A lot of people like fan fiction. A lot of people write fan fiction. Typically speaking, I'd say a lot of fan fiction is almost definitely porn. What if Bella and Edward got together in the first book? What did Buffy and Angel really get up to that night? And, most importantly, what if regency era laws allowed Mr Darcy and Elizabeth to more, ahem, publicly display their affections than a simple chaste kiss at the end of the novel?

If you were at all curious as to how Jane Austen might write porn, then best you have a look at Steven Dawson's Jane Austen's Guide to Pornography. Imagine what happens when Jane, readying for her swan song, meets 21st Century pornographic playwright Brett as he struggles to write his best work, and that's what you'll get. Combined with another of Dawson's work, Gorgeous Bastard, the whimsical tale of three gay men at a straight man's wedding, and you've got yourself a rollicking good night at the theatre.

Both productions are being held in conjunction with the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras- just a small snippet of the cornucopia of events that will be held during the annual festival.
