You know when, on a cold and lonely weekend, you curl up, channel Anaïs Nin or your favorite harlequin romance novelist, and pen a fictional sexual fantasy about you and James Franco? Like maybe a bawdy period piece that involves corsets, bourgeois attire, romps in the parlour, and a struggle to find ones place in the political arena? Or whatever! Well you aren't alone. Well, you are... but you are alone together. Your simpáticos have launched a Kickstarter campaign to publish "a collection of erotic fiction that describes hypothetical sexual encounters with the greatest American actor, writer, and visual artist of all time," titled Fucking James Franco.
The group of contributors consist of visual artists, writers, musicians, and more, and so far they've raised nearly $1000 of their $2500 goal. But the real goal here should be to get Franco to record himself in bed reading the final product.
