Hello there! Just a queer writer and artist, writing queer romance and drawing.

There is a chance spice will show up, so be warned.

If you'd like to see some of my not-romance writing, consider following my other account @vampireantihero.com
#SmutCember Oh god. Abyss and Ebony are entirely in tune during intimate situations, but they're very bad at communicating outside of that. They get better throughout their relationship, but it's generally not well.

One of the pillars of Corbin's identity is being a good communicator, so he and 1/2
Hope you're having a restful Friday, #Smutcember! Today's question:

How well do your characters communicate? This could be verbally or non-verbally, and it could be outside of, before, after, or during intimate encounters.

#Smutcember Some characters are planned, some are not. Since a lot of my characters are vampires, for example, their partners tend to have a vampire kink - biting, neck kisses, etc.

For the most part they come up organically, though.
Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, #Smutcember! I'm partial to the Yule vibes myself, but any excuse for a little holiday spice. 😏 With that in mind, we ask you:

Do you plan your characters with specific kinks, or do they arise organically?

#SmutCember my best advice is to keep it natural. Sex can have anxiety, it can have humor. It can also very quickly hit the realm of unbelievable if you try to write it too technically or distance the reader.

Lean into poetry and metaphor, let the characters' yearning and need do the talking.
Time to share some wisdom, #Smutcember:

What advice would you give others about writing smut? Alternatively, if you're newer to writing smut, what advice would you like to get from your fellow participants?

#SmutCember My two best friends and my husband. It's generally been positive, they're all super encouraging. My husband encouraged me to start writing it more, lol.

I have a few stories I'm sitting on, I keep going back and forth on publishing them under this pseudonym or under my main author name.
Considering that many of you may be spending time with loved ones this month, #Smutcember:

Who among your friends and family has read your smut? Has it been a positive experience sharing it with them?

#SmutCember Ooh... I'd probably write something for Esmeralda in The Night Garden series. She runs an alternative and kink lifestyle club. There's a few Witches in the series she's close enough to to sleep with, but it'd probably be with Austin for a short, fun hurt/comfort.
Here's a fun exercise to start your week, #Smutcember:

If you were to write a sexy AU for any of your characters, what’s the setup, and who’s hooking up? If you HAVE written (or drawn!) such an AU already, feel free to share it!

Yes, actually. Corbin is one of Acanthus' fledglings, and in their backstory they were together as lovers when Corbin was still a human. After a series of circumstances, Corbin leaves, but he has really complicated feelings about it. Sometimes he wants to rewind time.

Not usually, no. I think there's only one instance where I've been blindsided by the characters getting together, and it wasn't in one of my smut stories lol.
Happy Friday, #Smutcember!

Have you ever been surprised by which of your characters hook up? Has a planned romance ever been derailed by chemistry that developed while drafting?

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#SmutCember Touch! There's so much you can do with a character relying on touch. Shy characters closing their eyes, someone hyper-aware of someone's hands...

This is especially fun with Abyss and Ebony, because Ebony tends to be blindfolded at first (Abyss has extreme self esteem issues).

Time to get sensual, #Smutcember:

What is your favorite sense to rely on when describing sexy scenes? How do you like to engage with multiple senses throughout?

Ebony and Abyss are strange because they started with an agreement. Just sex, no strings attached, but Ebony caught strong feelings. So, sex wasn't the changing point for them. Abyss marks their turning point as when she started to come around for more than feeding.

Corbin is (1/2)
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?

It depends on whether or not the story is in multiple POVs, I suppose. I mostly stick to one POV for that.
Today's #Smutcember prompt:

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

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#SmutCember 15

Mostly it hinges on these questions -

how established is the relationship? How comfortable are the characters together? What reservations do each involved have? Is romance the focus of this story?
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?

I realize I've only really answered about Ebony and Abyss, even though I mentioned Marcel and Corbin early on. Woops! (I don't have much of their story fleshed out, which may be why.) So, let's start with Ebony and Abyss.

Abyss finds Ebony attractive because she is endlessly- 1/7

#SmutCember This is from Ebony and Abyss' story, still untitled. Teeechnically it fits; feeding sources for vampires are strictly monitored by wolves in this universe, and Ebony isn't a registered donor. Also, donors aren't supposed to sleep with the vampire taking from them.

Jessica was the last of the Wild Ones; she had more soul in her pinky finger than most did in their proudest moments.

Friends!! I checked my calendar and somehow it's Friday again!!
Anyone wanna do some more #notrealopeners? 🫣

I'll go first:

"Linda couldn't decide if she wanted ghosts to be real or not as she stared at the spreading bloodstain on her carpet."

Who wants to share one??

#SmutCember 12

I think both are great! I think I actually prefer scenes for a new relationship (after a slow burn of course, so I guess they're emotionally well-established in that regard lol). New relationships tend to have a shy, awkward, more exploratory tone that is fun to write.
Happy Friday, #Smutcember folks!

Do you prefer to write sex scenes for a new relationship, or in an established one? What appeals to you the most about your preference?

I love the "grumpy/shunshine" pairing. Also pairings that feel forbidden but work together anyway -- vampire/werewolf, vampire/human, two people from warring sides coming together, etc. Naming both of these because they can stack together :)
#Smutcember prompt for today:

Share your favorite self-indulgent pairing or dynamic! Grumpy/sunshine? Battle couple? Something more niche and specific? If you like, tell us about how you've employed it in your work!

Yes, I do struggle to share my smutty writing. Most of what I've written in this vein, I've shared with a few trusted writer friends and that's it. I worry it's too analytical, not something people want to read, etc.

Also, this might be my insecurity talking, but I don't want - 1/2
#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?

Not to sound unoriginal or anything, but I think it's the buildup for me, too. Since I tend to write slow burns, there's all that delicious yearning reaching a breaking point, and then the freedom of finally acting on feelings that have been simmering for ages.

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

I think buildup and aftercare are both just as fun for me to write.

The buildup is fun especially when you lean into the yearning. Think 1992 Dracula level pining. "I have crossed oceans of time to find you." That's my jam!

Aftercare because it's a fragile moment that can - (1/2)

I was headachey most of the day yesterday, but I managed to tap a few paragraphs into my sapphic vampire story. I'll call that a win.

Slow burn, all the way. A slow burn allows the feelings to smolder, really build to a place of yearning before something finally happens.
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?

Ebony loves Abyss' eyes. They're icy blue with violet undertones. A

byss loves Ebony's lips and her hair - she has black hair, with a totally natural white streak as a result of being piebald. Half of her left eyebrow is also white.

Corbin finds most things about his partners- (1/2)
