I’ve really been thinking long and hard about the extent of explicit sex my latest story has. I know that it’s what we’re known for but sometimes I wonder if it’s too much for people?

Well, I know there are people who really don't enjoy reading explicit sex.  So I try to label 'explicit' versus just 'sexual content' when I'm tagging things.  And hope they finds stuff they like and avoid the stuff they don't.

I find the desire for explicit content depends a lot, for me, on the pacing of the piece, or the character POV I'm in.  Aveline does not appreciate being written about very explicitly, ime, while Isabela and Joker much prefer that to something less overt.  That said, sometimes it can go either way and then I don't know quite what I think I'm doing. :D

Is this the Sebastian/Fenris/Isabela fic? I’d be quite interested in the sex, not from a smutty perspective (okay, not *just* from a smutty perspective), but because I’d be interested to see how it works with those three particular characters.

It is.  And I am too, I'm just having style problems?  Usually the tone or the pacing of the story makes it pretty clear to me how explicit to make the sex, but this time I'm not picking up on my own subconscious' clues, or something.

Go wild, do a fade to black! ;)

*snerk* I love you.  I think I need a bit more than a fade to black, just for characterization's sake?  Maybe?

Well, we all ask for more smut, because you do it so very well… But I know what you mean. Maybe compromise and go for not quite so explicit?

Well.  Between you, the three of you voted for everything.  *laughs*

But yeah, that might be where I'm heading? IDEK. This is not a normal problem for me, I'm confusing myself. *snorts*
