Got a few ideas that are a mix of everything. A little bit of fantasy, thriller, and present-day stories that are slow burns, fast banter, and guys who fall hard (for each other) 😏

WIP: A serial killer love story
Pinned
"Stop. That's enough. He's dead. Calm down," He whispered. His hold tightened around his love and the bloody pipe he held. "Don't go down this path. You don't deserve to go down this dark path like me..."

Eric&Justin: they were good friends before sex. After sex, I say they grew even closer. They became more intimate & closer, being able to understand each other. They really deepened their connection. Also made them both more protective over the other

#smutcember
Onward through the mid-month, mid-week slump, #Smutcember:

How do your characters view their relationships changing before and after sex? What factors are influencing this change? Is there one big change, or many smaller incremental ones over time?

I stick with one POV. Flipping it around is too much. Might have one spicy scene in one POV and then chapters later for the next spicy scene, might be in the others POV. But during them, just the one

#smutcember #writesky #writingcommunity
Today's #Smutcember prompt:

How do you handle perspectives in sexy scenes? Do you focus on one POV at a time or switch around?

Depends on the characters is how far I'll go

Eric & Justin: I have open door scenes for them but its soft, vanilla, & I focus more on the connection they build together cause that is how I see their relationship.

William & Sawyer:extra spicy cause that's their relationship. A hot mess

#smutcember
Today's #Smutcember prompt:

How do you decide how “far” to take a scene in a written work? Do you have varying levels based on certain factors?

Justin: Eric's sense of humor&how protective he is

Eric: Justin's kindness&ability to see the beauty of things

Emersyn: August's sense of justice&how he isn't afraid of him

August: Emersyn's kindness, strength, & even though he's extremely powerful, Emersyn choses to keep the peace

#smutcember
I said we'd get to it, and here we are, #Smutcember:

It's Saturday night so let's do a fun one!

Not sure if this counts, but thought I could share it. A knight & his king sparing. The knight starting to have some dangerous feelings sparking

Later on August thinks more of how close they were in a more sexual/romantic way & scolds himself in thinking that way towards his king lol

The 1st time a couple are intimate is always fun.Its thrilling. All new & exciting which is always fun to right. For the adrenaline

But!

With an established couple, They know what the other likes. Its much more meaningful & better connection. Thats fun for the bond & able to experiment

#Smutember
Happy Friday, #Smutcember folks!

A little.Im new to writing, so im still learning the ropes. Plus, smutty scenes is an art & needs a good balance of steam, love/passion, & balance of everything. Don't want to make it too fast or too long or too corny or just too weird. Want the art to be good

#smutcember #wriesky #writingcommunity
#Smutcember for Hump Day asks:

Do you struggle with sharing your smutty writing? If so, what internal or external obstacles have been the most challenging? If not, what advice would you give someone who's struggling but wants to share their work?

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
December 10, 2025 at 5:05 PM
All three are super important. I love writing the build up though. The tension & excitement are so fun to write. Love the banter or sweet moments

For some of my 'not so vanilla' MCs, its fun writing the act itself

For my vanilla characters, like Justin & Eric, I love their aftercare

#Smutcember
Our #Smutcember prompt for today asks:

When writing sex in your stories, do you prefer to write the build up, the act itself, the aftercare, or all of the above?

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
December 10, 2025 at 4:48 PM
I perfer slow burns but sometimes fast feelings when the sexual tensions are so high are fun too.

Not a huge fan of first chapter fuck though. Thats a little too fast. Got to build that tension first

#smutcember #writesky #writingcommunity
Merry Monday, #Smutcember!

In your stories, do you prefer a slow burn or fast feelings? What appeals to you the most about writing your preferred pacing?

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
December 10, 2025 at 4:40 PM
Not really.There is faith in the worlds, but my MCs don't follow any except "William".Im using air quotes for him cause he's a twisted religious guy

William is a preacher in training in my wild west WIP.Spreading the gospel, but dude is gay, kinky/horny as hell, &part of a gang

#AwesomeCharacters
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Emersyn-August's large/strong stature & his ass
August-secretly loves Emersyn's horns, eyes, & fangs from his partial dragon form

Sawyer-William's 'pretty' boy facial features

#Smutcember
To wrap our first week of #Smutcember, tell us:

Haven't wrote it out yet but basically Eric & Justin were playing videos games at Justin's. They got too competitive & end up wrestling each other to distract the other. They got too close & their feelings that both of them been bottling up came to the surface & they end up kissing

#Smutcember
Welcome to the weekend, #Smutcember, and with it, our first snip share!

Share with us a first kiss!

Remember to use alt text if you share your snip as an image and tag appropriately if the snip gets a lot spicier than just a kiss. 👀

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Mostly to build a friendship/partnership. Having that playful banter is great too.

Eric&Justin build a friendship by studying&playing videogames together

August&Emersyn build a partnership as a royalxknight

William&Sawyer build a partnership over a common goal with trauma & alcohol

#Smutcember
#Smutcember, it's time to talk about our work! To start off:

How do you build chemistry between your characters? You can speak in general terms or give specific examples, whichever you prefer.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
December 7, 2025 at 6:23 PM
Justin currently lives at home with his mother & sister. He enjoys living there (saving money). Does wish he could have his own space sometimes

Eric currently lives with a roomate in the dorms. Granted, he doesn't really interact with his dorm mate much. Would move if he could

#AwesomeCharacters
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

What is your character's living situation like?

Do they have roommates? Pets? Live with family? Alone in a mansion? On the road? On a ship? Other?

Are they happy where they are, or striving for something else?

I do enjoy reading romance. Read quite a bit. Mostly I read sci-fi or a bit of fantasy.

Now that I've been starting to write, I've been getting into reading a whole lot more romance to get ideas of how to write it properly. To not make it too cheesy and how to write good spicy scenes

#Smutember
Last establishing question, #Smutcember:

Do you read different kinds of smut than you write, or is that Venn diagram a circle?

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
December 4, 2025 at 9:41 PM
I guess writing it. I just enjoy seeing the characters finally get together, either from my own works or others. It's also fun to write it and see what masterpiece or just some spicy fun shit the characters create

#Smutcember
Continuing our #Smutcember setup:

Do you have a preference between reading smut or writing it, or perhaps engaging with it in a different form of media entirely? If so, what about that form of engagement appeals to you the most?

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
December 4, 2025 at 12:59 AM
I've mentioned how Justin&Eric met, but let's talk about someone else who's dear to Eric. His brother. Eric was adopted by a sweet family when he was 8 that had a little boy the same age. Eric was a little timid at first, but quickly warm up to his brother, being glued by the hip

#AwesomeCharacters
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Tell me a bit about the first time your character met someone important to them.

This could be a close friend, love interest, mentor, etc.

Did they like each other right away? Did they warm over time?

I'm pretty comfortable with spice. There're a few things that I won't get into, just not my thing. Perfer to have plot mixed in with the spice

For writing spice, I'm pretty open. some pairs are more spicy than others. I only feel comfortable to what I feel like its comfortable for them

#Smutember
As we continue into #Smutcember, it's important to know:

What is your spice comfort level? Does it vary between what you enjoy privately and what you're willing to share? Do you have hard boundaries for what you engage with?

Hello, I'm Daniel

I'm a MLM romance writer. Have a western, modern day, & some fantasy ideas

Probably will talk about Eric&Justin, August&Emersyn, or William&Sawyer. Depending how smutty we get 😏

Eric&Justin are pretty vanilla but thought I'll bring them in. Need some fluff in life

#Smutcember
