I was issued a challenge by a young male WoW friend the other day; write another sex scene.
So 3 ideas later, I'm halfway there. It's odd though, it takes about 4 times as long for me to write a sex scene as it does to write a bloody murder or something. The only thing I'm really worried about is variety... there's nothing I dislike more than repetative sex... if I wanted that then I would still be with my ex -.-
Also trying to make it actually part of the storyline - i.e. not gratuitous - is a little hurdle. On top of that the overall quality of the story itself... I HAVE to keep an eye on that.
I recently read 'Claimed by Shadow' by Karen Chance, and although I thoroughly commend her on her ideas (I mean, seriously, a dude that does magical moving tattoos is completely awesome) but every time something drastic happened like she gets raped, she has sex with her ex-roomate, she goes to the Fae Realm... I dunno it
seemed like a majority of 'action-packed' moments were just... there cause she felt like it. It wasn't convincing enough for me I guess. Like
this happened, then
that happened, then
this happened and Zzzzzzzzzz....
I'd be interested to find out where she got her influences from though. If there's any lore behind it all or if it sprung from her imagination The idea of a psychic time/space ruler seemed pretty original, as did the paradox of her giving the Geis to whatsisname her old master in a massive time-loop accident (now
that was well done xD), and the ghost in her locket, Billy. The ghost in the locket was PRO.
Anyways, I must go back to my steamy sex scene (not that I'm complaining) but still... wish me luck! -.-
