Finally, someone who gets there is nothing nostalgic or golden about the past, especially if you time travel back before 1800. It smells, you smell, the smelly gross world is trying to kill you. You. Are. Food. You will be sick. Even if you have money, your servants are trying to kill you because nobody knows sanitation and everybody believes disease is a curse, god's will, or a miasma. Don't forget being bled by leaches was a thing…

Your little guide should be required reading for anyone writing a historically correct time travel story to prod them into providing the proper gritty verisimilitude.

I boosted. Other authors should boost the original post thread, too. Well done indeed.

Yep. It has happened.

I have written smut in hopes of payment.

I am a literary whore now.

""I'm so sorry they told you all those lies. Because they are lies. Because when I look at you, I see a big beautiful woman who should be loved." Owen claimed, kissing her hands. "Come on...let me see you..."

Kyla slowly opened the robe, revealing more and more of herself. She expected horror to darken his face but the more skin she showed, the harder he breathed. The robe fell to the ground and Owen took her in with greedy eyes. Kyla's breath caught in her throat as he started palming his cock through his boxers which grew bigger with each stroke.

"Lay down...let me take care of you." he insisted, his voice laced with pure sin."

Heavy Hearts (p1)

Kyla Wagner is a 30-year-old plus-sized woman who has never been in a serious relationship. Her self-esteem and past experiences with bullying make her reluctant to leave her comfort zone. When 32-year-old Owen Burkwell, an athletic and devilishly handsome high school P.E. coach, takes interest in her, she has a night of passion with him she'll never forget. Is this love or just a one-night-stand?
