Nervous... · 12:46pm Sep 26th, 2016
I have finished the rough draft of Artex and Razor's first night. I sent it off to my editor at around 1:00 am here. I have to be honest, I am nervous as HELL about this. My usual writing style focuses more on emotional perception more than anything sexual. I am seriously freaked out about writing my first 'sex scene'. The difficult part is balancing the romantic aspects of the act as well as the Acceptance parts AND still have it actually BE sexy. My concern is that in trying to incorporate all three into a scene, I will achieve none of them in the final product. I do not make it a point to read 'clop stories' in general though I do occasionally read ones like Xenophilia because it incorporates much more than just mindless sex. I am nowhere nearly as skilled as that author though, my hope is to bring a scene that is tender and accurate to the portrayed universe, but at the same time have just enough realism to be believable (given the subject matter anyway). Wish me luck. I'll be posting the wedding chapter at some point this week.
You'll do fine.
I'm just hoping Artex makes it through this without any broken bones.
Especially that bone.
Well, you are capable of delivering emotions, are you not? You're not a child, so you should know how to write stuff like that without making a fool out of yourself.
4227868 Easy for you to say, Christian. You're already a highly skilled writer of the squishy stuff. I'm going to be trying my hand at it... that sounds so wrong... anyway, I'm just hoping that the readers like it.
4227854 *squirms* Yeah, like what happened to Starburst... Catalyst broke his baby-making bone.

People might read my stories for all the wrong reasons. 
I write such scenes as part of the story and not for the sake of sex itself. When I do, I do that for a reason and not just for placing a male and a female into a room to screw each others brain out. Amateurs do that.
Don't advertise me like that.
I had a few years of Anime watching history. No one mixes sex better into the story like the Japanese. If you can make a half decent story like that of Urotsukidoji work, filled to the brim with tentacle sex and even more symbolism behind the sex (sex transforms the body, just think of puberty) you either have something ingenious or something so engrossing people will simply watch it to see this surreal thing unfold.
Bottom line: You're not stupid. You're utilizing such a scene for the story, you don't place these characters into a bedroom to have brainless sex like cavemen.
4228098 Thanks, Christian. I appreciate the pep-talk. Don't be down on yourself though. You really are very good. Will you be reading the First Night chapter when it goes up? As somebody who has some experience with this kind of thing, I would value your input.

My Trailverse isn't pure clop despite having some spicy stuff in it. What I mean is: I prefer people staying for the story.
I'm not downing myself, gravity does.
As for your new chapter... Heck, I could take a look before you publish it. If I have to read up 39 chapters before I get to your new chapter, expect to wait a week.
Just pm me to a google docs document or something.
4228318 Psh, DUH! I KNOW your story is much, MUCH more than clop! I thought you were caught up though. It would be unfair of me to expect you to read everything I have in story 3 just to edit one chapter. I'm not that selfish. I appreciate the offer though.
Sent what I hope will be the final draft to my editor today. Might have the new chapter up by tomorrow.
