I Find There Are 2 Parts To Writing Smut. The Motions And The Emotions. If It Is Between 2 People Who

I find there are 2 parts to writing smut. The motions and the emotions. If it is between 2 people who have no feelings for one another, it is then I don't need to think to hard about it. It becomes like choreographing a dance.

When emotions become involved, I need to get into a right frame of mind. I really have to imagine the scene. The smells, the lighting, the temperature. Even if I don't mention it in the narrative, I need to envision it.

When I first started writing, I was nervous about writing smut. Then I found I was half decent at it, so I enjoyed writing it. But now I try to minimise it. I added unnecessary smut scenes, but now they are only when required for the plot.

If I've got one planned for the narrative, for in a few chapters, and I'm in the right frame of mind to write the scene, despite not arriving at that point in the story. I will write it long before it is due to be released. Although when I do that, I tend to make significant changes, or I end up binning it.

In part 1 of Daggers to the Heart, the smut scene is nothing like the original idea that I had for it. Fortunately, I have kept it and I think it might be suitable to be adapted for part 2 (I have only just thought that while writing this post). 😀

These days I prefer writing a good battle, swordfight or violent death.

Authors...

Not a soul has to answer this but I'm curious - do you love or hate writing spicy scenes?

(I would tag some of y'all but don't want to put anyone on the spot.)

I'm getting ready to write one of these scenes and I really have to be in the right frame of mind to do it anymore whereas when I first started writing fic, I jumped into smut scenarios quicker than the plumber would show up in a porn film. I would never make it as a straight-up erotica author but I could never write clean romance either. Just curious if any fic writers feel strongly one way or another about this.

All I’m saying is, we’re getting Jonsa in the books and I will die on this hill

You know, it’s been about 5 years since the ending of Game of Thrones and this shit is JUST now hitting me that Dan and David were given a rough idea of the ending of the books. Dany burning KL, Bran becoming King, the army of the dead being destroyed, Arya sailing west. All rough drafts they had to fill in the holes without the books. You wanna know WHAT ELSE was incredibly hinted at during season 8? The love triangle between Jon, Sansa and Dany. I don’t even care if I seem delusional at this point. No one can convince me I was crazy at this point.

Really think about some of the scenes we got in season 8. Think about how Sansa was gazing at Jon with a smile of admiration before she saw he was looking at Dany. The immediate reaction of disappointment as she gets up and leaves. The way they have Sansa tell Jon “But you love her.” (Referring to Dany) before the scene cuts completely. The scene where Sansa laughs and shifts her body completely when she realizes it was Dany’s feelings for Jon that brought Dany north. And to me, one of the most important moments was Dany asking if Jon’s love for her bothered Sansa. Exactly why would that be a bother for her? I’ve talked about all of these scenes many times over during the airing of season 8 but even fans who have no idea of the Jonsa theories saw something was a little weird with it.

Jonsa, was it actor chemistry or intentionally filmed to hint at something more?

Was talking to mum (who is 72) about actors chemistry on screen (watching Bridgerton) and the subject of the last 2 seasons of Game of Thrones came up and whether Jon and Sansa were supposed to be flirting, or if it was just natural chemistry.

Mum knows nothing of Jonsa as she is a casual viewer, however she was under the impression that it was filmed in a way to suggest there was meant to be something more in Jon and Sansa's relationship.

Her conclusion was there was meant to be a love triangle, but they didn't do it because it would take up too much time and it was already too rushed.
