Over a year ago, I realized I wanted to invent a new fetish (using "fetish" in the typical way the term is used on the Internet: an unusual and unusually strong turn-on). Thwarting my attempt was Rule 34 of the Internet:

So instead I went searching for an obscure kink in need of an audience. So after a very strange while on Google Image Search and various image boards, I came across this picture and a handful of others depicting women made out of, well, goo:

I was floored by how goofy but fundamental and Jungian the fetish was, and how no one was writing about it, in English at least. So I started writing, using the central, woman-as-the-New-Moon schtick as a gimmick to include every Internet fetish that had either made me giggle or made me go, "Hmm." (After almost a year of writing, I discovered that a furry artist had beaten me to the punch by about six months, with drawings of furries made out of jell-o. Ah, well.)
Two hundred thousand words and a million page hits to my wiki later, the last chapter was approved for posting on Literotica yesterday. It's no where near an Internet phenomenon, of course, but I've heard from hundreds readers who can no longer walk down the baked goods aisle of a supermarket without blushing.
Anyway, it was a great exercise. It formed a framework to build a long project and to really think about what turned on other people.
So: who's next? Anyone want to go fetish spelunking? I've got ropes and crampons.
