Fictional Affair


Texsox

Recommended Posts

I was just reading a Woody Allen essay in which he describes a magical box that allowed someone to travel into any novel and have an affair. The protagonist in his essay chose Emma Bovery from Falubert's Madam Bovery. That seems like a really good choice. He was also allowed to pick the chapter.

 

Who would you pick?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by Fictional Affair. Are you saying you travel into the book to have an affair with the people in said book?

 

If so...

 

I would immediately write a novel containing Emma Watson, Jennifer Lawrence, and Kate Upton. I'm sure there are many others I'd be including in the second book. ;)

I would create a fictional woman who has the exact body of Kate Upton, but paler skin and natural red hair.

I would do exactly as stated then.

 

I'd write my own novel containing those three women in the first book...

 

Emma Watson, because.

 

Jennifer Lawrence, because she's Americas answer to Emma Watson.

 

And Kate Upton. Because shes Kate Upton.

 

It's a series of 1000 books, btw...book 1 is just the beginning of the story. ;)

Tex is trying to have an intellectual conversation about women with a bunch of horny 18-39 year old guys. You can see how that's working out.

 

Pretty sure I'm the only "serious" response (quoted because the others are serious, just not in the vein that Tex was looking for).

 

It's an interesting topic to think about quite frankly. It's also making me jog through the old memory trying to remember books and stories I've actually read where I had some semblance of not only sympathy or agreement, but downright attraction to the character.

On the contrary, my response was quite serious.

I know. I said that. Your book isn't already written and famous though. It may be soon, in which case we can have this discussion again, and about 99.9% of heterosexual males will be in full agreement with you.

YOU are not allowed to use my book for this purpose. Or any of it's 999 sequels.

Disagree. I do not find Jennifer Lawrence that attractive.

Hermione and Katniss, there I just saved you a ton of time writing books. You're welcome.

Those are in separate books.

 

I've taken them, as adults, and put them together along with Kate Upton making it awesome.

 

Also...Heromine is like 8. :P

This is an interesting topic. I'm an avid reader, and there have been plenty of times I've found a character to be desirable. I'm sure I'm missing some, but a couple would be:

 

Esperanza Diaz from Harlan Coben's Myron Bolitar series

- Athletic, smart mouth, former female pro wrestler

Maggie O'Dell from Alex Kava's series

- Attractive dark-haired Irish FBI agent

Oddly enough, Victoria McQueen from Joe Hill's NOS4A2

- Feisty woman who might or might not be crazy who takes on The Gasmask Man and Charles Manx

 

I like the idea of writing a book with some women of my choice, too. I'd include Jennifer Lawrence, Megan Boone, Olivia Munn, and maybe Sarah Shahi.
