One by one, the problems build up and stand in our way

FICSEX: What you should take into consideration before writing a steamy R or NC-17 fic.

You know why I call atlantian_magic The Steam Queen? Because her stuff is amazingly accurate for lime fics. I mean, the male response, the kinds of things they say and think-- she's got it down. I'm not sure how she's got it down, and it's none of my business, but I will say that experience in a given field makes it easier to include such things in a fanfiction. Maybe that's why I've been tampering with the idea of a lemon scene in the later stages of some of my fics-- MMorg only, of course. *shrugs* And people seem to want good, funny hentai. Animes like that exist (Cool Devices with a twist, maybe?) but you rarely see anyone take on the "first time, first try" affair between a guy and a girl (it really only works with het pairings) and have them have more to laugh about than MOAN about.

I can come up with a bunch of lines already! *snickers* Guys are funny, you know?

Choose-Your-Own-Adventures are ILLEGAL on FFnet, and with the multitude of them springing up on FFnet, I really want to report them. I should, but I'm not a snitch! I'm a concerned author! >_> Yeah, I sound like those overly concerned mothers that think big eyes and nudity in anime is bad. We all want THEM to shut up. I don't want to be the Author Who Thought Wrong.

But still, authors that say "You choose the ending" (esp. where pairings are concerned) truly bother me. It shows a lack of creativity, not to mention care and thought for your story. Whenever I plan a story, I always come up with at least TWO major components:
* The beginning (i.e. "What if...")
* The end (i.e "This is what would happen [in the long run] if...")

For "Prophecy Girl" I came up with--
"What if Tea took Isis's place in Battle City?"
and "If Tea took Isis's place, she'd have to duel Kaiba. The end result of their dueling and everything would be him seeing a new side to her, and vice versa."

Okay, so it's not a spoiler-iffic "ending" but you get what I mean. CYOA fics are/show that the author is:
* Lazy
* Indecisive
* In need of an editor/beta to bounce ideas off of
* In need of more time, to flesh ideas out
* A newbie to the fic universe
* Unaware of how real CYOAs work
* An insult to all of us authors who take our time to thoughtfully come UP with plots and decide important things like pairings IN ADVANCE!

I am ecstatic for the presence of ygo_badfic. I have a lot of nominating to do! BWAHA.

Hey, for those curious why I support paticular pairings, here's why:
