A story from the Love is an Open Road event sponsored by the Goodreads M/M Romance Group. Members of the Goodreads M/M Romance Group were invited to choose a photo and pen a letter asking for a short M/M romance story inspired by the image; authors from the group were encouraged to select a letter and write an original tale. Eric Alan Westfall responded to this request. PHOTO DESCRIPTION: Ah. Hmmm. Let�s put it this way. The photo is a composite of six actual nineteenth century photos, each showing two men enjoying themselves in most deliciously flagrante delicto manner: a supporting chair, a numbered pair, a doggy�s pride, a horseman�s ride, a side slide so fair, a leg in the air. More specific? Well, then: fucking over a chair, 69, dog-style fucking, straddle fucking, side fucking, leg in the air fucking. Specific enough? STORY LETTER: Dear Author, When I received the following letter from my dearest friend, Lord Fotherby, I was rather intrigued: Dear Lord Smythe I would be most honoured to receive the pleasure of your company at Mr. Felcher�s Photographic Emporium on the 5th day of this month, 1882. This grand fellow specialises in �Gentlemanly portraiture� in the relaxed surroundings of his London studio and has come highly recommended by my intrepid manservant, who has most diligently assessed Mr. Felcher�s credentials at my request. He reports that the gentleman is extremely thorough in his attention to detail and in the pursuit of a most pleasurable outcome for all of his photographic clients. Using only the most up-to-date technology, he captures images of gentlemen engaging in the most gentlemanly of gentlemanly pursuits. Yours sincerely, Lord Fotherby I would love for Lord Smythe and Lord Fotherby to be deeply and passionately in love with each other, but oblivious to their feelings due to their total sexual repression. A couple of clueless virgins awakened to the pleasures of man-on-man action would be great. And lots of explicit sex, using old-fashioned language i.e. members, seed etc. Oh, and no need for great attention to detail with regards to historical accuracy as long as it has a Victorian feel to it. But straight up historical please (not steampunk, fantasy, paranormal etc.) Feel free to change names etc. Regards, Danni
