If not, it was some other serious and thoughtful essay about porn and fanfiction that I read in early 2002, and i don't know who else that would be, if not Te.
I think it was Te because I remember reading a similar essay on her website a couple of years ago and it has stayed with me. I do my best to remember it whenever I write, especailly porn, because the story shouldn't be about me - it should be about the characters.
Why isn't there more of the pairing? I would totally read it. (Of course, that's mostly because a) Paul Gross, though very very pretty, does nothing for me out of character, and b) I think Hugh Dillon is icky. But whatever.)
Re: the porn thoughts and not especially writing your own kinks. I'm not sure that I totally agree. I think my best sex scenes are ones where I am/would be turned on by what's happening. It makes it easier if I have an "in" with the character - though that "in" has to make sense within the context of the story.
My favourite sex scene that I've written involves RayK having an ear piercing and Fraser playing around with it at the beginning, since piercings are a huge kink of mine. I think writing that kink helped make the rest of the sex flow better - it seemed that I was able to write more realistically because I was writing a kink I liked versus maybe a kink that a character might like (i.e. Fraser might be really into rimming, since he licks everything else! But I'm not and writing rimming isn't going to be much fun for me)
However, in the story I wrote, it made sense for Ray to have an earring, it wasn't just gratious, OOC hotness.
Well, self-indulgent or not, I'm really enjoying these random posts, especially since I can't really write with any satisfactory degree of skill and am very happy when my self-indulgent thoughts appear out of other people's brains. So thank you, again.

Am I making any sense here?
