Sex scenes?

[cinaed]

*cough* So I'm about to start writing the fic for the Radek ficathon (yes, I'm well aware that it's due the 23rd, it'll be done by then I swear), and, uh, there will be sex involved.

Too bad the closest thing to sex I've written were the fics for the Porn challenge thingie. *facepalm*

Does anyone have some good links to sex-scene manuals or discussions on sex scenes? lilyayl's linked me a few good ones, but I prefer lots of material to work with when I get to the sex scenes and start whimpering and bitching to anyone who'll listen.

*steels self and goes to actually start working on the fic*

...there's a Radek fic-athon and you haven't provided a link so I can read the fic on this thing of wonder?

*cries* Don't you looove me anymore?

*grovels* Here's the fic-athon community: fic4radek. Everything gets posted on the 23rd. :)

*whistles innocently* ...And if you really want Zelenka fic right now and don't want to wait until the 23rd, check out welovezelenka. *grin*

*hooks you up with linkage like a porn dealer*

I talked about writing sex scenes recently while doing a Fic DVD commentary. Here's the general bit with thoughts on writing porn/erotica: http://kat-lair.livejournal.com/49705.html#cutid1 The following fic DVD commentary may not interest you that much as it is Life on Mars fandom, but do check out the comments, my f-list has interesting things to say :)

There was also a huge discussion recently on the topic over at thefourthvine's journal, linked through my post.

Here's an excellent essay by cupidsbow on constructing a sex scene: http://cupidsbow.livejournal.com/194295.html Well worth the read and highly useful.

Hope this helps. Can't wait for the fic!

Thank you! ...Just need to prepare for my 20-minute presentation on Margery Kempe for the 19th first before the fic. *shifty eyes* But then fic! ...And sex scenes. *twitch*

But thank you so much for the links. :)

Why did I not know about this ficathon? I am going to try to write something in this fandom, but man. Inspiration is not my friend right now.

Er, well I've had my fic-athon prompt since...January or so? Well, maybe it was February. But yeah, the stories will be put up on fic4radek on the 23rd. :)

Heh, inspiration isn't my friend either. Well, I take that back. Inspiration is my overly enthusiastic friend. Finishing an actual fic is not my friend. ;)

I don't really use it, but there's a comm called writing_sex that has discussions and links and whatall.

Thanks. :) I'll have to check that out.
