PWP

[Guest jj19]

Porn without Plot/Point. What kind of story should get this tag?

The term is self-explanatory. It generally indicates a short fic (one or two chapters) with very little plot trailed by lots of smut. Typically, the story ends when the smut is over.

I've written some NaruGaa PWP for the Naruto fandom (basically everything I've written for that pairing, LOL). If you need an example, pop on over and have a go at Oranges. I promise you there isn't a plot to be found for miles in that oneshot.

In my experience, a PWP is where the characters involved have little-to-no backstory and the actual sex is the majority of the chapter.

Also (and this is just my opinion), PWPs are usually written as masturbatory aids. If a fic is mostly sex but it clearly isn't supposed to be erotic, it may not be a PWP.

Hmm, so in general you would make the following tests?

1. Is it 1-2 chapters, no planned continuation?

2. Why was the fic written?

3. Is there more than just smut?

4. Was it written to get people off?

1. Yes, in theory. Although if you're courageous, you could aim for plot in a sequel, though it is hardly necessary.

2. Sometimes you just want to read about the characters you like going at each other. So you write PWP. More than one chapter in a PWP fic may indicate a moresome, which may require more writing, or you may write one chapter of a fic per pairing. It's up to you.

3. Again, the term 'porn without plot' is self-explanatory. Trust me on this. There doesn't need to be plot; there are PLENTY of other fics on this site with very well thought-out plots. This is gratuitous lemon, plain and simple. The presence of plot indicates that the story is something OTHER THAN PWP.

4. I write mine to stoke myself. I don't practice masturbation in general, but it wouldn't surprise me if someone used PWP fanfiction to get off that way.

I try to put some plot in my oneshot (and moresome?) requests, but they serve mainly to set the scene. Some will be single chapter ones, while others will be 2 chapters plus.

I think these would fall into PWP, but I am not certain

My main story will consist of 4 parts, I already have and intro and 2 chapoters up, with two more to follow shortly and several more I am working on. Every chapter has some sort of sex act, but they are not necessarily smut (of course some people think otherwise, but everyone has their own fetishes/quirks). I wrote it because it offered an interesting challenge for each part and there should be more 40k fics.

Would that be PWP?

Would you say that their is a stigma with PWP?

Side question, is moresome the opposite of oneshot?

If smut between certain characters is the point of the fic, then it's PWP. Go for it.

PWP doesn't necessarily have to be a lemon. I wrote a lime called The Rule that is PWP. There was no other purpose for that fic than the smut that occurred between the characters.

I don't know about any stigma with PWP. I've seen fics on this site that run the gamut. What I do know is that when it comes to PWP all bets are off. There are no rules, no boundaries. For my money PWP fanfiction is more popular than chaptered fanfiction with an honest-to-goodness plot.

A moresome is a fic involving smut between more than three characters. A oneshot is a fic that is only a chapter long. A moresome can be as many chapters as you want it to be.

Are you in need of a beta?

Okay

Thanks, I thought it was that, but was not a 100% sure. Maybe orgy would have been a clearer (and shorter) tag

Are you in need of a beta?

Um, no? I already have a beta (two actually). I just don't know every term. If you want to beta for me, then PM or e-mail me.
