2 quick questions
Oct. 15th, 2011 01:19 pmnaturegirlrocks.livejournal.comAfter reading and writing slash for little over two years now (yes, I guess I'm still a little of a n00b) there are two things that has caught my curiosity. I don't know if it concerns H/D writing directly, but it I think it would really help me to understand the theme a little more.
One: Do you think there are more bisexual men who are 'tops" than 'bottoms'?
- I think that there are more tops because there is less threat to 'their manhood' (Y/N)
(I have a bunny about of exploring this question in a fic, so any help would be nice.)
Two: Why are there so many lesbian slash (man on man) writers?
- I am more attracted by men than by women (about 80/20) so I can't really relate. I have asked lesbian writers this question before and they told me that 'it's just hot'. Maybe I'm just a little ignorant but why does women who don't find men desirable as sex partners write so darn good slash?
Or is it just because it is H/D and that it is meant to be<3?

WRITING KINK NOT FOR YOU
Sep. 1st, 2011 08:27 pmslytherincesss.livejournal.comHey 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!

Embarrassing question...
Apr. 12th, 2011 06:57 pmnaturegirlrocks.livejournal.com So... I'm in the middle of writing my very first really seriously porny thing. (Yes, the former ones are child's play compared to this I tell you!) But of course I'm stuck on the spelling on a word and can't continue.

ratings - what's an R vs. an NC-17?

khaluluHi all - just curious, since I'm new to submitting and posting fics, and many places ask for a rating - is there any consensus on approximately where the line is between R and NC-17 in a slash fic that has sex but isn't PWP?
