Monster Popularity

Have slime monsters fallen out of favor now that we're all sure they're somebody's fetish? The question has two parts, the first being whether slimes have fallen out of favor, which itself requires determining how popular they ever were. The point isn't to get an asnwer. It's to start a conversation. Have you ever had someone tell you that, or "I'm just asking questions?" That person is lying to you. He is coming at you with an anti-slime agenda, or maybe a pro-slime agenda, I'm unsure, and you shouldn't fall for it.

Addendum

As for the other myths, the internet has made their meaning obvious. For thousands of years people wondered about the symbolic significance of, for instance, Cronos and his devouring of his children. Turns out it's just fetish stuff. All of it. We just didn't know people existed who liked that kind of thing.

Addendum

And the covers!

The Dreadful Future

One day, authors will realize how easy it is to insert a note about somebody's feet every few chapters and how much of a boost they get from it, and pretty soon the feetsters will run the entire literature industry.

Addendum

And make sure they take their shoes off frequently for cultural reasons! Or never wear them at all! Aaaaaaaahhh!

Attracting a Wider Audience

Be sure to describe the feet of all the characters in your story. Don't ask why. Just do it.

Planetary Romance

Now that's an exotic fetish!
