why is it that a day of internetlessness always feels more like a month?

[lotesse]

But it's amazing how much writing I get done when the net is taken away from me. So.

I have a burning question about my current work in progress. Because Holmes fandom somehow inevitably brings out my inner kinkstress, I'm writing preseries teen!Holmes crossdressing fic. And I'm at a crossways moment - it can go two ways. Either this is a gen Mycroft-and-Sherlock fic exploring identity, fluidity, and what it's like being the family of/ being someone Different.

Or it's a really filthy incest fic with added corset!kink.

Also, in writing this I've discovered that I've never seen a film - or even a good arty photoshoot - with a boy in a corset before. Lots of girls crossdressing, but nothing the other way around. And I waaaaaant it like fire. Can anyone recommend anything, moving or still? (a lacing-up scene would be my undoing, I swear to heaven.)

By "boy" do you mean a young boy or does it include men? Because there's a scene like that in Stiff Upper Lips, which movie I think you should see ANYWAY because it's just that hilarious. It's a parody of Merchant/Ivory and similar Edwardian costume dramas, starring a bunch of actors who are *in* Merchant/Ivory and similar Edwardian costume dramas.

Haven't seen it - but now I really want to! Top of the list. Thanks.

[lotesse]

xploring identity, fluidity,

I'm so interested in this bit - my studies have corrupted me!

[lotesse]

I love that we're being "corrupted" into NOT writing pornography; such is the postmodern condition!

[fyrefly101]

Well, there was that. But then your poll had 3 options, and who turns down the potential for porn? Hence, opting for both.... :D

[lotesse]

Oh, I get it, make me wooooork. *whinges*

The Rocky Horror Picture Show has numerous boys in corsets! Although, in a more serious vein, so does Stage Beauty.

[lotesse]

*claps hand to head* how did I not remember RHPS? Maybe it slipped my mind because I *am* thinking more seriously, and RHPS is the glorious epitome of high camp.

I'd forgotten that there was corsetry in Stage Beauty - will have to rewatch. Thanks for the reminder.

I voted for both, because I couldn't decide.

This post removes my temptation to comment on your last post saying "write more plz nao" handily, though. :)

"Topsy-Turvy"- though it probably won't inflame you with desire :)

Alan Cumming in a corset, FYI. (Note: post also contains spoilers for The Good Wife and Castle, if you care about those, but that link should take you direct to cut tag for the picspam.)
