Feeling really shallow

Which Buffy Bad Guy Are You? Find out @ She's Crafty

Wow, after spending two hours of writing porn I feel rather shallow. Hence the stupid test.

I never realized how difficult it is to write a threesome and not get all the limbs tangled up. Don't you just hate it when you read a hot smut scene and suddenly someone seems to have three hands? And what's it with the missionary position? Is it because lovers are always supposed to look at each other?

And what about the copious amounts of cum (cute little word that, don't think I'll ever get used to it). *Snort* I mean seriously, is anyone really interested in reading (!) cum shots? They're boring enough in porn movies, reading about them isn't any more interesting. And I must say, quantity isn't everything.

Oh, and I always wondered about this clishé: has anyone actually ever felt a man's cum 'splash' into her? Am I missing out here? Do I have to consider myself seriously handicapped if I don't feel the 'impact' - whatever the temperature?

Does anybody else think that writing smut is seriously hard work?

Right, I better get back to making Anya, Spike and Xander boink like happy little bunnies. Um, okay, maybe not bunnies ('sorry, Anya!').

Let's Talk About Sex

Once upon a time there was a fledgeling fanfic writer, who discovered the joys of slash quite by accident (thinking that a site called 'Slashing the Angel' surely hosted torture fics, eww!). However, then she came across Pet's Educations series and mpoetess's "Chocolatey Goodness". What a discovery! Our fledgling writer felt tempted to write some slash fic of her own, just a short X/S fic, nothing fancy, and ended up writing a long series, one she never quite finished, namely:

Let's Talk About Sex

Rating: NC-17 for smut (both her and slash) and language
Pairing: X/S, S/Anya, X/Anya plus (in the pipeline) X/S/Anya

Summary: Vaguely set in a much lighter S6, where Buffy and Spike had sex just once; For Anya's birthday Xander decides to give her a threesome and recruits Spike for the event (wanting the vampire for Anya's pleasure but quickly coming to think of other applications for the blond menace)

Genre/Warnings (for the whole series): AU, comedy, fluff, angst, romance, friendship, some bad jokes, some song lyrics, pot, pop culture, wanking and no Anya-bashing whatsoever - plus everybody is extremely consenting :-)


This was the first smut I ever wrote. My lack of experience shows in the first few chapters, but I think from chapter 5 onwards it's not so bad. I enjoyed writing it and it's irked me for months that I lost impetus so close to the finishing line.

Since then, the story has been nominated in the Candy Store Awards for Best Threesome. I suppose it would be more flattering if the nomination were in any of the other categories, but I'm happy anyway. Besides, there's not much competition in that category. Anyway, the nomination seems to have provided me with a much needed nudge, because I'm really determined now to give this smutty little guilty pleasure a proper ending.

In order to put pressure on myself to finally finish this baby, I'm posting a little peek preview, i.e. a few paragraphs of the chapter I'm currently working on (I should warn you, they will undoubtedly be rewritten somewhat, but to give you a little taste of what's coming, they should suffice):
