I have been stuck in writer’s block hell for so long I can’t even remember when it started. I know I bought a new laptop last year and never bothered to download any word processor to it. Why? I wasn’t going to use it. Then out of nowhere, at work, not a likely location, a rabid plot bunny attacked. It won’t let go. I’m so strangely excited. I thought that part of my brain had died. Cheers to the writers and their rabbits.

Ooh I learned something new today! I agree on pessimism; I’ve written pretty dark circumstances, but hope and humor have always been central themes in my writing. @Mal That’s actually a really compelling setup so good on you! I would posit something maybe controversial: if she and Alex are happy together in the end, maybeeee… It doesn’t matter what everyone else thinks? Maybe in the story, that’s just between them and they don’t need outsiders passing judgement on what transpired. Obviously, the relationship can never be completely morally clean and conscionable and I’m pretty sure Alex would burst into flames if he walked into a church, BUT I don't think anyone would complain if you went the romance route. I mean, I haven't even read your story and I'm kind of shipping Alex and the crazy chick I’ll have people on my own (very rapey) fic commenting on the two lines of snuggling I wrote after an entire chapter of rape and wondering which of his victims the MC is going to hook up with in the end and I’m just here like, wow, that wouldn’t be healthy at all. But we’re writing dark fantasies which are completely fictitious anyway; so that’s just part of the territory. And I’m sure you’ve already tagged out the wazoo so it is what it is, eh?

It’s nice when a plot bunny strikes after so long. I know exactly what that’s like. I had one strike after a very long pause, but it seems to have died half way through.

KassX, my current chapters tend to range around 10k, and I average 1-2 scenes per. Having said that though, I think it also greatly depends on how many characters you’re working with and the circumstances that are going on. A lot of times my main character, Alex will feature in both scenes. But sometimes he’s only in one. There was also a point in the story where he was gone for like 5-6 chapters and none of the sex scenes featured him. To me, the plot should ALWAYS dictate the smut. But, having said that, I AM writing smut so I always try to include at least one scene in every chapter. I also think that its more important for the smut to make sense and further the plot than to just be something gratuitous and tacted on because you needed smut. I don’t know if that helped, lol I just wanted to chime in!

Well I’d argue it depends on the sex drive and circumstance much like real life. Somepeople fuck like bunnies and some people enjoy turning it into an eventful hour-long event with sensual precision

Download that word processor! Strike while the bunny is humping!

I snorted. You sound like my kind of erotica writer.
