How come we never have writer sex tape “scandals”?  That could actually be great promotion.  (Cue release of Tao Lin “sex tape.”)  I suppose it isn’t prudent to list writers whose sex tapes I’d like to see.  I’ll do it in my head.

      It ain’t a tape, but is bold, go to http://www.kevinkillian.com. Love Kevin Killian. He’s fearless. We, Robin and I, have a tape I lost one night at a bar fight. Some dumbass redneck jock bouncer attacked me for going in the wrong, unlocked restroom, and I never got my coat back. So that’s floating around somewhere. Who knows. Oh but wait, I have to become a famous writer first, ha. Anyway…

      1. Sex tapes of famous, attractive people get on the internet because other people are motivated by the famous, attractive people’s fame and attractiveness to go through their things and try to find sex tapes.
      2. Sex tapes of famous, attractive people are distributed on the internet as “so-and-so’s sex tape” rather than anonymous, amateur porn because the people in it are famous and attractive.
      3. Very few writers are sufficiently famous and attractive to motivate other people to try to steal their sex tapes. (Some writers are famous enough, e.g. Stephen King, Dan Brown, but not attractive enough. Some writers are attractive enough, e.g. ???, but not famous enough.)
      4. Hence, there are much fewer writer sex tape scandals than actor/pop-star sex tape scandals.

      What happened to Judy Budnitz?

      http://vvoice.vo.llnwd.net/e12/out-on-a-limb.1937839.40.jpg

      I read her stories years ago and, in addition to being floored by them, I remember being attracted to her. Her author photo anyway. She disappeared in the last few years. No word of a new novel or collection. She just seemed to dip out. Not to say I want to see a sex tape of her. Seeing a sex tape of someone you respect and find attractive would just be weird to me. I think the appeal of sex tapes are the fact that they feature people you can’t fucking stand but are attracted to on a base level, which makes you hate yourself, appealing to that delicious self-loathing part of the brain.

      Yeah, so anyway. Whatever happened to her? Anybody know?

      all these things are true. my initial question was kinda rhetorical. i’m just saying fuck it, it’d be novel, so to speak, to see writers get caught up in the same sort of debauchery / ridiculousness that actors and so forth do. the age of mailer etc is over, of course, but…

      You should break into famous writers’ houses and steal their sex tapes if you want to see them. That’s how this shit works.

      I’ve seen myself in a sex tape and I don’t think that anyone wants that.

      nope, no-one. Well, if were only a close up of the radio turned up really fucking loud then maybe. then it may even be considered art along the lines of torture.

      i think debauchery would be more expected from a writer than of the celebrities that have been involved in sex scandals. celebrities are supposed to maintain a certain level of civility for their public persona, and when a sex tape comes out, well, then, that gets all fucked up, even though we all know people love to fuck each other. but to have the evidence open to the public, then the public has a chance to react. a sex tap of a famous writer, as long as he or she is not mormon, wouldn’t be much of a deal, i believe, because it’d be like, yeah, he or she is a writer, he or she is fucked up. that’s what he or she does, fuck barflies, or young men. big deal.
