There is something kind of funny that I have noticed. I am an avid reader of historical fiction, as it might already be known, and there is one thing in which I have noticed through reading from a varity of different time periods, from a varity of different authors, and that is the fact, that there is a tendency for writers of Historical fiction to incoprate farting into thier works. Though it sounds like a joke, there are several instances of the mention of the word and chars preforming the act within HF books.
I posted something about this on the Historical Fic. Forum that I belong to, currious to see if others have encountered or noticed this tendency as I have, and there is one thing I have discovered which I find amusing.
In the same way that many people seem to be bothered by the mention of sex in novels, which does not phase me in the least, even if it is a bit grpahic, for some reason the occurance and mention of farting in my books I find quite unappealing and I do not see where it really adds anything to the story and I just as soon not read about it.
While many of the pople whom posted on the forum do not seem bothered by its mention, and in many cases find amusment in such.
It seems to be that the prupose of it, is to try and bring more reasilim into the stories.

Ewww! Realism is so over-rated.
