Perils of a porn writer

Hey, it’s not like I don’t like getting fan mail, but sometimes you gotta draw the line. And then redraw it and slap the bitch that crosses it. Yes, dear friends, I received a creepy one today. Fortunately, they’re few and far between. Not that the email from the midget in prison wasn’t nice, but, well...In any case, today’s threw me for a loop:

Hi rob, just finished reading your short story “Wild West Show” in the Ride Me Cowboy anthology. I really enjoyed it and all the rest in the book. I have a silly question maybe you cab shed some light on.....some time ago a friend of mine lent me a tape of people having sex with various animals. I had never seen anything like this before and got a little interested on why there are not any of this kind of thing available; if they are, there are not too many. This peeked my interest and would like to see some more or read a novel that has this issue in it. Many people live on farms and ranches, so this must be going on. Any idea if any of this exists in books or films?

Yep. See, creepy, right? Puts a bit of a pit in your tum-tum, doesn’t it? Not that I’m being judgemental, mind you - well, wait, yes I am. And, no, my story has no farm animals in it. Nor will they ever. Um, not in that way, anyway. Actually, harkening back a bit, I did have a story, “Dairy Queen”, in Freshmen Magazine, but the cows were more of a backdrop, so to speak.

Suffice it to say, the email made me feel uneasy. And, no, I didn’t reply to him. Though I did feel like telling him to go fuck himself. And leave the poor sheep out of it.
