Argh, logistical difficulties

Like a good girl, I've read Minotaur's Sex Tips for Slash Writers, which is all "Lube, lube, lube. Oceans of it. No such thing as too much. For the love of Eros, don't even think about trying a first time with no lube!" I read it early enough in my slash-writing adventures that it made a big impression on me, so I feel like, "No, sir. I would certainly never try anything without lots of lube. Please don't send the fanfic police after me."

Now that I have a story that actually wants teh sexx0rs, um. We don't have any lube. One character wouldn't own any, and the other wouldn't have brought any (since that would be admitting he planned on having sex, which he wouldn't admit even if he did).

*cries*

Maybe I should just start writing yuri.

Also: Happy birthday to Matt! Who isn't in this story. :(

How important is it to you to be totally realistic and absolutely detailed? As a longtime reader of short fiction, I'm accustomed to simply assuming the necessary details and don't always need them spelled out for me.

Well, true, but I don't want people to think I forgot about it. I don't think you can just assume there's lube, especially when it would be unusual for someone to have it about.
