Friending Meme

[ysabetwordsmith]

The New Year is a good time for a friending meme. Lots of folks dust off their blogs in January, and snowflake_challenge is running (one of Dreamwidth's biggest events). You can answer here, and copy your response to your own blog to stir up more interest if you wish.

Every time I see your icon I get warm fuzzies. I miss John&Rodney *sigh*

[vexed_wench]

I miss them as well. At least we have fandom ;)

[nsfwords]

And in fandom we get to see them get together, which is my fave. Do you ship them romantically or just as friends?

[vexed_wench]

I ship them as friends and lovers. My secondary pair is Rodney/Ronon.

I’ve read a few Rodney/Ronon that were lovely. Do you tend more towards gen fic, T for teen, or explicit?

[vexed_wench]

I always try for a good solid R but wind up with a strong teen. I wish I could do more explicit but sadly my muse sucks at it. I am guessing you are able to pull it off?

[nsfwords]

Not with fanfiction, unfortunately, even though it is primarily what I read. I have some small success with writing some explicit original fiction, but I don't tend to post that on my blog.

[vexed_wench]

That is a good thing to be able to do. I get not making it public people can be...weird. I am more of a setup and then fade to black.

I write erotica, among other things. There are many resources you could use. Some books are especially for authors on how to write erotic scenes in fiction, but don't overlook the nonfiction sex books. Stargate just begs to have the boys find an alien Kama Sutra, so it helps to know the original.

Kink books are very helpful for setting the scene and practical details.

General sex books are also useful:

And if you want to write polyamory, you need:
