#Smutcember Maya and Leander communicate exceptionally well in bed - safe, sane, and consensual BDSM play isn't possible without communication. Out of bed, on the other hand, both kind of suck at it.
Hope you're having a restful Friday, #Smutcember! Today's question:
How well do your characters communicate? This could be verbally or non-verbally, and it could be outside of, before, after, or during intimate encounters.

#DeckTheHalls This is Macska, lady's maid and general all around mother figure to Illiana (the human duchess). Macska is a cait sidhe who Illiana gave a job when the kitty was a refugee and who returned that care one thousand-fold.

"No adverbs" is a piece of advice I ignore regularly.

I've gotten to this point in my life where I really don't care how well it's meant when someone who knows me, and knows I'm Jewish, still wishes me Merry Christmas. Like, really, fuck you very much. I'm 53 and have no fucks left to give about this. Fuck Christian Hegemony.

Jeremy Baruh, MC of Naga-na Give You Up. He's a single grandfather - his wife died a while ago and his daughter right before the story starts - who gave up a lot to be a good guardian for his granddaughter (he WAS a volunteer firefighter). He's a thinker, too, but unsure of himself. #DeckTheHalls

#Smutcember Sometimes, but usually not. My human/naga paring was designed around the human discovering he likes being manhandled, but I didn't know Maya and Leander were going to go full femdom/sub until the third draft.
Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, #Smutcember! I'm partial to the Yule vibes myself, but any excuse for a little holiday spice. 😏 With that in mind, we ask you:
Do you plan your characters with specific kinks, or do they arise organically?

Um, it's my name? I ended up with olinj on Xitter when looking for some variation on my name, then ported it over here so people would find me easily. Oh, and also my strong stance on still masking because COVID and all.

I've done so a few times in the past but for anyone who's new here, it's basically just my last name paired with a random number. Technically, there IS a meaning behind the number, but it's a story that I'd rather just not mention because it involves embarrassing memories.

I love blue jays. Deeply. I started throwing out peanuts for crows when I first moved to this house, but my most regular customers at Peanut O'Clock are blue jays and I've grown to love them and all their quirks.

This thought inspired by the fact that I inexplicably have "The Internet is for Porn" from Avenue Q stuck in my head this morning.
One more piece of advice - if you're feeling uninspired, consider watching some porn. I've written more than one sex scene that was inspired by something I saw online (though never one-for-one). Yes, really. #Smutcember
Time to share some wisdom, #Smutcember:
What advice would you give others about writing smut? Alternatively, if you're newer to writing smut, what advice would you like to get from your fellow participants?
