picture as the plucky heroine defending her Alaskan town from, say, zombie!Putin. SOMEONE WRITE THAT.
