WRITING KINK NOT FOR YOU

[slytherincesss.livejournal.com]

Hey guys . . .

I'm wondering if, for fests, you've ever written some extreme kinks for someone else, that you wouldn't write otherwise? One of my fest recipients has requested an extreme kink and I'm thinking about actually writing it. Personally, I can't imagine writing this kink without having nipped down several bottles of wine first *wink* . . . how do you all write kinks that are way outside your normal comfort level? I've been researching the kink in question and . . . yeah. Lots of wine. >:0

Help?

ETA: If anyone feels like chatting, I'm in the HD Writers chatroom, working on some writing. Would love some company!

I think (thought I haven't done it) that lots of wine would be exactly how I got through that. Then again, I squirmed so hard through my first actual sex scene (and not in the good squirmy way) that I thought I might just throw my computer and cry. And now, well, that's considerably less of a problem. But it took wine. Copious amounts of it, and maybe some gin. Which is probably not altogether a helpful answer to your question, but that's pretty much actually my answer to how I get through anything outside my comfort level.

Oddly, it's served me well so far... :) Good luck!

I guess I know what I"ll be doing tomorrow... stopping by the liquor store for some wine :))

Heh, the first time I wrote CBT was for a fest where my recipient wanted them. Never written either before and wasn't particularly interested in either, until I started writing them. I had to research CBT and wound up fascinated by it, now it's one of my favourite kinks to see. If nothing else, trying to write a new kink can be fun, and if all else fails, just don't include it if it still isn't working for you. But hey, could surprise yourself once you get it going!!

What is CBT?!

I'm hoping it'll go okay, writing an extreme kink!

Cock and Ball Torture, and was where my first experience writing an "OMG, really?" kink came from as well.

I tried to get into the mindset of someone who'd enjoy it, and I think I was a little more mild in my depiction of the kink than someone who really enjoyed it. I'm not like Steph, I've never sought it out again, but it was an interesting challenge to take on.

CBT = amazing *grins* (Big scene in DD is going to be very big)

[slytherincesss.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this kink came with the prompt. And I know I don't *have* to write it, but I'm thinking it would be a very interesting challenge. I'm pretty vanilla, truth told.

What kneazle said. :D If it helps, that same fic also made me write animagus!beastiality for the first time, so... extreme kinks are fun!! Lol.

You know that Two Buck Chuck I just mentioned in chat? I'm going to need A LOT of it :))

This kink is even more extreme!

[deirdre-aithne.livejournal.com]

See, you can't say things like that around someone like me and expect me not to beg to know what it isssss! :D

Two Buck Chuck is a $2 bottle of wine from Trader Joe's :D It's actually not half bad as far as wine goes. It's not hideous like Mad Dog or something. You can actually take it to parties or give it as a gift without feeling embarrassed :))

As long as the kink doesn't actually sqick you when you're doing the research (even just the names of some of them warn me off) then you should be able to distance yourself enough to write it convincingly - and writing any subject that's new can lead to some original fic - you won't already have all the cliches cluttering up your mind.

Which, if you pull it off, will probably please your recipient - and others who like that kink and want a different take on it.

Yes, the recipient said if this kink was included, she would be ecstatic, so I want to try. My research hasn't totally grossed me out or anything. It's different, but it's not the worst thing I've ever seen.

I find it helps to try and think about why someone might enjoy the kink, even if it's not really your thing. Certainly that's what does it for me. Not so much that Character A enjoys Kink 1, but what Character A gets out of it. And maybe what Character B gets out of helping Character B. What is it about the kink that turns the character/s on?

Kinda curious as to the kink, now.

That's a really good idea -- I'll try that headspace and see if it helps.

I'd definitely tell, but it's for a anon fest and I don't want to give it away :D
