Here is a fun thing you guys might not know about writing Wonder Woman...

...you get a LOT of mail and even people at cons begging you to have Wonder Woman in canon acknowledging their particular fetish. Like, a LOT.

1/

People would write LONG letters, sometimes with photos or illustrations, about, say, what kind of boots she should wear, and you realize VERY QUICKLY that it's not about fashion.

2/

I got a ton of letters like these...

"Dear Ms. Simone

Could you please please please give Wonder Woman a boot with a stiletto heel that comes to a sharp point that she would place on the neck of a vanquished female foe and the toe should be severely pointed and..."

3/

People would say things like,

"Could Wonder Woman choke out a slightly heavyset bald white man with a goatee, and he would be completely helpless in her grip..."

4/

I don't know if the guys got letters like these but I always found it pretty funny. Sometimes the letter would start with a long preamble about me or my work before getting into their particular THING.

I don't kinkshame, people can like what they like.
But!

5/

There's just something about Wonder Woman wear people (and not all guys, either!) would put their particular sexual kink on her and want to see it in the comics. Fan art was not enough!

Girls wrote about her having a 'constraining corset,' a LOT!

6/

I never took it as offensive, it's kind of adorable in a way.

But Wonder Woman was born in kink and will always BE in kink, I guess!

Writing comics is a weird gig sometimes, you guys. :)
