Fic rec for OP

[(Anonymous)]

And anyone who feels the same way.

I love her published work under her real name and as T. Kingfisher, but this makes me wish Narnia was public domain already.

tbh this is one of the reasons I love fanfic for The Hobbit movies~ It's great. I don't care that the movies themselves weren't the greatest (I love them anyway) but I love the shipping it brought about.

American society (or at least the casting directors in Hollywood) have hangups about men that are shorter than their romantic love interest. I very much wish it wasn't the case either.

[(Anonymous)]

NGL, OP...this sounds hot when you put it this way. I'm kinda...digging this (pun not intended)

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you secret maker! Your art choice is as ever on point.

And yes, The Hobbit fanfiction has helped. And The Dwarves by Markus Heitz is great I highly recommend it even if it is not romance.

I don't want to be too explicit here, so I won't be.

I really want to read your fic op. I don't care if you are a virgin, I cod really use some decent erotica in my life right now.

[(Anonymous)]

Same hat!

I'm not at all interested in engaging in sex... but I've read enough about it, both fiction and non-fiction, that I do feel competent-- and the 'thank god, someone who knows what they're talking about' comments on my erotica speak to that.

I mean, I've never fought a demon or been to space, either, so like... emotional truth, a reasonable amount of research, and a can-do attitude are always going to beat 'write what you know' in my book. Get down with your bad self, fellow virgin eroticist.

Hello fellow fanfic-writing virgin :D

[(Anonymous)]

I quite like the image you chose for this secret, OP. It just amuses me. But that's awesome about your writing skills! Definitely drop your fic links if you're comfortable with it.

I've never kissed anybody and don't have any sexual experience, so I always feel like I've got no right to write scenes like those for my fics. I really shouldn't though because I also don't have any experience flying a spaceship and I've written about that.

Congrats on the compliments and thanks for sharing this secret! I hope it helps other people feel more confident giving smut writing a go without necessarily needing “hands-on” experience.

Learning how to write good smut FROM good smut is as valid as learning to write idk, an accurate portrayal of farming from a good farming fic.

When I had limited sexual experience I bought into the idea that you needed to have done the full works to know how to write good smut. Let me tell you, several years of experience later...it's a lie. And I'm amazed when I see people still arguing that you need to have had sex to write it properly.

I've read some AWFUL sex scenes from people who mention they are married and/or have kids in their author's notes. So presumably they've had actual real life sex. My attitude is: even the sexually experienced aren't immune from writing cliche god awful Insert Thing A into Part B porn. I know this is low hanging fruit but the woman who wrote 50 Shades presumably had sex and the quotes I've seen from her sex scenes are basically anti-horny "congrats, my vagina is dust" etc.

There are so many things in writing that I'll never directly experience but if I can get into the head of my characters and do the research, my readers will barely mention it, and definitely not say it matters. I don't get why there's so much gatekeeping nonsense over sex like that's any different.

How're y'all doing?

It's a rainy, gloomy Sunday where I am and I both love it and hate it. Love it, because we desperately need the rain and hate it because I don't drive so if I want to go out, I have to go out in it.

I've spent most of the day playing Tears of Themis instead and I'm really enjoying it. My phone is charging right now, so I have to take a break, and I'm all 'but, but... I don't want to'.

I've also got a doctor's appt later this week to talk about my anti-anxiety/anti-depression meds and I'm going to bring up the possibility of these being connected to an inattentive ADHD diagnosis. I've never been tested but it runs in my family and I've been doing a lot of reading lately and it really sounds like there's a good chance I've got it despite the fact that my coping methods are pretty good at compensating for it. An inattentive ADHD is frequently misdiagnosed in women by GPs as anxiety/depression.
