sanguinity17. Monique Poirier, "Concerning the Ars Mechanica".
In a nutshell: steampunk erotica about a gay automaton.
The link above is only good for today:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
circletpress is doing an erotic story Advent calendar right now, with each story posted from midnight to midnight. (Pacific time zone? Not sure.) For after that link stops working: "Concerning the Ars Mechanica" is collected in the anthology Like Clockwork.
Erotica is hard to review meaningfully -- either a story hits your personal kink, or it doesn't -- but I will say that I feel frustrated that this is "just" erotica. Haider is toomeaty interesting a character, in too toothy a scenario, for me to be content with the story ending where it does. (There are betrayals to be dealt with! Cultureshock to be explored! Political and social identities to be developed! I suppose I shall just have to continue to wait for the steampunk novel she's working on.)
FYI, there's one more story of Monique's that's supposed to go up during Circlet's Advent Calendar: "The Goose Boy." I'm going to be traveling during part of the countdown and may miss it, so don't count on me to catch and post the link.
