Kinsey 2 and other issues

[valarltd]

So I'm writing this story. The character will be bisexual in later works, but right now he still thinks his orientation is human-opposite. The lady he's taken home has turned out to be a drag queen. I'm trying to convince him it's time for that first sanesex encounter. He's being... Balky, as only that particular muse can be.

Onward. Sparkle may have to do some fast talking.

Curious indeed that your muse is moping & balking then, as this story (supposedly) already happened and helped lead up to his present tense.

Maybe it's the drag queen thing?
Not necessarily how many men might like to learn they have a thingie with and/or for other guys. Maybe this is just a little too over the top for him?

Sparkle is also taking a terrible chance, going home with a man who is not aware that she is actually a he. If this encounter goes wrong once certain things are revealed to be not at all as advertised, Sparkle could easily end up (literally) kicked to the curb and be left to find his own way home... or Sparkle could end up on the business end of a knife or a gun, as few things are more humiliating for het's then being shown they can't tell the difference between a man and a woman. This is a real good way for a queen to get killed or seriously beat up, or maybe disfigured so he will never be able to pass for a she ever again without major cosmetic surgery.

Entering a home under false pretenses grants the home owner leeway to deem Sparkle as an intruder, and that then legally allows for taking defensive action so the home owner could not be charged with assault & battery or attempted/actual murder afterwards. The home owner's word against the queen's, most cops are not going to give too much credibility to the guy wearing the dress.

Maybe take a page from Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), and Sparkle directs your muse to something maybe more his speed, before things might degenerate into anything ugly once certain truths are discovered about what all ain't underneath that dress.

It isn't a home. So home-owner law does not apply. American law doesn't apply. Earth law doesn't even apply. It's a well-manicured, well-policed planet on a holiday where drag queens and kings are features, not bugs. (think Mardi gras or 12th night)

I got him over the problem. It was more holiday moping than hang-up. (he has a thing for fem looking men. The next guy gets called a girl/mistaken for a girl several times.)

We're almost to the end here. Less than 1000 words.
Big difference between writing 5000 words and editing 50,000.
