Going back in history a bit...

[entitled]

i was watching the History Channel the other night (yes, i'm a nerd) and they had a show on about the seven wonders of the ancient world. It got to the part about the tomb of Mausolus. Most of the tomb was destroyed during the Crusades to build the church/fortress, but it's well documented that there were quite a few statues.

What caught my attention was the fact that this HUGE tomb was built to house Mausolus and Artemesia after their deaths. They were married siblings and rulers of the land. That got me thinking...

What if they put on sexual shows for their best workers, as a sort of prize for their labor?
Would they go out to the work area at night and ride the statuary horses (especially Artemesia - the cool stone could be a turn-on for later activities with Mausolus)?
Would either of these ideas go over well with the readers?

Input, thoughts, ideas, please!

mmmm, original-sounding, which is always good! I like the concept.

What empire did they rule over? I don't really remember their names, but then again it's been a good few years since I did Senior History, and the History Channel here hasn't shown anything about them as far as I can tell...

orgy? did someone say orgy?

no, no one here likes reading about those

seriously though, make sure the nasmes of the characters are not confusing and that who is doing whom is clear. I get lots of comments on multiple character stories complaining that readers can not keep the action straight.

you might even need an old fashioned dance card.

Now there's a story title for a group sex theme " My Dance Card Gets Filled"

or " More Than My Dance Card Gets Filled"
