okay I need to leave, but I've been poking at wips, and after a month in the trenches trying to find romance authors I like, it's crazy to return back to fanfic and just be like oh. shit. this is good. why can't I find stuff like this published??

#but just. yeah. how fanfic writers just GET intimacy #and sex without it being purely physical #my ongoing theory is the prevelance of ace writers in fandom know how to write smut in a way that is sexy #without relying on basic descriptions of bodily parts and movements (pls no more shaft pistoning)#me i'm the ace writer #but also. a significant proportion of my favourite authors are ace okay #it's a beautiful phenomenon #but in general #smut in fandom communities >>>>>>> published smut #fanfic writers beloved #but really it's just about practicing the craft and sharing with people #practice is all it takes #and diversity of perspectives too #(plus like. actual diversity. which is also missing in published romance)
