Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I just re-read the scene and made a few tweaks to get the new and improved Anna (Now With Consistent Motivation From One Chapter to the Next!) onto the page. I can't tell if it's hot and different or the most godawful clinical sex scene ever written. Guess that's why I have CPs. Bet I'll be sprinting straight to my computer at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow to see if the Pennsylvanian and the Australian have read and commented yet.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
OK, I just realized there are at least two writers who've written worse sex scenes than this:
1. The La Femme Nikita fanfic Dana posts excerpts from.
2. Bill O'Reilly in that suspense novel people quoted the badsex from a year or two back.
So. This scene may be terrible. I just don't know. But it's not the worst ever.
t takes comfort

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Another drabble, for Cindy really, just to show there isn't always gel on this particular lens.
The Powder Room, 1971
The after-gig party is always the same. New York, LA, London, San Francisco - no difference.
There's always someone backstage offering up a mirror and some blow. LA, might be a house up in Coldwater Canyon; San Francisco, maybe the studio owner's deck in the redwoods. NYC, who the fuck knows: always a door, always the hangers-on, always the white lines.
After the show, at some point, someone will get shy about it, and head into the loo. In the morning, someone will push that door open and find them, blue and cold, pants around their ankles, their fire out.

Sail, great drabble. Hee!
Deb, both of yours are really powerful. The first one especially.

Heh.

If you didn't use the words "love grotto" or "throbbing lance," you're several steps up on the competition.
