kiki_engHarlequin amuses me. I like them; they're Canadian, how they got into the romance business is a fun story, and theirs is a genre known for employing and selling to women. Sometimes they have really amusing online features.
Right now they're running a contest called Submit Your Kiss wherein you select two people (male or female) and arrange them into a position. The puppet-having aspect of it is pretty fun - I definitely went through a certain amount of glee at having a digitised ragdoll - and there are backgrounds and accessories and things. There are some hinks in the programming - it's supposed to chastise you if you position your characters in a way not strictly PG and sometimes characters that are about a metre apart, not touching at all are being inappropriate (AT HARLEQUIN THEY CAN READ MINDS, OR SOMETHING, I AM UNSURE), additionally characters' extremities may temporarily detach. Them's the breaks.
I had issues communicating my original artistic vision, so came up with a new one: women in SPACE. I figure providing Harlequin with femslash can only be good. (You, too, should provide Harlequin with femslash, or something.)
