Hello all! I never do this – I typically avoid the “getting to know you board” on different sites like the plague, but I’m just getting my feet wet here on Roleplayerguild.com and, as the site continues to grow on me, I thought I’d embrace the “social aspect” of the site.
I write erotic fiction and, for fun, I love to write erotic fiction with a partner. I usually say to people, “note that I did not say that I like to write sex” – and that’s true. In erotic fiction, sex is incidental. It really is. Very often it’s not the hottest part of the piece. Writers who restrict themselves to a description of the act itself end up with just that – a lukewarm, clinical description of a sex act. Blech. What makes sex sexy is the context. It’s the sensations that you experience, it’s the relationship (or lack of a relationship) that you have with your partner, it’s the setting and the feelings that setting evokes in you. For instance, I might write about a man and a woman, in a bed in a bedroom, and describe what they physically do to each other. *yawn* Or… I might write about my heroine, on her knees in a filthy nightclub men’s room, servicing the revelers as they stagger in to relieve themselves. What makes it erotic is not so much what she does… but what she feels, what she senses, while she’s doing it. One of my writing partners refers to this as “the dance”.
Anyhow… I didn’t mean to go off on a tangent there, but I did want to say “hi” to everyone and to give you guys a glimpse into what your newbie neighbor is all about. Write on, everyone! LOL.
