Welcome to the first Q&A post! At the risk of looking incredibly stupid, I'll be the first one to do the Q&A, in the hopes that it will encourage more writers to participate!
Hmmm.... Okay, here's one: Say the writers of the next Sherlock Holmes Movie couldn't come up with anything and stole a plot-line/scene from one of your fics - What would you prefer they stole? (and impact on the movie's rating is inconsequential.) And why?
Well, of course I'd love to see some H/W action on the screen. But as for actual plot-line, I'd either like to see something like The Hardest Part where they actually have to work for their relationship to work out. Or a complete mindfuck like The Worst Of All Sins because I love movies that make me sob my heart out.
But to be completely honest, I don't think they should take a plot-line (or lack thereof) from any of my fics, because whatever I write, my characters are either mad, miserable, dead or having filthy sex. Or all of the above. :P
I guess this is kind of similar to the first question but I'm genuinely curious: If you were chosen to write the second Sherlock Holmes film, how would you make it go?
Hmm, that's a tough question. Well, since they pretty much went AU with how Holmes hears about Moriarty anyway, I'd probably do a sort of movie version of FINA. I'd focus on Watson's grief after Reichenbach and how soon after he loses Holmes, he loses Mary. I really want to see Watson deal with all of that, especially Mary's death, because I don't think it's ever been done on screen before (correct me if I'm wrong). I'd have the movie end with Holmes coming back after the Hiatus. And then get to writing the third movie. Oh, and it would be six hours long. :D
As you say, you write a lot of porn. Do you find it challenging to keep it from getting samey between stories, or even within the same story? (just for the record, I don't think you write samey porn, is why I'm asking)
Absolutely! I sometimes stop in the middle of a sentence thinking "Wait. This sounds familiar." Especially with porn it's hard to come up with new scenarios every time. There's only so many words for 'penis' and at some point it just gets ridiculous, trying to come up with a position I haven't had them do before or wondering which of the 'cock's I should change to something else. But in the end, it very much depends on the story. There are stories and scenarios that make it easy for me to get creative and come up with something new. And then there are stories where it takes me days to just come up with a plausible sex scene and preferably one that hasn't been done ten times already.
It is something that's important to me. Unless it fits the story and the setting, I'm not a big fan of porn that is just about getting off. Especially when it comes to Holmes/Watson that kind of fic always makes me frown and wonder if it isn't rather OOC, which distracts me from the actual story. The same goes for overly romantic, poetic sex scenes. To be honest, I'll abandon a fic if it either focuses too much on the sex or is all about the emotion. It's a delicate line between crude, cheap porn that makes you cringe in disgust and cliched, flowery sex scenes where all you can do is laugh at the many eupehisms for 'penis' (used only so the word 'cock' doesn't appear).
When I write porn I don't really concentrate on making it about the emotion as well. I just try to keep in mind that sex can be emotional and still be filthy and explicit. Basically, I try to write the kind of porn that I like to read and hope that others enjoy it too!
