Sex scenes shouldn't be in the main story. The NC17 stuff should be posted as a separate thing, like missing scenes and so.

They are too risky to have in the story. They can easily ruin the story as making it better. And everyone is not interesting to read about sex, so it’s better to have it as a separate thing and just refer to it in the story if it’s needed.

 

I'm with Zev and Gio on this one. If sex is not needed to advance a plot then there is no need for it to be there. Personaly I have not yet seen a story that has needed to include NC-17 rated sex, then again the majority of fics out there today are not even plot driven.

Posting sex on FF.net is even more of a risk. We all know that if your sex scene doen't involve shit-stabbing or pedopillia then it will be removed.

So all in all, include it if it's needed, if it's not allude to it.

 

Yep. If it's not needed, don't add it.

 

ROFL. Sad, but true.

 

....


that.... is not the point and you nkow it! >_<

 

yes, but you think about it, and don't try ro weasel your way outta this one!

 

I don't overly mind them as long as they're not crude as hell, while still realistic enough that they aren't using total clinical terms for everything.

And as said elsewhere, don't make a small, malnourished 15 year old have a horse sized schlong and be a porn star in bed.

 

At least yours don't have complete play-by-play and take up 1/3 of your chapters.

Thats the kind of thing I am against. NC-17 is not needed in almost any type of serious writing. I mean there is the odd story out there where it is part of the plot, but in most fanfics alluding to the act is preferable to describing (in graphic detail) the act.

 

I was actually looking for writing tips when i stumbled upon these:

Fanfic Tip 1

Fanfic Tip 2

I haven't read through everything yet but i think it's worth your time.

 

look decent but as im at work at the moment (bad me.. not even break time) i cant give them a good hard look over yet...

 

When writing a story don't do this;

Haaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

It is not needed and, quite frankly, gets on my tits (well it would if I had any).

 

And do remember that the characters you write about do have emotions. Be sure to at least include a few facial expressions or other indicators of mood, temper and atmosphere. A few words here and there describing these things does help to picture different scenes in a readers mind.

Also, if you have more than two people talking, try to differentiate between them when they are having a conversation. I’ve gotten headaches trying to decipher who is talking to who and what the hell does what they say have to do with anything. Add that to the fact that you can’t green what emotions are playing a role when someone is speaking. Well, it all sounds a lot like cardboard. Completely dull.

Then again, I'm not a very good writter myself, but these things do annoy me to hell and back when I stumble across them in a story.

Kudos for all the things posted here, I wish I had read some of them when I started writing.
