Is it just me, or does smut go slower than self-indulgent psychobabble, in the writing?
500 words down, with an estimated 1,500 to go. I need mood music. Suggestions, anyone? Also, the matter of a beta. I never really expected I'd have any great shakes in terms of readership, and so I wrote mostly for the joy of it-- But what if I get all redundant and narsty-arse cliche-y, or leave an importanto thought unfinished, or am just bad at scripting sex? What then?
As with most things, the doing is rather easier than the writing-about. An example? On a lazy day, wouldn't you rather stand up and go get a glass of milk from the kitchen than impeccably document the details of such an action, which meanwhile would be fictional? Bah. But I rant! Really, it's not all that bad-- I know just what I want to happen, y'see, but there's the whole matter of joining all the actions in order to produce one whole and fluid act. Which is not so much a concern in real life, as one has the automatic, standardized sequencing done for them by that little gem of a dimension, Time.
Ironic, given the fandom in question, eh?
As I said-- Mood music. *saunters off to track some down*...
***EDIT: 1,125 words down... maybe as much to go. Ought to be up by tomorrow night!
