So the topic of smut writing came up earlier today and I\u2019m just reaching out into Tumblr land to see if I can gather up thoughts on how all of you out there started writing sexy times.<\/p>\n

Share with me your stories! The behind the scenes on your journey to smut writing!<\/p>\n

How did you feel about writing smut BEFORE you actually started writing it? Were you nervous or did you just jump in? Do you ever get self-conscious about what you\u2019re writing? Do you have a\u00a0\u201cgo-to\u201d formula and\/or kink?<\/p>\n

So on and so forth.<\/p>\n

Speak to me! I\u2019m curious!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Re: Smutfic. I got into fandom very late. Like 34. I read a lot of smutfic before i ever started writing it. <\/p>\n

My fanfic journey pretty much went Jack Harkness> Torchwood> Sherlock, as far as reading it is concerned. \u00a0 I was a little nervous at first, but considering the first thing i wrote for Sherlock was a threesome, I pretty much just went in with both feet. Aside from a wee bit of Janto, I\u2019m pretty sure Sherlock was the first fandom I wrote smut for.<\/p>\n

I do get self conscious sometimes. I\u2019ve been known to mutter\u00a0\u201cI am so going to hell for this.\u201d But at this point most of the embarrassment is gone. Though I do struggle with feeling like I\u2019m\u00a0\u201cjust\u201d a smut writer and not important.<\/p>\n

What tends to be essential to me, even in a 700 word pwp, is that there\u2019s some emotion involved. Tab A to Slot B gets boring, and even if you kink it up, there still needs to be a reason why <\/i>these two (or three or four) are going at it. Same reason why I\u2019m a multishipper. Give me a reason why these two would work. Though I don\u2019t generally take much convincing.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no real go-to (though maybe my readers have noticed stuff I haven\u2019t). I\u2019ll pretty much take a crack at writing most kinks.<\/p>\n

My personal golden rule for writing is simply\u00a0\u201cDoes this make sense?\u201d Am I keeping track of what limbs are where and who is doing what? Does it make sense for these characters to be doing this now? If it is a little OOC, is there a reason why? Stuff like that.<\/p>\n

Have I rambled enough? Questions?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
