Interesting note...

Feb 25, 2010 22:28

Writing fight scenes is astoundingly similar to writing porn. It's just so... intimate... in a "we hate each other" kind of way. And all the rolling around and grappling and high emotions.

Hmmm.

Ooo! Looking forward to your next update. :-)

It's coming along nicely. I'm already 2400 words in.

YES! I noticed this similarity too! I think that's how I developed a love for consensual enemy hate!sex :D

Yeah, oh god, I'm watching my hubby play Assassin's Creed II (which by the way rocks your fucking socks off!) and every time your main character assassinates someone, it's manages to be so flipping tender. I almost expect it to include a kiss. It's the hottest (and wrongest) thing ever.

*_* OMG I am about to play Assassin's Creed II myself! Oh God, this news makes me wanna play it even more!!

Oh shit vel, are these scenes ficcable?? XD

velvet_mace February 26 2010, 16:51:03 UTC

Not the assassinations (not really, unless you are willing to write weird-ass non-con scenarios like me, or just extremely homoerotic violence) but Ezio and Leonardo are eminently ficcable together. As is Desmond and his fellow assassins in the "present day". Oh there is definitely ficcability to be found.

But dude, this game is absolutely beautiful. Scrumptious for the eyes. Well plotted. You are going to have a blast.

Yes, especially when it's a fist fight rather than a guns blazing fight. But then I guess if you aren't into writing homoeroticism gun's blazing is the way to go.

anat_astarte February 26 2010, 16:39:02 UTC

I dunno..guns are pretty phallic yes? It's all about the way one handles it I suppose XD

velvet_mace February 26 2010, 16:53:23 UTC

Yeah, but it's so masturbatory. When you shoot someone you are having a relationship with the gun and you are all into yourself and what hotshit you are. When you are fist fighting someone, grappling them and falling on top of them, tearing their clothes off... well... it's just another level.

Oddly, I've thought this for a while, I think it's because of the high level of passion and the need/desire for a climax though in the case of a fight chances are it's the other person's death or at least their blood.

*goes back to lurking.*

Sometimes killing the person seems very climactic... er ahem...
