Haha, this is true! I try to help out wherever I can, too, and there isn't exactly a requirement of how good of a writer you have to be.
Whoops, hope I didn't sound too creepy. I just, honestly, don't get a chance to talk with really good writers all that often, and when I do I just shower them in compliments. Like now. And hah, I'm the same! I usually just mutter 'thank', or, over the internet, do similar to what you did- 'tiruhdjfsk thank'(just with a bit less grace than you XD).
I made a prompt in which I offered to fill other's people's suggestions, or whatever they commented below. I got like 5 suggestions. I only did 1. So I feel you. Except, I don't think I could ever write as much as you have, hah. I normally get bored unless writing with another person.
This is just one coincidence after another- I, too, am ace-probably-aro. I've never tried writing porn and I don't think I ever will, at least not any time soon, because it basically makes me really really uncomfortable, oops.
whoops. yeah, i am that person. just figured it might've been easier for you to talk somewhere else other than the comments, if this was getting to crowded, but if you don't wanna talk over tumblr, that's fine!!

Naw you're not being creepy! I'm just used to being one of the less experienced writers I know, there are several people in my immediate social circle who are professionally published writers, hahaha.
Haha, I've always felt being asexual has given me an advantage in writing porn! Because it's less personal, I guess? There's a trick to it, I think--good porn has a structure to it that's almost the same as good humor, drama, or horror. Or music, really! In any of these, it's a matter of the interplay between setting up, meeting, and thwarting audience expectation. The difference between them is mostly the nature of the expectations that you're playing with.
Omg I really like FeminineShep. THAT'S ADORABLE oh Jack. Oh Shepard. Oh Miranda, what must walking in on that have been like? (Was she thinking Jack was pretty, I bet I would have been thinking Jack was pretty.)
Frustrated Shep is great too. (HI WREX AND VICTUS! 8D) Having to herd all of these recalcitrant alien cats, poor Shepard!
(The multilateral opposition to the krogan cure in canon, that was always a bit of a head-scratcher for me. We get a lot of hints from canon that the previous Reaper Wars turned into gruesome slow wars of attrition, which means you need a steady source of warm bodies to throw at the problem... and who better than the fast-breeding, long-lived krogan? That is, if and only if they're cured.)
TUMBLR IS FINE FOR ME just checking, I was actually also getting a bit of askbox hate yesterday, so it was among strange company haha.

haha that's good. i always fear i just praise a bit too much, oops.
honestly, when i write, it's quickly and usually off the top of my head. i don't really plan things out. i, oddly enough, used to be able to write better, back when i first started. it wasn't a matter of skill, but i actually enjoyed writing back then, and now i'm just like eh. i was writing a story with a friend that got up to about 133 google doc pages, but then things happened and she decided she 'would never write with me again' and blah blah blah you get the idea. which kind of sucks, considering that it was the only thing i enjoyed writing, but eh. for some reason, i just can't seem to write any more, at least not anything long. maybe i'll try after i finish writing this message, heh. and oops i rambled my bad.
i'm really glad you like it! i just had the idea of 'am i interrupting something.' being a closing line, it was way funnier in my head though. and jack woouulldd have looked pretty, because let's be honest her in-game face is freaking gorgeous like wth, but the dress looked like something a 15-year-old would wear, not an adult. so, y'know, frilly and knee-length and sequin-y and not fancy. does that make sense? i guess it's also a matter of the fabric used, erighjk.
i didn't have many ideas for that, and i feel that victus and shepard are totally out of character(in my own fill). but i can definitely imagine wrex saying those things. (oh and, i first thought you literally meant cats and now i have a great prompt idea that may turn into a self fill)
well, i guess, the other species still hadn't entirely absorbed the idea of what they were up against. call it shock, i guess, but not really. i think i read this in a book once- a thousand people die, it's a tragedy, but millions or even billions of people at once die and it's not even comprehensible. the numbers are too high to really grasp. so, i guess, most people didn't really realize that there most likely wasn't going to be anything after the war, and that they were all going to die without the krogan. however, they had dealt with krogan in the past, and i guess felt they would take out the rest of the galaxy after the war. does what i'm saying make any sense?
i'm lucky enough to not have gotten askbox hate yet. probably because im not actually popular enough to get askbox hate, haha. i'm gonna presume that's why you turned anon off?
and that's cool! if it's ok, can i message you? or you can message me, either way, but it's kinda getting cluttered in this reply section. not unreadbale, just a loooot of replies.
