Alright, I know some of you ladies out there won't need this, but this popped up in my friends page on LJ and I thought it was a good little post for writers in general to read.
Heat, Desire and Leg Cramps: How To Write Smokin' Hot Smut
The woman posting writes in my other fandom, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I can tell you that her fic is SMOKIN'. With a capital HOT. I know that it's sometimes awkward, even as a seasoned writer, to write "romantic" scenes that aren't lame or overdone. I think Nauti is a great writer and her explanation is dead on, and is a great little read for those of you out there who may struggle with this or wish your scenes could be better.
Ok, continue on! Hehe.
Alright, here's chapter 23. Its kind of a long one by my standards, but hopefully it doesn't feel that way when you're reading it. Enjoy!
( You hold me without touch, and keep me without chains. I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love, and not feel your rain. )
Okay, this is like the third time LJ has puked on me as I try to post this... suffice to say, there is a poll at the end, I need ten votes in one direction or another to continue, and I'm sorry my life in the physical realm has gotten in the way of posting a bit. (Real life will do that to you, no?)
Enjoy, and don't forget to vote!
-- JMFG
**ETA: Polling is now closed. View the results below...new chapter to follow!
( Mirage -- Chapter 2 )
I'd like to just get up on my soapbox for all the people who write fanfic, and say that we do what we do because we're writers. We're not "stalking" anyone, what we do is not "ridiculous" or gross, it's FICTION. If you changed the names in these stories, you'd never know they were about John Mayer. So thank you to those of you who post here, and I hope that you continue to do so, and for those of you who think we're "ridiculous", get down off you high horse, get off MSM, and go have a REAL life. Kthnxbye.
NOW! ( Summer Hea[r]t - Chapter Four )
I can't really promise updates like this all the time, but I wrote ahead a little bit, so I have a little bit of material to post. :P
( My heart was always reeling. )
This idea inspired me so much. It seemed like something different, so I really hope you guys like this.
( It's my solitude I will embrace. )
I'm hoping to wind this down pretty soon so I can get back to posting Positive Change. I figured if I worked on one at a time, I'd be more likely to finish them both. Anyways, here is chapter 21. Enjoy...
( We're both looking for something we've been afraid to find. )
Ready for another one ladies?
( Summer Hea[r]t - Chapter Three )
I had a short, jittery burst of inspiration, and it brought forth this. Hope you guys enjoy.
( I am folded, and unfolded, and unfolding. )
current mood: sad
current song: the fray - trust me
For some reason, my heart went into this one. I know its probably not the chapter you guys were looking for, but this one just felt right somehow.
( We're only taking turns holding this world. )
