This is a level of awesomeness I would have expected of the Bardic Conspiracy.

Just wait until we put on our Erotic Conspiracy costumes.

Oh dear. Is there a theorem that members of the Erotic Conspiracy cannot disagree about having sex?

They also have arguments over which is more erotic, 50 years of the best sex ever or 3^^^3 accidental nipple brushes.

Just the opposite, I'm afraid. There's a meme to the effect that "your kink is not my kink but your kink is okay" -- an explicit recognition of the need to agree to disagree.

Only if they have common tastes.

Now I've written certain unfinished and unpublished stories set in Brennan's world, so I know there's an Erotic Conspiracy and that it's called the Erotic Conspiracy, but may I inquire as to how you know there's such a thing as the Erotic Conspiracy when Google shows that the first reference on LW is in this very thread? Lucky guess, or did the information escape some other way?

You've talked about it at LW meetups.

Nooooo! You should have said that how you know it is a secret of the Conspiracy Conspiracy! :)

Shhh! The secrecy of the Pbafcvenpl Pbafcvenpl is tantamount!

Makes sense. I thought I had a distant memory of that, but wasn't sure of the context.
