Iggy_lovechild

Well...I haven't really watched much Transformers, but I imagine the best porn would involve the human characters of the anime using the "male" Transformers like dildos or something. I don't know where the hell that came from.

Hmmm...seems to me that would completely contridict the point of "InuYasha". *thinks* Letsee...If I remember correctly, the general idea goin' when it comes to the Onigumo/Kikyou/InuYasha fiasco and how that connects with Kagome is so was...called into the past due to unfinished business. All that fate crap. Her past incarnation fucked up good and proper and so she needed to fix things. Of course if there's something you really want to touch on then by all means go after it.

Indeed!

The hell? It's my first time in here and the first thing I read about is Transformers porn???!!! Gods but this forum never gets old....

*headdesk* America is going to drive me mad. So how much longer do ya think it'll be before the witch burnings/hangings come back?

I am reminded of a real mainstay of mine with most of my erotica: Talking during sex. Not even really dirty talk, either (though these days with a certain red-head as a muse, it does tend to get kinda graphic). It's just this really odd thing. Just another way that I express my characters, i suppose. Anyway, I always have so much fun with the dialogue in those scenes.

I read a lot of fanfiction too but I'm also very picky. I don't think I've ever forgotten reading a story, but then again, when it comes to writing I have a fairly good memory with stories. Especially if I liked the story, a certain scene will stand out in my memory even months after I've read it.

If it's twenty pages of wonderful, bliss-inducing erotica, that's great. Do whatever you're most comfortable with. Although if it's bothering you, don't be a afraid to edit a little bit. I don't have really long lemons but they can be quite time-consumeing. Most of my focus is foreplay though. I tend to breeze through intercourse, just because I find it so hard to keep my focus on all that thrusting.

Usually when I'm writing I can listen to just about anything because I just end up zoning it out. But the emotions can effect me. If I'm writing for an angsty couple or an angsty story, I drag out The Cure; for something sexy, Genitorturers ( if the fuckig cd hadn't been stolen along with my purse late last year and yes I am still bitter); for everything else, NiN or Marilyn Manson usually does the trick.

*arches eyebrows* Actually all I write is for m/m couples these days. Mind you, I haven't written original fiction in a long while now, but if I did finally get off my ass and get on that, it would still be about men in love and lust. Hmm...Though i feel like I've misrepresented myself a little bit. I mean, I like more femenine men as well, i just don't like the girly-boy bullshit as portrayed in most yaoi. It's so difficult to explain because a lot of people assume that pretty=weak, which isn't true at all. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I dislike a submissive, clingy personality on men, which a lot of the worst uke stereotypes embody.

It really all depends on my mood. Sometimes I just want a something naughty to lubricate my brain, especially when I'm working toward a lemon in one of my own projects. Puts me in the right frame of mind. But ya know what I seriously love? Hot smut and a great storyline along with character exploration. Nothing better. It's hard to find. Happily, I'm reading one right now (sadly, it is not on AFF). Oh yeah, and if it weren't painfully obvious. I pretty much only read yaoi these days, because I love reading about two men in love and/or getting it on. (mind that men, of course...it's hard to find good male protrayals in fanfiction's yaoi department, I'm afraid.)

Well...In my case writing slash is rather personal. We'll just leave it at perhaps you're not that far off when you wonder if some writers want to be the male characters that they write about. Of course, given my track record, I actually can't stand the typical girly-boy bullshit. Mind you, I love beautiful men. Men with smooth skin and lush mouths, but I also like a measure of masculinity. When I write about two men in love/fucking, I want to write about two men, not one man and some adrogynous mess.

It just started me a little when I first saw it. I was like, "whoa, huh? Oh. Well...whatever." The reviewing thing is pretty cool though. I never had a problem with anon flamers, but a lot of my anon reviews were kinda pointless.

Well...You do bring up an interesting point. One that I have to take a little bit to heart. Some of my one-shot endings tend to be a little abrupt. Sometimes this is because the story's muse ran out and I tied things up as best that I could, and sometimes I just like leaving it up to the reader's imagination. Believe it or not, sometimes I don't feel like writing a lemon for a particular story, even if the set-up is clear as day. So I leave it at a good cut off point. Honestly, I write enough smut as it is that I don't feel like I'm cheating my readers.

