Title: Do you have a favorite time period? Post by: Daphne on May 11, 2019, 03:20:44 pm Do you have a favorite (Eurocentric, for this poll) time period for your stories? You can vote for up to three, and comments are welcome below, of course!
Title: Re: Do you have a favorite time period? Post by: Haight on May 11, 2019, 04:37:57 pm I think it's missing the "space opera" option. I picked Antiquity and Medieval along with "other" for that reason.
I think there's something about combining erotic fantasies with a fantastical setting that I find enjoyable. Title: Re: Do you have a favorite time period? Post by: raven on May 13, 2019, 12:53:46 am I'm also a big fan of space operas!
Title: Re: Do you have a favorite time period? Post by: mi_english on May 13, 2019, 08:36:53 am I voted for no preference, as I don't think the time period influences my interest. That being said, I think the future offers more options for the method of mind control, and could introduce non-human elements (aliens, etc). I don't recall you asking about, or doing much squick, but there is certainly a market for it.
Anyway, the time period is immaterial for me; its the method and degree of control I have interest in. Title: Re: Do you have a favorite time period? Post by: redsimonde on May 13, 2019, 09:01:12 am I voted Renaissance because it's got the hottest dresses. 8)
Title: Re: Do you have a favorite time period? Post by: Daphne on May 13, 2019, 09:18:30 am I voted Renaissance because it's got the hottest dresses. 8) There's a lot to be said for that.

*Googles Louie the XIV* Shit dude, I've never read any Age of Discovery porn. Extra vote from me for some pornographic shenanigans set in the court of the Sun King. Title: Re: Do you have a favorite time period? Post by: ozymandias on May 17, 2019, 10:57:57 am Victorian Steampunk. But a whole lot depends on the artist. James LeMay nailed the feel in Animal Magnetism, though that comic lacks the cool SFnian steampunk thing.
I really enjoyed the noir look of Queen of Angels; that would do very nicely for retro London. And future gritty London, or Paris. Title: Re: Do you have a favorite time period? Post by: radouigi on May 17, 2019, 01:03:58 pm I am fan of any historical setting to get something a little different than every day (I voted Medieval/faux-medieval and Victorian--where Steampunk is very fun) but my third vote was for Modern Day because sometimes the other things going on in the story (super powers, unearthed artifacts, strange creatures, etc.) cover the "something a little different" just fine on their own and are fun to contrast against the familiar.
Though the other comments including for Space Opera (which I love and hadn't even thought of) all also make compelling cases. I guess I actually like them all.

Post by: snivgrits on June 11, 2019, 10:42:26 am I enjoy jumping from period to period. The more surprising the story, the better.
