Um...Doesnt the whole gay porn thing pretty much cover that? : )

I don't know. Poetry maybe? It feels utterly self indulgent as I really have no knowledge to back up my poems, which is usually kinda the point as without the technical background its just a lot of big words strung together. I have had some really super nice comments about my poetry though which I feel kinda guilty about. My prose isn't all that either but I feel at least like I can string a story together.

Also, I wrote a haiku about dog poop. Doesn't get more embarrassing than that (although I was chuffed to bits with it : ) x

Oooo. Okay.

Favourites. Homo pink is just perfection as far as I'm concerned. The stories she tells, the way she tells them, the way she's able to craft squiggles in a screen so that they reach into my chest cavity and dismantle me from the inside...she's just wonderful. There are a ton of others that I feel really passionate about, riyku, ephermeralk, bleepobleep...oh too many to mention, but yeah, homo pink is my favorite (I have a tag and everything : )

I tend to do a lot in my head. I have key scenes that I can see really clearly, all the dialogue, environment etc, then I have bridging story that I just have a vague idea about. But when I sit down to write, it tends to end up being a real surprise to me what happens. I think it's why I like writing so much, I get to fill in the story and see how it pans out as I go. I rarely completely change the story arc but it's still really interesting to see how it pans out : ) So a bit of both I guess : ) xx

Yeah, there are far too many for me to pick one...or several. And your writing process sounds a bit like mine. Thanks!
