The agony Aunts are involved but are not themselves prostitutes, and other tertiary characters do not necessarily appear to be involved with prostitution. However, since ''[[Night Watch]]'' is something of a pastiche of ''[[Les Miserables]]'' (in which prostitution plays a visible and plot relevant part), the presence of sex workers as characters is arguably not an entirely bad sign.

A starting stub

New page

It began [http://aaru-tuesday.blogspot.com/2007/10/1958.html here]. It refers to the original [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_test Miller Test] and also to the [http://www.shortpacked.com/d/20060207.html Shortpacked] take on [[Frank Miller]]. It is applied to male sci-fi and fantasy writers, and it goes like this:

If the proportion of female sex workers to neutrally presented female people in his story is above 1:1, he fails.

Failure is an indication that the writer is suffering from a debilitating obsession with whores, and may be assuming that all women can be represented by sex workers.
