Book of the Quarter: Test Subject by Tami

Every couple of months, my team and I pick a book to work on and talk about as our focus (just want to be transparent with y'all). I wanted to share here in case anyone is open to reading! We picked this book because our team got so into it that we caused a noise complaint. Highlights of this book include: - centaur double penetration - shrinking pixies in *holes* - a woman in STEM

Why I love it : Innovative cum based magic system

[thesmutmonger]

Just wanted to put this out into the world because I know economically times are tough and people don't have unlimited money to spend on books. If you are interested in reading Test Subject -- please message me or comment below and I have free codes to share. My hope is that people willlove this weird, unhinged novel as much as I did!

Oh. Ilya isn’t being nice to all the gay hockey players he meets by tripping them into the arms of their love interests because he wants them to be happy. He’s tripping them away from his love interest. He’s gonna make sure those hot rich men are otherwise occupied so they don’t go sniffing around Mr. Hockey himself, Shane Hollander, who they may or may not have heard a rumor about him being gay and probably available— Quick! Diversion attack! Go flirt with the cute social media guy! Look! Attractive bartender! Sexy musician, go go go!

[whereintheworldiskamalakhan]

This was def inspired by Troy calling Shane a Total Babe™️ and the idea of Ilya having to fight off eligible suitors with a fucking knife

Sick day TV change?

I have been felled by a cold these last couple days, and taking time to rest.

Before i got my job mongering smut™️ I would always be like "I want to watch a light comedy or a touch of romance" when I was sick, but now I can't watch romance without taking mental notes for work---so my brain is like "let's watch a stressful medical show (The Pitt)".

Fanfiction exists for TWO reasons:

Dealing with complex thoughts and emotions I can't work through in therapy, like grief, despair, a complicated relationship with pain and addiction

Seeing the same characters fuck over amd over again

These remind me of this drawing by Franz Kafka from the 1900s. We've been feeling this way for a long time.

Me at work trying to do work but Heated Rivalry content calls me like siren song.

How I am acting knowing that it's the start of the year and I need to (in no particular order): find a new book for marketing, edit social media posts for CandyJar, work on longer form content and I just cannot stop reading and thinking about these fucking hockey players. It's worse because it is my job to think about romance and this is the only romance I want to think about. Please get me out of this

genuinely i do think it's crazy how this show hit every single mark for no reason other than pure love of the game. like this wasn't a money grab and it didn't think it would be a big success, jacob just read a book he enjoyed and thought huh i think that would be a cool thing to make into a tv show. and then he brought on hudson and connor and they're fresh and passionate and not bogged down by the industry yet and they instantly became best friends and wanted to just have fun bringing these characters to life. and they didn't have a huge budget but they did the most with what they had and everybody took the show seriously and everybody took the book seriously. the cinematographer worked his magic. the music supervisor managed to snag a well-known queer hit and an up and coming new release and old school gems that have been around since the 2000s. it's canadian to the core, built from the ground up. it takes russians and the russian language seriously. it uses sex in such a specific, meaningful way that almost no other show has done thus far, and especially not in a queer context like this. they interlaced every episode with callbacks and parallelism and self-references. they didn't take themselves too seriously. they took everything so seriously. there is love and care baked into the core of this show and it's deeply queer and it doesn't shy away from the horrors of toxic masculinity and hockey culture but it is also, always, a story of joy and love and happiness. and on top of everything, it's almost word for word, the original source material from the book.

like damn it's no wonder this thing has made us all insufferable and become a huge fucking success! so few productions in hollywood are doing it like this!!!

the problem with the gay hockey show is that the acting is great, the lighting is great, the music and costuming are great, the care taken is incredible, but you can't recommend it to normal people without sounding like a pervert

[thesmutmonger]

I want to say the greatest pro of my workplace (I work at a romance and smut company) is that we are all so freak for freak for recommending content. Once you pass the "yeah since all we do is talk about people fucking all day" barrier you can truly recommend ANYTHING.

We were talking about Heated Rivalry and then boom---time to talk about Tender is the Flesh (dystopian novel about state sanctioned cannibalism)

"Were non-cannon gay charecters that obvioulsly have crushes on eachother. Of course were from a sports anime."

ilya destroying that plate of spaghetti right before this sweet moment is so fucking funny to me. especially since the actor was actually eating the spaghetti

Go ahead and just give him the Emmy for that. That's a lot of noodles.

Every day I log into my google drive on my COMPANY LAPTOP and oscillate between cutting thirst trap posts for social media, reading smut for work, or posting on this site I cannot believe it's just "horny on main time" now.

[carnadelions]

Let That Old Man Fuck as a popular refrain is so funny to me because historically speaking that old man has been allowed to get his freak on with someone younger and hotter than him for far too long. how about we just Let Him Shrivel Into a Befittingly Undersexed Husk and Die

Fujoshi-ed too hard at work

With the success of Heated Rivalry--it's been clear that the world yearns and needs more beautiful, queer stories. I love that. I am here for it. As a long-time boys love fan--I GET it. What I shouldn't have done though, was out myself as huge fujoshi on the company slack.

I mean, to be fair, I work at a media company the produces smut and romance; so it's not like I was just doing this at a regular job. But when our head content person was like "we should find more books with boys love" I raised my hand so fast it was like
