I always forget how completely incapable I am of writing anything much stronger than kissing until I try it and end up sullenly pouring red wine down my throat and prodding my keyboard with a maudlin expression in the hope that, I don't know, the porn fairy will appear and take pity on my liver.

Seriously, you guys, my firstborn for the ability to spin straw into porn.

Why do I convince myself that This Time I Will Manage It? Why do I sign up to do collabs with filthy-minded* people? These are the questions I ask myself.

(UM, ILU LIZARD <33 DON'T KILL ME. MUCH.)


*Let's be honest here, my mind is as filthy as that of the next person who has been in fandom for seven years, I am just in possession of far too many mind-to-fingers filters.

What? It's not like you do it often.

:P

Last week I wrote 1600+ words of porn while a) so nauseated I literally could not hold my head in any other position without feeling I was about to dissolve into a puddle of sick, and b) so tired I had lost all sense of shame, style, or self editing. I have yet to look at it with sane eyes and when I do I expect it to be dreadful, but at least it exists.

So while I'm not EXACTLY suggesting you catch the flu in order to lose your writing inhibitions, uh... maybe something less drastic? But only somewhat? >:)?

I know what you mean. It's like you have these images in your head and while they're there it's all, "Fuck yeah, that's hot!" but then you try to write it down and end up finding it sounding really weird in words. Sometimes I rephrase some pornish thing dozens of times before finally giving up because my writing is fail at conveying sexiness.

...Yeah, I usually take the "stay up far, far too late until all the internal editing filters are borked" option. It's not that I'm embarrassed, per se, it's just that all the words stop sounding so silly.

YOU CAN DO IIIIT.

(If it helps, I do not think Holmes and Watson will have cybersex in their letters. So I will spare your liver!)
