At least, I know I'm pretty good at writing--not necessarily stories though. =/. I love Crisium's Cullen/Amell stories. I just contacted her on tumblr and asked her if she was going to write another one before Dragon Age 3 comes out. After I read her fan fiction for the first time, I could not look at mine the same as I had before reading it.


I know what you mean. Everytime I've tried to write a fanfic I end up scrapping it because I can never conjure up the words I need to match the scene I can see playing out in my head.

I'm better at telling stories with images... but since I can't draw for sh!t I tell them through videos instead.

Just realized there's a woman in Purgatory wearing a-s-s-less pants.

Just curious, why are you trying to replace your sex scenes?

I've written so much sex I'm honestly sick of it lol I could write sex in my sleep... and most of what I've written has been gay sex... so I had to do research and um, hope I had gotten things right. Anyway... 

I like writing dialogue the most. You can convey so much more emotion and intimacy through dialogue than mere bumping and grinding I think. 

You shouldn't read other people's stuff and get discouraged... but it's hard not to think your own stuff is sub-par. I wish I could write DA stuff really well but most of my DA stuff so far has been kinda meh. I can't imagine embarking on anything more than oneshot. I kind of gave up on my looooong Mahariel DA:O fic.

I've never made it as far as the sexytimes parts in any fanfic I've tried to write, but even just trying to put that scene into words fails me. Which is odd, since I've got a mouth like a sewer and my mind constantly in the gutter. :lol:

I'm just crap at spinning a decent tale, I think.

I've had quite a few of those scenes. It doesn't bother me. It adds to what I'm trying to portray.

Whenever I write anything, I have to write it so that "I" can feel like I'm really there. I'm not too worried about the audience, because I know if I'm happy with the picture I'm painting with my words, others should be too.

I think I was too explicit and I feel embarrassed as well as ashamed for including it in the story.  I'm a very modest person.  I didn't mind reading the scene in Crisium's stories (I actually enjoyed them :devil:).  Perhaps I should've taken the approach that David Gaider had taken when he was writing the Stolen Throne and The Calling--have the chapter end when they kiss and then fall asleep.

I wonder if the sex scenes will be included in DA3? In DA:O they made me cringe a bit, but in DA2 it felt like a bit of a cop-out.

I think maybe if they concentrated more on the build up to the actual "deed" and then fade/swoop it out just as they're about to do the freak-nasty then it would work better. Perhaps take the same approach that ME1 and ME3 did with the fancy camera angles and lens flare to hide any **** 'n' balls slips.

Should we slow it down since the others aren't here? If we hit 1800 tonight then the page might get ruined with a bunch of non-celebration posts.

Oh hehe that's cute ^_^ I don't know why I'm not embarrassed. I would never share my stories with RL people... unless I took out the porny parts lol But I don't mind writing it. Sometimes it's like a challenge... but when you think about it, everyone has sex (well not everyone, but you know what I mean). Nothing really to be embarrassed about. Though again I am close-lipped about sex in RL. I am even reluctant to talk about past experiences online with strangers. But with characters in fiction it's their sex lives and not mine, so I can be as raunchy as I please lol

EDIT: I can stop posting for tonight if you wanna wait till tomorrow ^^

Well, we can always just mark spots and go back and edit it to include submissions. I wont be around tomorrow until later to post, so yea it doesn't seem like there's really going to be a good time that works for all of us.

I was just discussing with Twitter whether or not I should "help them along" with some ambient mood music. I'll perform the whale song myself.
