I'm picturing SMG in a red serge uniform. And looking rather disgruntled about it.

?Oh no you don?t, you are not going to sleep? here?? She said and incredibly started giving him a blowjob. ?Whatever it takes.?

I have no comment. I just thought the "incredibly started giving him a blowjob" was worth repeating.

She was sucking desperately the small, but yet perfect center of his being.

Dude? Did you just copy over someone else's m-to-f blowjob and forget to replace the small references with "large and hard"?

She was surprised after all he was a Prince and she would have thought he had never given head to anyone, probably never even received such a wonderful treat back.

Um, yeah. Royalty never goes down.

I think it is incredible that she started giving him one.

Incredible or inedible? ION, somebody on 11cents just told me they love "Queer Eye For The Homicide Guy."

Bootleg. Inside Billy Tallent's head, on the way to Edmonton. A taste:

Joe doesn't get that it's too late to go out in a blaze of glory. No way they can die young now. No way you can make it real again.

It's been a long time since I read any HCL fic. I may have to go on a hunt now.

Damn.

Just when I was thinking I could avoid being interested in fanfic, I had to go and read one that made me cry. (BTVS fic, called The Funeral, recently added at fanfiction.net)

Now I need to seek out the kind of fic I like.

If anybody has any suggestions for really well-written stuff that doesn't contain any seriously pornographic scenes, that'd be great. That's really been the biggest fanfic turn-off for me: I prefer my erotic fiction to have faceless, voiceless characters, that I can use my imagination on and never feel wrong.

Unfortunately, it seems hard to find good fanfic that isn't basically erotic fiction in disguise.

To be clear: I don't mind love scenes, but they should be secondary to some sort of interesting story, or at least character exploration, and should not be the focus of the fic.

Now I want to write fic. I have too many hobbies I WANT to pursue.

Nova, I feel your pain. If there's a plot reason for two people to hop in the sack, go for it. There's rarely a plot reason for the extensive choreography that then gets described. I've been known to scroll past such scenes when re-reading my favorite fics.

Not to say I haven't perpetrated smut myself ;), but I try to have a reason. Makes it difficult to write "porn without plot," because I am plot's bitch.

Poly recs has plenty of gen recs.

Where do you start to consider things seriously pornographic? (To help me seek out recs. As I own a lot of erotica, I tend to view things as seriously hardcore erotica if and only if there's nothing but sex. But YMMV.)

Golf carts in a secret passage in a farmhouse cellar. Check.

Near the end of the movie Masterminds, there's a scene where Patrick Stewart is chasing Vincent Kartheiser through a school, and they somehow end up in these tunnels under the school (maybe connected to the sewers?) where there are, for some reason, a bunch of golf carts. The lamest chase scene ever filmed ensues.

Well, if you consider pornographic=excessive/over-the-top, then it would be when every move is described. A first encounter or one that takes place under exceptional circumstances--in the middle of a battle or a "we could all be dead in the next five minutes, c'mere" or "I haven't seen you in months"--work, for me, to be extensively described. I'm much happier with the occasional fade out if the encounter is something that would normally occur in the course of a relationship, especially stress-relief or make-up sex. I'd write such a scene ending with the clothes coming off or starting with the afterglow snuggling. We know what's going on, I'd prefer to keep the story rolling.
