Argh, logistical difficulties

[darkluna]

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. :(

Hm, well, I always take tips and essays and such with a grain of salt, because human sexuality is so diverse, people like it and do it in so many different ways. ^^

And I see you're considering lotion or cooking oil, which I think are good substitutes, because they're usually handy (somehow) and they work - using cooking oil can be especially fun to write! :D And ouch, yeah, unless your 'bottoming' character is a real masochist, I'd stay away from stuff like shampoo. >D; I'm in agreement with you that something about it should be included in the writing, though, regardless.

Good luck with your fic!

Thanks! I'm probably worrying about it too much. I still have smut embarrassment issues. I think I'll just try to keep writing and see what happens. Hey, they're geniuses, they'll figure something out. :)

Lol, I figured it was Mello and Near. :D

And btw, see that Near in your icon? That's the face he makes when he gets shampoo up the ass. >D

Hee. It was the part about not admitting he was planning on doing anything naughty, right?

Oh, man, I love, with a love that makes me flail about, how totally demented and loopy Near looks in this icon. (Yours amuses me, too!)

[astizya-ii.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was that whole line.

I <3 it, too. (The Near in my icon is a crazy slut. :D)

Hey, he'd enjoy it even more! ...This is kind of making me want to write a shampoo torture fic with Mello, Matt, and Near. :/

The Near in your icon and the one in camillabloom's should get together. >;-)
