Anybody who's taken a walk on the dark side writing NC17 fanfic, can you give advice on how I can get "my" couple to couple? I've done about everything else with them solo that I can, but having real trouble taking them all the way.

It's for "The Measure of a Jayne," Part 5 (conclusion.) This ain't writer's block, it's writer's...inexperience? Please help if you can so I can get this thing put to bed. (lol.) Thanks.

When a man and a woman love each other, a baby is made.

Wish I could help more but that's all I know.

ummmm... I don't know what the rules are on this sort of thing, but there's actually a fairly good webpage for writing...erotic fiction. Go to http://english.literotica.com/stories/stories_by_category.php?category
=8&page=3 WARNING: This website is, if you haven't guessed it from the name, erotic fiction. You must be 18 to enter, etc.
This page is the How-To section of a great forum for erotic fiction. It has a LOT of great suggestions for writing realistic erotic scenes and encounters. The whole goal of this section of the page is to help writers write better sex scenes.
On a side note, we need more people to submit their NC17 fan-fic to Literotica.com's Celebrities category. We have ONE story! Just one more outlet to find more converts to the Cause.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I figured I'd get a fair amount of goofy responses and the first one was pretty good, as a matter of fact.

Frycook: Thank you for the info. Will go there for sure.

If I'm not too scared, will also post my story there, thanks for the tip. Fry? Since you seem familiar with that site, read my story for me and feedback below it as to whether it's worthy of posting in the literotica Celebrities category. Ciao for now.

Okay. I got it done, partly thanks to the advice. If you like your Jaylee NC17, go to The Measure of a Jayne, Part 5 (Conclusion) and let me know how I did by leaving feedback at the bottom. Thanks again for the help!

Heck, just rough draft it! Get your ideas out first and then give them structure. Get as much down as you can and then start editting cut things here, embellish there. You have the deed, and the characters. include lots of modifiers, particularly adverbs. If in doubt remember to answer all the basic questions: who, what, why, when, where, and how. There is a lot of stuff in your head make sure that you get as much of it on paper as you can. There's nothing worse than a writer who assumes that the reader can read his / her mind. You may think you are taking too long and dragging things out, this isn't always the case, the devil is often in the details. A police officer can write a three page report about a car acccident that occured in less than twenty seconds. It take a lot of words to describe something as complicated a sex. You don't have to take it chronologically. With a rough draft you can start with the cigarette and fill in the blanks up to that point. Remember the more foreplay the better and don't be afraid to go inside the characters heads. Be a sensuous writer by describing how things smell, taste, feel, sound, and look. Your characters are human so describe them as such, add a scar here, a quirk there. Don't make everthing too smooth and perfect, sex almost never is, that why everyone keeps practicing.

Scorp, you know what you're talking about, I can tell. Thanks for the shiny advice, Dude. It makes good sense and can only lead to great sex on paper (and in real life too, lol.)

Well any good author needs to research their work and just like guitar, ballet and karate it's all practice, practice, practice.

Hey Frycook? I registered as an author on Literotica.com, went to the Celebrities page and posted just the juiciest parts of The Measure of a Jayne, ( http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=5693 , starting where Kaylee peeks down into Jayne's lair) but I don't think the site is gonna accept it. They have an editor who approves stuff before it goes live, and the small print on the page said submitted fic might not fly if links to other sites are offered.

And I DID offer a link to fff.net so as to keep us flying, as you recommended. We'll see. Sigh. Editors can be so capricious.

Thanks again for the link. The "how to" on writing kink was a big help to me. Know what else? One of their highest emphasized points turned out to be exactly what I was already doing: using 5 senses to describe the action. I felt so proud!

Well, if you have to take off the link, take off the link. That's life, and I can see why they don't want outside links on their site. Didn't know that, though, and it's a good note to all who might (SHOULD) submit their writings in the future. Once you're a posted author, there might be some sort of profile you can add information to, and they might let you put links there. I would check for you but I'm on the family computer right now, and that could be akward.

No, mom, I swear, I was researching for a Firefly friend!

You can't stop the signal.

LOFreakin'L. Nah, no need to check for me. I'll do it myself.

P.S. I didn't actually post the link to fff.net, I just typed, "If you want to read more, e-mail me and I'll get you the addy." That's what they might see as of the linkageness. Who knows though. If it DOES get posted, I'll mention it here so you'll know there's success.

Hey big up to you! your story is fab! I was innocently browsing the celebs section on literotica.com and bumped into it. As a big firefly fan i obviously couldn't resist! So glad you got Jayne and Kayleigh to couple in the end. ahhh... lol

Incidently your story inspired me to google firefly + erotic story in search for more and i found your posts here so thought i'd thank you personally

Nice one 10 out of 10 and thanks again
P.S. hope to read more of your adventures with the cast of firefly - if you can get Mal in to bed in some way i would be eternally grateful!
xx

NO way! I am so honored that you found me on two sites! Especially since I'm a new and tender writer of anything at all besides business letters and letters to Mom. Too cool!

Glad you liked it, and hope you find lots of great fics here. It's a gorram mother-lode, to be sure. Please see ManwithPez's fic "Somnambulist" under the horror section on this site. It's scary but way good in a Hitchcockian way. And look for anything by Jacqui. When you find Jacqui's stuff, leave her a note asking her where the best Mal fic is. She knows everything and might hook you up with some titles.

I love Mal too and would love to get him in bed with somebody soon. Keep flying like a leaf in the wind. A pleasure to meet you. I love fans! They make my night bright as day!

Frycook! Literotica posted it and I got a new fan to come here because of it! See what you made me do? Squuuueeeee! See AppleCrumble's comment on this thread.

Life is so gorram shiny.

P.S. AppleCrumble: I loved your "innocently browsing" on Literotica. That's exactly how I do it too when I go there! LOFrellingL.

Now think about all the people who are reading the story who DIDN'T post on the forum. Spread the word: get more smut out there!

You can't stop the (smutty) signal.
