I have to agree with mrs_don_draper. Depending on the canon, characters' sex lives is very well likely to be unexplored territory.

My fandom is "Inu Yasha". Ten years, and if you're going by the manga, not a single actual kiss between Kagome and Inu Yasha. Yes, there is plenty of skinship, but no kisses or anything more risque. Ten years of pent-up frustration at my OTP not getting anything steamy (especially when Inu Yasha and Kikyou get TWO kisses, dammit!) equals me writing loads of smut.

I could write a sequel about their daily lives, but finding in-depth information about Feudal Era Japan, the peasantry in particular, is very difficult without access to a university library or scads of cash to buy rare books. I could try and write monster-of-the-week, but I'm still learning Japanese mythology, and I will never have as full a grasp of it as Rumiko Takahashi did because 1) she's native Japanese and 2) a huge fan of Japanese myths.

So, I'll write to my strengths and thoroughly enjoy myself.

1) OP didn't say that the characters' sex lives weren't unexplored territory, only that the author OP was addressing didn't explore any other territory except sex.

2) mrs_don_draper made the rather hard to believe claim that the characters' sex lives were the ONLY unexplored areas. That's a significant distinction.
