I'll have Soike/Xander (S7 spoilery-ish) up here on the 7th, the 11th, and the 14th.

Plus I loved watching MR play a woman.

So much sexier than Dave/Daisy. The smile, the voice, she had it going on. Fuck the jokes, Adina had a great ass.

Cocoa puffs.

Question: Was Adam's boy-hair a wig? It looked kind of like it could be, and he wore that hat an awful lot. Did MR make SB after starting SV?

I'm reading the rat story. You bastards.

You awful, awful pushers. I seem to have myself a new fandom. I do not have time for this. And now I must find myself more Malfoy fic. I'm going to have to read Lust Over Pendle. I blame you all utterly. Especially you, FAy. Bastard.

I'm trying to remember what initally sucked me into HP fic. I think it was an unfinished Harry/Draco thing by Livia, damn her eyes. She's never going to finish it.

connie identified several of the plot holes that bugged me about LoP.

amyth---Adam's boy hair was a wig, SB was made after SV started and I read that MR hated the boy hair wig they made him wear.

Does anybody know any good advice about writing sex scenes? It can be yours or off a book or site.I'm bracing for Pornathology: the next Incarnation, and have never really written anything overtly sexual(Except maybe one embarrassing poem to an old bf I'd rather forget.) Cause, well, my friend found it after the fact, and it was kind of funny afterwards, not hot. Not that they can't co-exist, I suppose.

The biggest thing, for me, about writing a sex scene is, does it push any of your buttons? You may have read dozens of recommended stories with a particular practice, but if the method doesn't do anything for you, you won't be able to write it convincingly. Heck, it doesn't have to be anything you'd DO, but if playing the scene in your head brings a flush to your cheeks then odds are you can do justice to the scene on paper.

Also, don't be afraid of unadorned terms. It's a penis, sometimes it throbs, sometimes it twitches, sometimes it just lays there waiting for someone to pay attention to it. Also, if you don't want to be vulgar--whatever your level of vulgarity is--don't be. Write for yourself first.

My only advice is to avoid old saws like "Holy thrusting loins, Batman, your asshole's too tight!"