Well...it's a step in the right direction, at least. It'll stop most of the idiots for the most part, the trouble makers. Ugh, I haven't had a chance to check up on my stories yet, but I usually just check on one of my fandoms on a daily basis. Hey, I'll deal just fine until it becomes more refined. At least AFF is better than most sites in that it's always trying to improve.

Yeah, so I'm a bit of a one-trick pony. Manipulation not mine, was done by a photoshop whiz at lj. The phrase is not only the name of my beloved RenoxCloud opus but the phrase that turns up a lot in me head when I think of them as a couple.

I think I took it all so hard because it wasn't at all what I'm expected, the direction the critisism went. I'm generally hard on myself as a writer and I'd be the first person to tell you exactly where I need to improve in my writing. It's odd, it seems my style and voice evolves and becomes surer with each fandom I tackle.

I'd only advise that if something...shocking if going to happen. Like...the story's couple have been pretty vanilla up until that point and then suddenly BONDAGE ATTACK! Okay, that's a bit of an extreme example, but I think you get the drift. Just you know... if you feel like it's a huge diversion from the story thus far.

At the time that I started using the screen name I was about 17 and obsessed with glam rock, adrogyny, and gender-bending. For a while the screen name had actually been "Iggy Pop's Lovechild" mostly because...well, Iggy Pop is a god, right? Eventually, it dawned on me that it was really too long for most places (and really quite stupid). So I changed it to "Iggy Lovechild". When I first started using it it was mostly to make my gender more questionable as an author because I'm forever paranoid of being judged on that basis. Eventually it just became a part of me. I write only under this name, both fanfics and otherwise, unless I have a desire to hide my identity or seperate myself from the stories (I did when I briefly wrote for uber-noncanon, much maligned IY pairing Sess/Kagome).

Well, I'll admit, I'm still feeling a little off-kilter, but I'm no longer trying to hold back shameful tears, if that's what you're saying. It was all perfectly valid critisism, so I'm pretty much over that, but there are still some things that I need to think about, ya know. I just finished revising the story in question, so I feel like I've accomplished something at least.

Well, I recently got some concrit on a lengthy one-shot series that I have posted on another site. I won't go into details, but let's say i was dealt with some harsh truths. I didn't need to read these reviews, they were regarding the rejection of the story into the site's featured listings, and I'd asked to know the specific reasons why it did not meet with the criteria. In other words, I'm not complaining and can actually understand the points that were brought up. What bothers me, is my initial reaction. It hurt and it upset me even though i had steeled myself and had imagined myself ready for anything. So how does one deal with this? Does it eventually get easier or will it always be a tough pill to swallow? I know I'm going to have to get used to criticism if I want to write professionally and see this very emotional reaction as a weakness that needs to be excised.

Hmm...your summary seems fine to me RedSliver. I mean, while cruising the listings, it would definately catch my eye. As for the acronyms, I usually only make note (in detail) of things that might specifically squick (or interest) people. I tend to warn a little more on my yaoi fics, so I don't get people freaking out about an explicit blowjob or on, the flip-side, a lack of "buttsecks". Though it's not common, (though I certainly haven't personally run into it) I've heard of lots of yaoi authors ending up with at least one asshole leaving some freaked out review: "Like omg! I hate yaoi! Why wasn't I warned???!!!" or something to that effect.

Briefly before AFF went down for that small eternity, the forum was added to the site. It was great fun, good times were had by all--aside from the fact that it used to crash all the goddamned time (at least for me, but i truly doubt I was the only one experiencing the problem). I think that might be what you're referring to. Hope it helps.

I'm kind of on the fence when it comes to snuff fics. One one hand I'm like..."hell no." On the other hand I'm fully aware of the violence endging my mind. Erm, i really liked Poppy Z. Brite's "Exquisite Corpse". I personally would never write a true snuff fic because, like Wotan, I'm a bit too close to the characters. Hmm...I wouldn't go as so far as calling it unhealthy or murderous or whatever to think of such things, just...*shrugs* A different way of expressing one's self. In the end, I gues we should be happy that it's only getting done in writing (we hope ). Personally, I don't wanna see characters of favourite fandoms chopped into little peices or skinned alive for the sake of a thrill or esoteric meaning. I guess I've always been a sucker for happy endings. Oddly Soe, the quote of yours that I high-lighted made me think of the end of the novel "Drawing Blood" (yet another book by Poppy Z.). ...I feel a little sad now....

"Red Bride" by Christopher Fowler. It's a little odd...British psychological thriller/horror. Good stuff, been a total mindfuck so far.
