Hi guys,

I had quite a few questions about smexy (porny-smutty-erotica-etc) writings and what works best or what people prefer to read, write etc but after reading some sites and consulting with fellow fan-friends the list of Qs is almost done.

I would still like to know what are people's preferences when it comes to QAF fics that have sex scenes and

I know this is such a pathetic response to the question, but honestly? I never really put much thought into it. :)

I always felt that writers tend to write sex scenes that they are comfortable with and with the style of writing that their work is already completed in will reflect that so it feels like a natural progression instead of being two different styles clashing together.

I've noticed that some authors will write very graphic sex scenes while others hint more at sex than full on graphic detail. Each style works with those authors and each story is enjoying on my end.

The part I hate is when an author tells me that there's plot to be had when it's really just one massive multi-chapter PWP. At least be honest with yourself, writing lots of sex scenes if fine, but don't tell me that there's serious business going on as well when clearly there isn't. ;)

I'm the first person to admit to readers that something is clearly PWP though I don't write many of those these days.

Ditto!

Nah, it's not pathetic I don't think I've given it this much thought until this weekend cuz I was rereading a few a bit more explicit fics and started thinking about the flow of it more closely -- and then my brain imploded. LOL

Yeah, sometimes it just seems more natural for just a hint of it instead of the whole *romp*.

Maybe some writers think it's plot cuz Brian seems to think sex is the entire plot of his existence -- besides work and Gucci, lolsy.

I got into an argument before with someone over fanfic that they tried to tell me was an 'emotional journey for Brian'. I finally asked them where, just the fuck (pardon my language) where Brian had time to have an emotional journey when all that was happening was massive amounts of sex. Unless the emotional journey came into play by Brian continually thinking the person he was fucking at the time was 'the hottest person like ever! OMG!' I failed to see where any emotional development came into play because unless there was talk about food and/or showers the rest of the time they were having sex. Hence my comment earlier to at least admit that's what you are writing, don't sugarcoat it

Holy tricks, that sounds really boring with just loads of sexsexsex and some more seeeeeeeex. Hmmm, I am pretty sure I haven't read this emo journey nor will I if it can be avoided. lol

Hmm, I am no shrink or psychologist but I guess in a way Brian is fucking not only for the sake of fucking itself but to 'say' to the rest of the world (mostly his parents and society, even the LGBT community) to fuck off of his case with telling him who and what to be/fuck and what is moral/acceptable blah blah blah. But to actually go and make an entire book out of Brian's tricking doesn't strike me as 'making Brian's statment obvious or a life-changing epiphany while in somebody's ass'. AHEM.

Oh My BDSM, that is hillarious!!! Transcribing actual porn. FACEPALM.

Pets you. The fandom's ways are mysterious indeed.

I always figured Brian's massive 'fuck you' to all of those people was the fact that not only was he a successful business man, he managed to 'be the stud', and he lived the way he wanted to.

Something that always struck me as interesting in the show that despite Brian's remarks against relationships he seemed to be the one that most members of the 'gang' ran to when they had issues and many times had solid advice to offer then. (Maybe not always put in the most 'kind' way, but majority of the time he offered reasonable solutions to their problems.)

And yet, 'he' didn't know what he was doing. ;)

[sungaizing85]

EXACTLY!!!

Oh, I used to stomp my foot like a baby when I'd see Mel and/or Linds preching to him...AHEM...hellouuuu, they both cheated/lied etc to eachother how many times? Always some issues with their 'commitment' and he always somehow helped even if it was done in a 'flippant' way.
