Fifty Shades of gray inspires people to put there bit's in toasters: not exactly safe sex

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/fifty-shades-effect-blamed-uk-handcuff-mishaps-113107632.html#BaR55W8

Seriously: I simply cannot believe that people would be this hilariously stupid – On one hand I now know that when my erotic fiction comes out that I’m probably going to make a big wodge of cash from it, but on the other … you know what no … erotic fiction does not cause people to put their weaner in a toaster of all things – and I find it hard to believe the fire services assertion that most of these instances may have anything to do with reading erotica.
‘The fire brigade urged those using handcuffs in the bedroom “to always keep they key handy”’: No s*** Sherlock. If I recall correctly most handcuffs that can be bought from sex shops actually have a safety catch on them as well anyway.
Seriously sex toys come with instructions and people’s man parts and lady parts shouldn’t need to come with an instruction guide:

Point 1) Do not put you appendage in a toaster or vacuum cleaner ;)
Point 2) Don’t lose the handcuff keys
Point 3) If you ignore points 1 & 2 please be aware the fire service staff who turn up are NOT strippergrams

busy times

I sat my UKCAT test again today: I did OK scoring about the same as last year. I’m filling out yet another application to medical school. I’ve got about half way through typing up the short story I’m submitting for creative writing and now I need to start writing up the physics portfolio. I’ve managed to get a bit of spare time to myself and finished the last scene of one of the erotic short stories I intent to publish in September done, naturally I’ll post links to any suppliers in various countries online when it comes out either here or on my author website @ sites.google.com/site/AllanMcLeodOnline

Short story for creative writing

Just finished the first draft of the short story I have to write to pass the creative writing night-class; type it up and send it in: and then I’m done. I did a crime short story about a Medical Examiner getting called out to look at a crime scene.

Get that done and then back to the erotic fiction: I’m imposing deadlines on myself now – I’m going to have the first draft done by August and hopefully submit the final by September.

I’m still making notes for my other projects – Watch this space people.

Jack the Ripper event in Middlesbrough

I went to a Jack the Ripper event at Middlesbrough central library last night and I was very impressed. I wasn’t expecting quite so much forensic science because it was part of the literary festival but I’m certainly not complaining. I got a fair bit out of it for the novel I’m writing; especially about the Whitechapel area in London at the time. I have to be honest here: I wasn’t expecting the evidence against the guy from Hartlepool to be quite so solid as a new potential candidate to the JtR but it really was.

I have loads of stuff to be considering for good material for my novel, and I may even change who I’m scripting as victims based on some of the evidence that was presented – I found out some things which made the situation in Whitechapel seem even worse than it did before, and yes that is some feat considering it was Jack the Rippers stomping ground. With over 1 murder per day in an area of 30,000 throughout the 1880’s I should have a great time describing how a Jack the Ripper copycat managed to pass of his own victims as Jack’s.

The joys of writing


It’s great when you’re a writer and a great idea for a short story just pops into your head: well the one that just formed in my mind is practically like a Benny Hill sketch, but I think I can make it into a good story.

Why I love a good pub


Never underestimate the benefit of a good homely pub to sit and write a novel in. I’ve got my 2 hidey-holes in Middlesbrough to it down in with a pencil and a pint, and I can write half a short story in a day or get a good way though the chunk of a chapter just sat down behind a table when its quiet.

Anybody thinking of being a writer needs 4 things: a writing pad, a pencil, a homely pub to write in and a laptop to type it up on later.

My Novel

OK then: just got given a few new books for my birthday which will help with the next one (the supernatural horror, I know it’s hard to keep up but I tend to have a lot of projects on-the-go at once; it makes life interesting) The novel I’m writing is a post-Jack the Ripper story, focusing on the murders which followed Jack the Ripper in London. JtR has been done to death (no pun intended) so I decided to focus on some of the later Whitechapel murders.

On a funny note I had a chat in the staff canteen of the hospital I volunteer at when I went in for a job interview a few weeks ago with one of my colleagues about my novel. The JtR murders had a certain level of surgical skill and the ones that followed were plain savage, yet at the time some people considered them to be “Ripping’s” at the time – I made the remark that if this was accurate then ‘Jack the Ripper killed some people: and then he went mental’: totally forgetting that in conversation context matters and I was talking about what was done to the body rather than his state of mind. Oops.
