Got writer's block? Want to improve your prose? Grammar and spelling gotcha down? Then get out your sock puppets and chuck your sanity to the wind! (sanity is the number one block to writing)

I write what I feel as well as stuff that I'd like to have happen for real. Since I read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy, I guess this means that I have a decent imagination. I also read a lot of romance novels so sometimes I can get a little carried away in writing style.

In some of my earlier pieces, you can definately tell that I was making my target audience the romance novel readers (I was trying to get published at the time). Now, I write the way I want to read. Graphicly.

My best advice is to write what you like. Read a lot of different fics by different authors and see what clicks for you. I'm not saying copy how someone else writes. I've found that a person's writing style is usually a melting pot of their favourite authors thrown together to make a new style unique to them. Don't worry to much over personal experience (or lack there of) as it is fiction you're writing. Just write what you'd like have happen in your life. Reality rarely compairs to fiction anyway.

It makes sense on what you're saying Iron Dog. The melting with how you want it written and how you've seen it done by your favorite authors.

Considering, the fact that i can never sit in front of a computer to type one singular story is the problem. I leave it. Then when i come back i loose where i am at.

If i reread what i wrote, i loose where i was going with the passion of the fic. It is complicated writing lemons period, if you have no real experience. ^^;

I shouldn't be giving you advise considering I write crap lemons, but i can give you advise as a non-virgin and I also have my trusty male freind, david, to give you the male perspective.

With the first few lemons i wrote, they felt empty. There was seriously something missing, but i posted them enyway because i worked too hard to not put it on. But, in faces, my attitude changed. I stopped focusing more on the sexy side of it and the fantasy sid, and more on what the characters feel. I thought, I have done this before, and i thought about it and put exactly what i felt into words. it's all very well saying the functions of sex, but it's another thing getting the reader to relate to hoe you describe it. If what they read doesn't match what they feel wheh they do it, the story loses its appeal. The idea is to generate the same feeling. To do that, you have to know exactly what it is. Think about it and keep playing it over and over in your head, preferably in a quiet room so you can focus more.
If you want to make it graphic you dont have to use terms such as 'dick' and stuff. If you use them exessively, the scene looses the mood. There's nothing worse than getting tingly and then you see a word and think 'well that's a spoiler'. Another hint, make it last. Some people make the actual joining and motion last one short [paragraph. It needs to be longer. Relate the time periods in the story to those in real life. Another hint, do not go off topic. Describe feelings but not too much or the reader wont know where the scene began or ended.
That is the advise of a female.
David says.......

"it's ok to do the touchy feely thing but dont do it too much, coz the people reading arent all gonna be girls. There needs to be an element of erotica in it. But, as bet said, there needs to be an element of truth to it. a guys not gonna get thrills (im sorry but he actually said that^_^;;) by reading a story. He needs to revive and relive the experience in his mind. Thinking baout it is what does him (OMG i am so sorry :oops: ) the favour. For a guy, it is 90% the case that he wants to get himself done even if the girl doesn't. It's just the way it is. so you may want to tone down the 'i'll wait for you' scenario. It usually the case that they make up for it later. Or they just give the girl an intense amount of foreplay before hand so she comes at roughly the same time anyway."

I just wanna add that there are quite a few cases where they are too stupid enought to remeber to do that *glares at ex boyfreind JASON!!!!!!!!!* :evil:

anyways, that my advise.

if you haven done it yourself, try to get the experienc some other way. david, ever the pervert, recomends some real erotica.....*rolls eyes*

Where is the gap between real erotica and porn?

Not that anyone on this forum can be accused of writing anything of that nature *squirm...hides*
For a guy, it is 90% the case that he wants to get himself done even if the girl doesn't.

Which makes life harder for those of us who don't think that way :-?

I believe in love stories but despise romances.

I want to write fics that slap all the standard fanfiction conventions around the face with

Porn is something that you see in those sleazy, cheap porn flicks where the girl is doing a pathetic imitation of moaning and going "oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah--" and I'm sure that says clearly what porn is. ;) Honestly porn is just bleh. At least the videos are; quite stupid, I think, personally. Image wise....

Real Erotica... I suppose you could define something under that term when it comes to stories, stories that you would find under the 'Erotica' section in like Chapters; mind you, *ahem*, they have quite a good selection... the only thing that, I personally, find as a turn off are some of the words they use.

I think the gap is somewhere along the lines of Porn being--Hell, I don't really know. :D

Either way I think erotica is better then porn. :D :D :D :D And that's probably because with erotica, it's in story-format and with a story, you have to manually visualize in your head the imagery, when with porn, you watch it on the television. ^___^

Yea i gotta agree with 8-am ranting chick who hasn't gone to sleep cuz she stays on the comp.

^^ i luv ya leia

But yea, at least with writing there is imagination to it, as to where porn flicks just throw some chick with fake boobs and a guy who just wants to fuck and can't really do shit in a tiny little studio. With erotica i gotta say it seems much more fascanating. Descriptions along with the feel thats going on...at least in my opinion. ^^
