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

I admire people who can write PWP, seriously. Because I can't write one to save my life lol I just run out of words!

I think the bad rap is from people who want a long read and plot (makes you wonder why they're even looking at PWPs in the first place when the warnings are pretty clear at the very start). For me, reading PWPs is relaxing, a breath of fresh air from the others since the fics I tend to read are ones I can have a long sit down to.
