It was only a story, dumplings.

Tell that to the hormonal teenager.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

One does try. It may surprise some to know but I did not write the story to satisfy any issues of personal gratification.

If she has such a problem, she should speak to the one that commissioned it.

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

The problem is that nobody knows who commissioned it. If she knew who commissioned it, a lot of the anger would be off of you and onto that person.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I think she already knows who commissioned it.

You still writin' stories? Ain't too sure I like that, Mister.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Tell me, Charlie Prince, is there something that you enjoy doing that you could not imagine stopping?

The Boss. I MEAN...

[i-hate-posses.livejournal.com]

Sure. I could think of plenty of things.

Ain't been able to do a damned one of them since I got here.

He sees what you did there

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

So I notice 'the Boss' has resurfaced again, with a Warden, no less!

[autistic-genius.livejournal.com]

True, but it was quite blatantly about some individuals upon the Barge.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I wrote about an heiress by name of Clarice, her uncle Pedro, and a Merchant all living in La Coste.

Clearly no one on the Barge.

[autistic-genius.livejournal.com]

That's not how it's being interpreted.

[lilah-lawyer.livejournal.com]

Next time, have the heroine cry out, "Daddy," more.

There's a certain poetry to it.

[fractured-will.livejournal.com]

One that should never have been written to begin with.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

And who are you to judge such things?

[fractured-will.livejournal.com]

I'm merely stating my opinion.

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

It was a disgusting story.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Your point?

[mimic-peter.livejournal.com]

That it's offensive.

[tenthdoctorwho.livejournal.com]

Literature is literature, in my humble opinion, if that means anything.

Treading the line of slander is very fine though Marquis, as long as you're wary of the repercussions it brings.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

It's only slander if I claim that it actually happened.

This Doctor is apparently not bovvered by the Marquis's stories

[tenthdoctorwho.livejournal.com]

Hence why I said it was a fine line. As I said, literature is literature in my mind. No matter whether it's viewed as "pornographic" or not. All audiences are different, Marquis and it's obvious some will take to like it less than others.

However, I think it's a bit silly for everyone to be insanely up in arms about what you've written here. You clearly have a talent for the written word, just seems it's not everyone's cup of tea

[Andrew started writing his less-severe opinions of the story, then scribbled them out completely. He decided too late that if he admitted reading this, he might as well tell everyone about the dirty fan fiction he reads and sometimes writes. Which would be awkward seeing as some people from those fics are on the barge...]

I found it to be an enjoyable read meself. Don't see what all the fuss is about, really. S'pose some aboard may be a tad more prudish and sheltered than the more worldly individuals like meself.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Truly, Monsieur? And from where do you hail?

[sailing-sparrow.livejournal.com]

From the sea herself, mate. Spent most of me life aboard ships and been everywhere from the caribbean to the orient and back again enough to know that if you'd wanted, that story of yours could've been ten times more sordid than it was.

Singapore, mate. Don't think there's nothin' you can't get there from the right girl with the right amount of money.
