Re: Writing thread
(Anonymous) 2021-02-14 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)I seem to lose motivation to write once I get to a nice spot in my fics. I like writing conflicts and drama but lately when I reach a point where I need to introduce drama I decide to ignore that fic. I'm hitting that spot with almost all my fics and I know I should just get to writing so I don't lose motivation to keep writing.
Been writing a long fic with a friend, a fic we specifically are writing to entertain each other. I don't think I intend to share it with anyone aside from her. I don't think she's sharing it with anyone either (and I don't care if she does share it with others, pretty proud of the fic we wrote). I feel relatively comfortable reading and writing smut. My friend says she reads a lot of smut but is still working on her technique when it comes to writing smut. I've given her positive feedback. I can see she is trying and some aspects of it she is good. I've given her advice on my approach. Observe what makes smut work in fics I've enjoyed, read romance novels that tend to be more erotica, pay attention to what makes a sex scene work in movies or tv shows.
I didn't tell her I've watched a lot of porn through the years. I've also listened to audio porn which helps a lot with dirty talk. I also spend so much time working out my sex scenes. I edit my fics very heavily and when editing my smut I get really technical. I read and imagine my characters in the positions they are in, focus on what they are feeling, read and reread to make sure their movements make sense, look over words and phrases to make sure it doesn't sound weird or stupid. IDK It's easy to air out my dirty laundry when I talk about reading smutty fanfics or romance erotica but telling others that I watch porn videos and listen to NSFW audio porn it feels too personal. 🤷♀️
Also, I don't want my friend to think she has to do what I do to become good at writing smut. Everyone finds their own technique and methods.

(Anonymous) 2021-02-15 03:27 am (UTC)(link)Personally, a lot of the dirty talk in some smutty audio I've listened to just makes me laugh so i can't but please feel free to include recs???
But I get that it's hard to explain certain things like this to others.

(Anonymous) 2021-02-15 09:10 am (UTC)(link)Didn't expect anyone to respond to my ranting. LOL Ah, thanks. It does mean my mind is in the gutter a lot of times when I'm writing smut, but I want to be a better smut writer so I gotta push myself to think harder about sex.
NGL A LOT of audio porn sucks. IDK if I have any to really recc? I go on Youtube and search on there and try to find something that works for me (I use a burner account so my main doesn't get tainted). I've gone to Pornhub too, but both places YMMV. I've been into writing praise kinks. M praising F, mostly, but I also love F praising M so I listen to both audio porn M4F and F4M. There are queer audio porn too, so if you're looking for MFM, F4F, M/F4A there are audios for them too (though I've never listened to them, so I don't know the quality/believe-ability). What I like in my audio porn is a good script and a voice actor who appeals to me (which for women is a feminine voice but I like slightly lower tone, for men I like lower tones but not too low and his tone has to be affectionate, I don't like the more authoritative "Daddy Dom" voice, yuck), so it's hard to find what I'm looking for.
