Tupperware erotica frenzy!

A remarkable bidding war:

Unpublished ‘Tupperware erotica’ novel prompts fierce contest for TV rights

A much-hyped novel about a housewife who uses Tupperware parties to secretly smuggle erotic stories to her friends and neighbours is causing a stir in the television world, igniting a fierce bidding contest over the right to adapt it for the small screen.

Wet Ink, a novel by the 33-year-old London-based author Abigail Avis, is not scheduled to be published until the spring 2027, but industry insiders said a fierce auction between six major production companies had already taken place for the TV rights.

Insiders said the demand was a sign of the continuing importance to production companies of hunting down new content, as competition has intensified with the rise of the streamers. There has also been a recent trend of books by female writers to be the subject of ferocious auctions.

Two things:

1. Congrats to the author.
2. “Tupperware erotica” is an unlikely phrase.

I read that story too. At one point today, it was the most-read article on the Grauniad.

The phrase could be condensed to Tupperwerotica.

Perhaps it could spawn a whole new category of container sex: imagine the heaving chests and tight boxes!

Isn't that how the original Star Trek slash fiction was distributed?

Rocco (of the Writing Group) actually proposed a Tupperware story for Literotica a few months ago (at a meeting of the WG). At the time, they were in bankruptcy, but I believe they have since been acquired.

We had IKEA erotica, now we have Tupperware erotica... What's next?

Costco? Panera Bread? Uber? REI? Walgreens? Tide?

Kleenex?... Oh, right we do that one already.

Tupperotica.

When Rocco suggested it, I said the company in the story should be "Futterware". I love old words, my readers might have noticed.

Love this reference. I used it in a story once and had to really argue with my (Canadian) editor to leave it in.

One of those if you get it you get it things.

Not surprised. They have cleaned up their act, but after 30+ years, I cannot stop using this nickname.

For those who don't get the reference: The Guardian is a UK-based newspaper (now with US and Australian online editions) that was notorious for its typographical errors, hence the nickname, first used by the satirical magazine Private Eye in 1971.

EDIT: in checking that I had the origin of the name correct, I discovered that the domain grauniad.co.uk has been registered by the newspaper itself.

This feels less like fiction and more like a real account of the author, as in, the author was the erotica peddler.

Oh my. Chock full of one-liners that will no doubt slip out inappropriately at a future dinner party…
