Lemon/Quotes

"Lemons are stories that explicitly depict sexual activities, so named because they leave a sour taste in one's mouth, if not other places. A lime is a lemon with most of the really good bits taken out."

—Gary Kleppe, "A Guide to Writing Really, Really Good Fanfiction."

"Now I know why they call 'em lemons. They leave a sour taste in my mouth."

—from Anime Detective: Crossover Crisis, by Pearson "Doc" Mui.

Kasumi: Would you like something from the fruit bowl to finish with?

Kentaro: Sure! Let's see, you've got oranges, apples, grapes... is this a lemon?

Kasumi: Goodness, no. Just an ordinary fanfic.
