xparrotI am just not cut out to be a slash writer. I can't write smut! I want to write smut. But the chars, they want to talk. For 8 pages! The hell, Lex? You want Clark. He wants you. What is the problem here? Just get down on your knees, boy. Geeze. It's not that difficult.
For some reason I can only write smut very late at night. Four in the morning when I'm supposed to be asleep, then I'll have all manner of sexy bodies in my head, writhing together under the sheets/against the wall/over the desk/in the mud/what-have-you. The rest of the time, might as well be a lost cause. Talking, though. I can write endless discussion anytime. I ought to stick to gen. But I like slash, too, darn it! If only it weren't haaaard...(and not in the good way.)
I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I am quite possibly the worst slash fan ever, in that half the time I don't even read the smut; I skim the sex to get to the juicy bits, which for me is the...talking. And angst. And cuteness. And basically all the relationshipping that happens in between. This is probably why I can be both a slash and a gen fan without much mental dissonance. Though it doesn't explain why I have pairings like Clark/Lex which I simply cannot see as gen (even when I don't always read and can't hardly write the slashy bits.)

Date: 2007-06-12 04:51 am (UTC)Writing it is something of a matter of practice, at least in part; I was very proud to use 'cock' for the first time in a story a few months back XD As far as canon characterizations go, American family shows like SV are mum enough on the issue that I don't have that much trouble extrapolating, though I tend to go with mainstream slash fanon more often than not (Lex as experienced bisexual, Clark as innocent but intrigued) probably because I don't spend a lot of time thinking about it. Other aspects of their characters I'll analyze at great length and develop my own theories, but the sexual doesn't interest me enough to consider it much (there are reasons personal to me for this, but I'll spare you!)
