Coach's Challenge #HockeyRomance a player & her brother's coach
I'm comfortable w/any, but I'll go with probably the tamest of this WIP. Other than heavy making out in the elevator, this is the 1st bit of interaction in an anon hookup. They only shared nicknames.
CWs: oral, language

For my Club Licentia characters communication is vital, so they do it very well.
In Coach's Challenge it goes great, until one instance that they clear up within days.
"We've been stellar at communication until now," he said. "I don't know what happened. But I'm sorry."

#Smutcember #RomanceReads
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.

Good morning, #WIPSnips Happy Holiday to those who celebrate one today.
The absolute least NSFW "delicious" I have was already posted for smutcember this week. The other 2 I have are absolutely filthy. So I'll just repost the tamest one.
CW: sexy massage with sexual innuendo

Sometimes they show up when the character does. But often, especially w/a series, I think of one I'd like to use for the next character that pops up w/a story in that series. Then that character lets me know if the kink fits or I need to wait for someone else.

#Smutcember #WriteSky #WritingPrompts
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?

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
December 25, 2025 at 1:07 PM
This is a difficult one. There are so many general things to follow, but most also have caveats.
Keep your characters true to themselves is a big one. But. Sometimes the story is based on them exploring themselves. But. Deep down they will still be them & that must show.
1/3
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?

He'd been burning the candle at both ends, nursing me & keeping up w/his coaching duties, so I quietly grabbed a mug from the cabinet to pour my coffee. It was hard to take my eyes off him. He looked so soft & so peaceful in sleep. So massive on my sofa. And hot. The man always looked hot.

Playing a charity coed hockey game, for the girl's youth hockey foundation Harper runs, with past & present pro players.
POV change, to help with context.

I don't share my pen names with family, so none have read it. But pretty much all of my close friends bought & read my published books.

#Smutcember
Considering that many of you may be spending time with loved ones this month, #Smutcember:

Who among your friends and family has read your smut? Has it been a positive experience sharing it with them?

When the relationship is secret & they're at a gala after a charity coed hockey game & she lives to tease & throw him off his _other_ game (or serious lack thereof).
(Hudson, in this snip, knows about them.)
Going with "color" for this one.

I can't recall any not working. But side characters sure let me know, way more often than I'd like, when they want their own story. 🙄

Today's #Smutcember prompt:

Are there any characters you wanted to get together, but couldn’t get it to work? What do you do when the chemistry just isn't clicking?

I didn't think I had "almost" in the WIP I'm using for this so I pulled up an old WIP that has my fave almosts I've ever written (fave couple). Then I remembered I have 1 in my hockey WIP.
Semi NSFW, sensual massage hinting at sexual context.

It's never happened with the MCs, but does all the time with secondary characters. Biggest surprise to me in Coach's Challenge was that the FMCs divorced parents are apparently hooking up in secret. And have been off & on since their divorce 10ish ago. So now they're getting a novella.😂
#Smutcember
Happy Friday, #Smutcember!

Have you ever been surprised by which of your characters hook up? Has a planned romance ever been derailed by chemistry that developed while drafting?

"High slot," a deep voice shouted above the crowd.
With zero hesitation, I spun & slid the puck between the dots where Ricki, our most offensive defender, had snuck in. A slapshot through traffic sent the puck off the crossbar & into the back of the net. Bar down.

The #WIPSnips word for December 19th is "high"

Closest I've got = brick

Somewhere between trying to offer her the space he thought she needed and reassuring her his feelings hadn't changed–he'd said those three words and he fucking meant them–a brick had settled into his gut.

For Coach's Challenge
H&N had a one-night stand so they had no relationship before. Neither expected anything to change. While the sex was purely physical, they did connect on a deeper level while talking (pre & between). (1/2)
#Smutcember #WriteSky
Onward through the mid-month, mid-week slump, #Smutcember:

How do your characters view their relationships changing before and after sex? What factors are influencing this change? Is there one big change, or many smaller incremental ones over time?

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
December 17, 2025 at 2:05 PM
I recently noticed something about my POV in tension scenes (which includes spicy) lately: I often it flip in a scene changeover without even noticing until I go back for a read-thru. So I guess my subconscious is realizing whose POV fits best there & going with it.
Conversely... (1/2)
#Smutcember
Today's #Smutcember prompt:

How do you handle perspectives in sexy scenes? Do you focus on one POV at a time or switch around?

I avoid this word as much as possible so I knew it'd be hard to find one. In 5 wips there were 2 uses. Either suuuuper steamy or sad. I chose the latter. This is from my romantic spec-fic short story, After The Gray.

When the hookup goes better(?) than expected:
I yawned & stretched, body aching like I'd already worked out. I hadn't. The blanket wasn't mine. Neither was the hand over my left breast.
Oh boy.
We must've fallen asleep, despite the fact I'd had every notion of leaving long before morning.
#WIPSnips
Welcome to a new week of #WIPSnips!

The word for December 15th is “blanket”

Which is an appropriate word for today for where I live given the extreme cold we’ve got moving through. Brrrr.

It depends on the characters.Most of my stories come to me fairly complete so I know from the jump which way it'll lean on the spice chart.For single scenes in a WIP it's not dependent on overall level-I go by feel of whether it needs to be detailed, skimmed, or brief tell "flashback."

#Smutcember
Today's #Smutcember prompt:

How do you decide how “far” to take a scene in a written work? Do you have varying levels based on certain factors?

Nash: her confidence & conviction. Dedication to not only the game in connection with her career, but to advancing it & work in making it available to others.
Harper: his generosity & patience. Open-mindedness & unconditional support without bias.
