A Guide to Sex Scenes.

This is something I wrote some years ago, that I updated the other day and that I sent out to the wrbeta list. I got no response, but hey - not everything one writes is going to be well received, isn't it so? So I thought I'd put it up in this journal and see what you guys think.


How to Write A Great Sex Scene!


The Great Block and the Mindset of Sex scenes.

There is a tendency amongst fanfic writers on the internet to focus on sex. You know this - it's why you're here. The prevailing attitude about sex scenes is that they're one of the most appreciated and sought after things in fanfic. I have a bunch of problems with that (I write sex scenes, I enjoy them but they are not my sole reason for writing) but I'll save that for a more appropriate forum.

( There's a mindset that might encompass a budding writer when getting to a sex scene... )

Kissing Figments.

So, there are some additions that I must make to my list of who I've snogged. But they're not exactly things that one would crow about. Not me, anyway, yet, in the spirit of accuracy and following the rules of the list, I feel I should put them down. Just in case you don't know, the rules are as follows:

- I must remember the dream clearly in the morning. No maybe's or possibly's.
- The celebrity/character merely figuring in the dream doesn't count. If I did that, the list would be very long indeed. There MUST be a kiss between myself and the star.
- I must be in first person when the kiss takes place. Someone else who I'm invested in getting kissed doesn't count. BUT - if I'm looking AT myself and feel the sensations, then it counts.

So, without further ado, I reveal who I dreamt I kissed. You can laugh.

- Hercule Poirot. (As played by David Suchet. I don't know WHY, don't ask me!!)
- There's someone else embarrassing but they escape me for the moment. So it's either a lost celeb or one I'll add later.

Hmmm... LJ Stuff..

This is a little worrying...

Waiting to see what sort of impact it has, since I assume Brad will do it whether the users want it or not.

Too. Much. CABBAGE!

I've eaten sauer kraut for the last four meals in a row.

God my Mum makes good kraut.
