Blogged in a kind of disbelief: yournovel.com will take your name, the name of your partner, and some personal details such as hair colour, pet names for each other etc. You also give them a small fee. They will insert your names (yes, it’s a find-and-replace) into their text to make a custom Mills-and-Boon-style novel that they print, bind and post to you. You can choose “wild” (i.e. sexually explicit) or “mild” (straight romantic) versions. Go on, read the extracts.
“[Ann] gasped her encouragement and continued her own rhythmic caress that left [John] pulsating with passion. … His fragrance, [Old Spice], filled her nostrils and excited her.”
Where does it go from here? Will men be paying to have their names pasted into Tom Clancy, Iam Fleming or Chris Ryan novels?
