Kind of disappointed

[kestrell]

I experienced a momentary surge of excitement when I read the title of this new parody of _Fifty Shades of Gray_ called
_Fifty Shames of Earl Grey_
by Andrew Shaffer and Fanny Merkin; somehow I imagined it as being about a tea-drinking librarian who gets romantically involved with a wicked and witty writer with more than a passing resemblance to Orson Welles, and gets drawn into his world of crazy writers and meglomaniac publishers, while he indulges her naughty fantasies involving library ladders in the rare books stacks.

When oh when will someone write the classic erotic novel for bibliophiles?

The movie The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover is more on the order of a tragedy, but the middle section is a bibliophilic romance - a lot of hiding out in the library, doing erotic things on piles of books, eating great food and reading bits of poetry. But you are right that this needs to get written purely as a romance. I'll write it if we can kickstarter it to get me some free time to write in?
