So I was reading the other day and thought of a (hopefully) fun topic...has anyone every randomly found a moment of WAM in a novel? Like anyone getting pied or caked or covered in something that got you excited when you were reading?
I'm a huge book nerd but can't remember many where it's happened apart from a kids book where a girl poured something over a boy who was bullying her.
Stephen King's 11.22.63 has a scene where a couple of teachers, a man and a woman, get pied by their students after a play performance. And there's Carrie, of course, if pig blood is your thing.
I remember (I was about 12) my gran was talking to me about the story she was reading. It was a romance novel called something like "The Devil Lover." The main woman's love was being stolen by a rich debutante type, so she sneaked into the manor where the ball was going to be and put wineskins hanging from several points on the trellis where she expected the other woman to make her move. Then she hid in wait with a bow. When the other woman took her love outside, she shot the wineskins and soaked her before she could make her move.
Obviously, gran had no idea that I'd want to read that part of the book, it was just dumb luck she told me about it. But it made me wonder if romance novels were full of scenes like that.
I haven't, but I'm working on my first WAM story ever and I'm trying my best to make it read like a WAM excerpt from a regular novel. It's much more appealing to me than a short story written with WAM in mind. No offense to the awesome stories already on the site - some great stuff there. I've had a WAM story with a seemingly "normal" background in an era atypical of most WAM stories brewing in the back of my mind for a while now. Hoping to bring it to life soon.
Kept meaning to strike up a conversation like this on the forum, also. Curious what others have to say!
A Star Trek novel, 'How Much for Just the Planet' has the crew of the Enterprise in a pie fight. I'm not a trekkie so not sure how I found out about it but after years of on and off searching I found one at a used book store. I didn't buy it but found the part that had the pie fight, but was disappointed that there were barely any women mentioned.
When I was in uni, I lived in this old apartment building that had a book exchange in the laundry room for residents. It was mostly non-fiction and romance novels, but as a broke student, I started reading them. They were all Nora Roberts and I was pleasantly surprised to find light WAM moments in almost every other one.
It was mostly wetlook. Female lead characters were getting caught in the rain a lot. But I distinctly remember one shower sex scene that started fully clothed. There was also one novel where the female lead was a Hollywood actress, who specialised in drama, but was trying to branch out. There was a scene where she was reading a comedy script sent to her, where her character would get a pie in the face. Later in the novel she even brought it up to the male lead, but nothing came of it.
I think I ended up reading about 10 Nora Roberts books. She's written like 100. I wouldn't be surprised I she had some more WAM elements in some of those books. Like, one where the woman is a pastry chef or something.

A few hardy boys books had some wam and wet look this is a fascinating topic to ponder more of
You may want to check-out my WAM-novels as I have translated my entire novel series about three friends going through a rapid common development in the Wet & Messy area in Frankfurt into English and brought it to publication. This happened not least because many of my English-speaking friends in the WAM community have expressed this desire .
It is an extensive series of three novels, in which many very erotic, very dirty and partly very playful activities are lived through and experienced, in which very high quality and detailed described clothes are ruined forever to achieve a pleasure gain in the protagonists.
The books are published by Amazon for Kindle, among others, but are also available as ebooks in other relevant stores, incl. Apple, etc.
Here is the link to the first novel of the series on Amazon where you can read a few pages before actually buying:
The publisher describes the novel as follows: A captivating story about three female friends who together live out their Wet and Messy Fetish increasingly intensively, combining more and more the desire for exclusive fragrances, excessive styling, and their luxury bodies with the allure of deliberately destroying the highest-quality garments. A Coming of Age Novel of a very special kind, which takes up and presents ever new and explicit forms of Wet and Messy play.
Note: You must be of legal age to purchase and read them
Please enjoy the read and I am very happy to discuss about details with you - either here or via PM.
There's an exquisitely described self-pieing in Lorrie Moore's short story "The Juniper Tree":
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Then, without warning, she suddenly lifted up the pie and pushed it into her own face. When she pulled off the tin, meringue clung to her skin like blown snow. The foam of it covered her lashes and brows and, with her red hair, for a minute she looked like a demented Queen Elizabeth.
"What the fuck?" I said, shaking my head. I needed new friends. I would go to more conferences and meet more people.
"I've always wanted to do that," said Robin. The mask of meringue on her face looked eerie, not clownish at all, and her mouth speaking through the white foam seemed to be a separate creature entirely, a puppet or a fish. "I've always wanted to do that, and now I have."
One of the "My Name Is Paris" mystery books had the titular heroine getting thrown in a river by a villainous pursuer, and there were a few other books I read around the onset of puberty which featured girls about my age getting wet/muddy/messy in nice dresses. That's the only title I remember.
I recall a team gathering/celebration in Joe McGinniss' superb Miracle of Castel di Sangro where a woman (secretary/personal assistant, I think) goes headfirst into a green frosted (football pitch-themed?) cake to the delight of some players. Would need to re-read it for the first time in over 10 years, but I remember enjoying the mental imagery.
While I am here... Longtime lurker & delighted to finally be part of the community!
