Erotic Fan Fiction
What did Wind in the Willows’ Ratty really mean when he talked of ‘messing about in boats’? And what did Wodehouse’s Jeeves serve along with Bertie’s cup of tea each morning to really make his master say, ‘What-ho!’? Yes, Erotic Fan Fiction is back again – so let your mind run wild.
It’s the same deal as always. Everyone gathers at the Wheeler Centre looking normal and decent. Then, four of Melbourne’s funniest and filthiest writers – James Colley, Gareth Davies, Ben Pobjie and Jess McGuire – share their rudest and lewdest fan fiction … and it quickly becomes clear that nobody is normal and everybody is very excited by muppets.
Slip your imagination into something a little more comfortable at the silliest – and, let’s face it, smuttiest – event on the Wheeler Centre calendar. Hosted by Ali McGregor.
