Jane rocks. Plus, has the good taste to know our Scrappy, so she wins at life.
Wesley: We were fighting on opposite sides, but it was the same war. Fred: but you hated her…didn't you? Wesley: It's not always about holding hands.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I just had the horrible realization that I am significantly older than most of the people who write in some of my favorite fandoms.
Signed,
Just found out that the person who is beta-reading one of my fics is (technically) young enough to be my daughter.

Like I need a hole in my head
Snacky, I'm guessing that's Livia Balaban's thing, with the name I can never remember. Cuneda's Revenge, or something?
Yep, Cunegund's Restoration. So smart and funny.

How do you decide how smutty to let your fic get? Because right now, I'm pairing some characters that, well, they're both dogs.Forward, aggressive, damn close to being indiscriminate. Which is the attraction in bringing them together, but I'm not sure that shy me can depict this.

In number of encounters or detail levels of encounters? If it's number, I figure if a particular romp doesn't advance the plot or illustrate something major for a character, I leave it to the imagination.
If it's level of detail, I get bored very quickly with thrust-by-thrust choreography. I've noticed my characters snark a lot during sex, so I go for dialogue rather than "A's hand went to B's hip" etc.

Some of both. Those are good things to think about, Connie.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Hmm.
When I write the pr0n, the whole thing is pretty much all about frustration and desire and emotional stuff. The interesting thing is finding the tension and the lust and cranking up as much as it will go, rather than fitting extremity A into slot B.

Emotional entanglement as opposed to physical entanglement. Yup.

nods
Which isn't to say that there isn't physical entanglement - just that it's written with a view to what each person needs at that time, what's going to push their buttons at that point, rather than what's neccesarily prettiest. Type of thing.

Thrive to spite them
I like emotional entanglements with explicit sex scenes.
