publishing company guy (pcg): man there are so many books about man and woman romance! we need something else!

pcg2: how about girl and girl or boy and boy! we have the power of ink... make waves for LGBT

pcg1: Booooring! too thought inspiring!

pcg2: I know! romance between two people of different ethnicity or religions.

pcg1: Or species.... man and sheep! the love between man and sheep! oh how profound that idea is, good work jack.

pcg2: I'm not jack.

pcg1: whatever jack, scour the internet even fanfics there must be something somewhere.

few hours later....
pcg1: found anything?

pcg2: not yet...

pcg1: ok then I guess I must fi...

pcg2: I know what if the sheep is a girl.

pcg1: I don't understand.

pcg2: well, here is a story where the girl is a girl but a sheep... stupid, spineless, unaware of her rights, without much of a say in matters pertaining to her own relationship. who comes back to her master even if he hits her with a belt! and since she's a sheep who's a human she can also give blow jobs.

pcg1: why dear james that is brilliant! that will do! just make sure there is a lot of sex.

pcg2: I'm not james and yes there is sex, it will take a bit of editing though.

pcg1: Oh no one has the time for that! print it Julia by the end of the day. just print it.

pcg2: I'm Jace.

pcg1: And I'm careless! now do as your told Jessica.
