I'm a writer of erotic fiction, mostly of a paranormal/fantasy bent. Welcome to my Blog! Adults only please ... you know the drill. All commenters welcome. All text copyright Janine Ashbless unless otherwise stated.
I like the cartoons, but the ones I've seen I've found a wee bit... tame? I'd like them a little edgier. But I've only seen them on and off in the paper, maybe.
It's interesting - We saw a Nemi graphic novel version in Sweden once (couldn't read it, of course) and it was anything but tame - as I remember, definitely adult and alt-lifestyle themed. I think we get the toned down version in our daily papers here.
But just having a self-aware female protagonist (written by a woman) who goes lustily after many blokes and is happy not to be in a "relationship" and rejects all the conventional trappings of respectablity, whilst retaining her own integrity ... that's a breath of fresh air.
Ah, right, see, the ones I've seen just seem to be styling her as a bored and cynical goth teen, fed up with mainstream life. I can see how much more potential it has.

Can't argue with that one, no.
