  1. I think staying true to the character is the most important part.

    The question of foreplay is definitely one that has to take the character into account.

    I'm reminded of Bull Durham, where the woman tied a guy up and read him poetry ("Guys will put up with just about anything if the think it's foreplay.").

    Then again, there's The Three Amigos and the villain's new girl. ("Do you know what foreplay is?" "No..." "GOOD! Neither does El Guapo!").

    --------

    With all the size-themed sex i write, the variety of scale often seems to force me to be pretty graphic with a sex scene. With a man and a Lilliputian lover, the simple mechanics of 'What can she DO with that thing?' have to be spelled out. So most of my sex scenes turn into choreography. A hand here, a grip there, swing from the belt, walk across the belly, dig in the heels and stretch to reach the tip...

    But i agree, if the whole point of the fiction isn't the sex, sometimes it's tedious to spell it out when what you really want to do is get back to the dialogue, or the resolution, or the Naga...

  2. First off, thanks for the option.

    And, I think it makes more sense to have 'no anony' as the default.

    I am an absolute review whore, so i set my to 'yeah, freakin' everyone,' but i also have thick skin.

    But i've seen many authors put 'please review but be nice' in their story intro or description. I think they would prefer the extra layer of protection in that reviewers have to sign in before they can be not-nice.

    Until we actually have a survey of 'which do you want?' then 'no anony' makes more sense as the default.

  3. I recall about a dozen people telling me not to see 'Last Temptation of Christ,' because of one or another thing the movie showed.

    Not a one of them had actually seen the movie, nor were they entirely correct, i found upon seeing it.

    I'm never all that impressed with the reports of critics who actually saw a show, much less those that have 'heard' what there is to see.

    Okay, okay, your concerns are duly noted. Next?

  4. I was keeping a list of everyone i whipped a Magic Marker on, all in fun, so i could eventually send Nametags for them to reset the MM attack.

    But i seem to have used the paper to note a plot bunny that seemed to have a lot of potential, but died horribly when i tried to write it and in frustration i crumpled it, flattened it, fed it through the shredder, took the bag out back and burned the pile of paper strips and scared the neighbor who came over to put the fire out with a garden hose, but the spigot was frozen solid so he ended up rupturing his water line and as i was partially at fault (for the fire, not for his inability to handle temperature-based physics) i helped mop out his basement while the plumber made comments about people who were about as smart as a bag of hammers and ugly as a can of crushed assholes which made me wonder where the hell he came from because Massachusetts natives aren't quite like southerners, with the ready-for-use imagery of a quick, brutal simile, which gave me the story idea of a guy from the south, traveling around doing 'good deeds' with pithy similes and chewing tobacco, a sort of a Redneck Touched By An Angel and i started to write it and my son asked what i was doing and i asked what the hell he was doing home and it turns out that it's mid-terms at high school so he got the day off so he could look over my shoulder and cry, with delight, 'Redneck Touched By An Angel? You're doing a My Name Is Earl Fanfic?' to which i said 'no, this is a completely new work of fiction that wholly christ it is, isn't it? Get the hell out of here,' so to make a long story short, i lost the list.

    Now i can't send tags to people i messed with for them to fix their tags. At least, not automatically.

    If anyone has been horribly oppressed by the new title i gave them, let me know in this thread, or send me a message, and i'll gladly post you a nametag to fix y'self with.

    And, of course, i have no list, so no way of knowing if i did or didn't mess with your tag, and i was doing a few of them about 1 in the morning so i can't even say 'THAT doesn't sound like something i'd write?' because even as i was typing them i had that thought but it was, at the time, too funny to pause. So, i suppose, i could just say 'I'll give a nametag to anyone that asks,' but where's the fun in that?

  5. Several of my stories have been inspired by the lyrics and/or melody of a song.

    They take me away somewhere, and i bring it back and type.

    The sources vary. Thomas Dolby, Wang Chung, Steely Dan, The Bangles, Rhiannon, Jethro Tull.

    Lamia was inspired by Billy Joel's "always a woman"

    If i'm not interpreting word lyrics to fit the vision of my kink, though, i tend towards movie soundtracks. They usually are written to highlight a scene, so there's a definite narrative element to the music. The rise, the tension, the fight, the surprise, the escape, the relief, the sudden shocking death...usually it helps me graph out a scene in what i'm writing.
