Like you, I find it works best in an "outside of reality" setting. Aliens, werewolves, demons can live by their own set of rules. *g*charlenetegliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14061754720849284938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37096942.post-74917033433655798532008-03-18T15:01:00.000-04:002008-03-18T15:01:00.000-04:00Thanks for the advice, after all who better to adv...Thanks for the advice, after all who better to advise than the author herself?

What a great concept, brothers competing sexually to win the heroine. Yeah, baby. Sign me up for a trip to that reality! <BR/><BR/>You are so right about how difficult it is to write menages because they are not readily accepted or even occur very often in our society.
