[Mkguild] TG Story Announcement: Metamor City fanfic on Nobilis Erotica

[Raven Blackmane]

Hi everyone!

This is so cool I just had to share it. Nobilis of the Nobilis Erotica 
podcast (http://nobilis.libsyn.com) has released the first Metamor City 
fanfic to appear in audio, a story called “Anniversary”. It’s appearing 
in Nobilis Erotica #44 
(http://nobilis.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=279138), and yes, it's a TG 
story. And since it tangentially features the machinations of Artax, the 
mischievous wizard I created to pay homage to Bill Hart's SPELLS 'R' US 
setting, I guess you could call this SRU fanfic, too. :)

Fair warning: as his podcast’s name indicates, this is _erotica._ It’s a 
sexually explicit story and not appropriate for children. But what 
Nobilis has done here isn’t just sex for the sake of sex. This is a 
story that clearly has personal meaning for Nobilis, and it shows 
through in the quality of the characterization.

“Anniversary” is about an aging married couple who love each other very 
much, but don’t often get the chance to express their love sexually 
because they both suffer from chronic illnesses that make sex difficult 
or impossible. Once a year, on their anniversary, they travel from their 
rural home to Metamor City, where the magic that can give them a night’s 
relief is comparatively cheap and accessible. They’d never be able to 
afford the city’s high cost of living full time, and the trip itself is 
expensive, so they’re stuck with this once-a-year experience when they 
can really express their love the way they want to.

It’s a beautiful story, full of genuine, tender emotions, and Nobilis 
has caught the flavor of Metamor City perfectly. If you’re not bothered 
by sexually explicit fiction, I definitely recommend it.

If you're interested in checking out more of Metamor City, visit our

features Artax, and here he actually gets some screen time. :)

Cheers,

Raven
