why do PWPs get kind of a bad rap? i'm guilty of it myself, i'll admit. i'm always saying, anytime i write a new one, that it seems to be the only thing i can write, in a self-disparaging/deprecating tone.

sure, i know i have worthy plot in me somewhere, and the moment it decides to manifest itself is one that i look forward to with great hope.

but for now, i'll write porn, and i'm not going to beat myself up about it. because -- and i'm not a braggadocious person AT ALL -- but i think i can write some pretty hot goddamned sex, and i should be proud of it.

i don't know why i said all that, and this post may very well disappear tomorrow. i'm tired, and i should probably go to bed.

after i serve up my kabobs in cafe' world first. :p

It's interesting how certain concepts come naturally in writing, while we seem to struggle over others. Writing porn has always been easy for me -- I usually think of that first, and then try to build a story around it.

I can think of plots fairly easily as well...it's writing them and making it all mesh together that give me trouble. :(

:preens:

Thank you, BB. I try my best to get the characterizations right. It drives me nuts when I read fanfiction and the writer has completely changed the core character just to make them fit into whatever story they're telling (i.e. Draco suddenly being a nice guy and realizing that Harry is his TWOO LUV. UGH, DO NOT WANT.). I read it thinking things like, "This is not what Draco would say AT ALL," or "Gah, why have you made Ron such a sucky baby about everything?"

but (luckily for us) you also have dirty, horny plot bunnies!

I do. Those little buggers work overtime, I swear. As you know, I managed to talk myself into some R/D alley!sex, so I think I'm going to have to write a smutty drabble about it. :p
