What is Erotic Fan Fiction, put simply it is witting your own story based on the characters or setting of someone has created. This is based on our article by Victoria Blisse.
Is it legal?Is it legal to create your own fan fiction? Turns out that is a tricky question. You need to understand copyright and how it is applied in your country.
Copyright in the UKSince 1995 Copyright is granted on all creative works up to 70 years after the authors death. At which point it becomes public domain. Before 1956 most content isn't copyrighted at all, but make sure you read the law before you do anything with them.
Some useful articles:
- Fanfiction: Creators, communities and copyright
- Copyright law of the UK (Wikipedia)
- Copyright and the value of the public domain
Correction: Almost entirely in the public domain
Because of a quirk in the copyright law (published before 1956) some of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories have been granted 95 year protections after the author died. That means 10 of the 56 Sherlock Holmes stories (published between 1923 - 1927) are actually still in copyright.
In 2013 this was challenged in a court in the US (and subsequently the US court of appeal) rejected the claim that having 10 stories still in copyright protects the entire character as wrong. It points out that only character traits adding in those final 10 stories is still in copyright, everything else about Sherlock Holmes and his world is public domain.

Where did 50 shades come from?50 Shades of Gray was originally Twighlight fanfiction. Pixie had trouble seeing how the two of them could be the same characters. But if you change the names, remove the vampire element, you basically have the same story. Older man seduces and controls the innocent young girl and has his wicked way with her (really could be any book).
Trekies introduced me to fanfictionCorrection: I totally forgot they had all the artwork they had both been given as well as the stories that had been created.

Erotic Video Games
This week we are talking about erotic video games based on the article by Girl on the Net. There is a lot of fun in this article with a lot of memories for both of us.
Leisure suite larryWe strat with the classic game "Leisure Suite Larry", but we go back even further to the ZX Spectrum and how there is even sexy games on that, and lots of them. Check out (world of spectrum)[http://worldofspectrum.org/]
If we go right back to the dawn of the Internet, before there were web pages there was bulletin boards. On there you (could get ASCI art porn)[https://www.asciipr0n.com/].
Girlfriend simulatorsWhat about girlfriend simulators? That is a real thing especially in Japan. we talk about what they are and Andrew explains what one is like. Then things take a turn for the more strange and we talk about the weird pigeon girlfriend simulator
We muse on what an English girlfirend simulator would be like... Cups of tea, hard nips, and drizzle is the conclusion.
Other cultures have a huge effect on sex, but why don't we talk about French and Italian sex culture? We know American and Japan, that is all out there.
Cock heroThis is something we had never even heard of. It is literally porn clips with music put over the top, with a bar that tells you when you stroke your bits.
Virtual RealityFinally we talk a little about virtual reality. It is an emerging technology and of course porn is already exploring it. There is still a lot to learn about where this technology is going to go, and we are really excited by the possibilities.
We even talk about Pokemon Go and how that is affecting your kids and while it is getting kids out, is it something to worry about? Or is it just a fad?
Hak5 did a great video showing off what you can do with 360 video.
Over to youWhat do you think? Have you played any of these games? What is your favorite? We would love to know.

Beautful burlesque
This week we are talking about beautiful burlesque based on the article we had written for us by Molly Moore.
But before that we have some fan mailGoing back to the podcast we did on Camgirls a fan tells us what she gets from watching shows on her own or with her partner. Thank you.
Where does the word Burlesque come from?Is it just about the little hats? What do you think about when someone says "Burlesque" to you? We think about movement and dance, with comedy and comment thrown in.
The word comes from the Italian word "Burla" meaning joke, ridicule, or mockery. The origin of it as a form goes back to the 16th and 17th century where it was a form of parody theatre.
Nudity wasn't part of Burlesque until America got it's hands on it. It died off as an art around the middle of the 20th century, and was then revived around the 1970's.
Dita von teeseCheck out her great book "Burlesque and the art of the teese", only £19.99 on Amazon. Well worth getting, and when you turn it over it's all about fetish.
World burlesque gamesPart of the london burlesque festival it actually takes place a number of times a year. It happens over the course of a week, you can check out the audtions over the course of week, then on the Friday and Saturday they have the actual show where the games take place.
It is different every timeThey key thing for us is just how varied it is. No two shows are ever the same, even when put on by the same performer every one brings their own take to the art.
In a few weeks we will be at Sexhibition and there is going to be an amazing show. But we are not goign to get to see any of it.
If you get a chance to check out Pyrohex they are worth watching.
If you are looking for a fair and would like some entertainment thrown in then check outAlternative & Burlesque fair.
Fun fact about the Moulin RougeDid you know that since 1963 they only put on reviews that start with the letter F. Check out the wikipedia article for more details.
That's the showIf you like this episode you’ll love
