There are some images I do not need realized.

If you've never read China Mieville, this won't make a whole lot of sense. China, in his New Cruzabon stories, has a clade of people called The Remade, people who have been found guilty of crimes against the city of New Cruzabon and who, in turn, suffer remaking: their bodies are warped by infectious magics, and they are melded with animals, with machines, with the animated corpses of their victims, with whatever the sorceror on hand found amusing and appropriate and utilitarian. Mieville's universe has strange and horrible monsters, and being Remade with one of those about results in some of the most disturbing images Mieville has given us.

Yesterday, I was looking through some on-line doujinshii. I'm not even sure where, now. I deleted the copy I was looking at. I just did not need to know what Remade prison sex looked like. Really.

Just thought I'd share.

I tried to read a Mieville and didn't like the book

I seem to recall it was too artificial seeming to me, and I gave up in disgust. I also have serious problems with his name. Until I ran across Mieville, every single "China" I'd encountered had been female. I know, I know, there's no reason in the world someone named "China" has to be one gender or another, but it just feels as odd to me as if an "Alfred" turned out to be a woman. I also keep reading "Mieville" as "Melville", and my eyes choke on it.

For some reason, after I hit 45, I became less willing to give writers second chances, maybe because there's so much reading matter around that IS to my taste. Why should I bother to read folks I don't like?

You're familiar with Quantum Fetish Mechanics (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=715), I assume? "The very act of imagining a new fetish causes websites dedicated to that fetish to pop into existence."
