Shall I Or Shant I? - Tumblr Posts
Question for the author/admin. Since you wrote the one scene in Chapter 17 (the spicy scene) are you planning on writing anymore? Do you write NSFW? Asking for science.
Ah ha ha ha ha… I knew this question might come up. Now how to go about answering it?
So, to answer your first question, I plan on keeping The Yellow Rose of Sodor rated M because sex isn’t a key part of the series. The one scene between Gordon and Camille is probably going to be the only one and that’s because it only felt right as it was to show the progression of their relationship.
Now that being said, there will still be hints at it and more adult content as the story goes but it’ll be left up to the imagination of the reader. A great example is James and Edward’s start of their honeymoon. I gave the scenario, Edward being in the towel only and dropping said towel when he saw James all tied up and blindfolded, but the rest is up to the imagination. There will probably be more scenes like this later on but primarily between Gordon and Camille as they are the main characters.
To answer question number 2, do I write NSFW? Oh honey, I’m an adult female who’s been married for going on ten years and I write, though never published for one reason or another. Yes, I write NSFW and I have long before I rejoined this fandom. It is spicy, it is epic, it is lewd, and it’s not coming out of its file. Which, I know, is depressing to some (and a bit to me because as much as I would love to this is originally a children’s series and well, as this is the internet I don’t know who’s all reading my stuff and Heaven help the poor 13 year old who would stumble upon that file.) Maybe one day I won’t give it a second thought and maybe one day the fans will wear me down to publish something more on the W for Explicit but today is not that day nor do I believe it will happen this week, month, or the near future.
Just as my own sex life is private, so too will Camille and Gordon’s and all the other characters. Not to mention, I’d have to come up with their own individual preferences instead of just writing my own on them and that’s too much work.
HOWEVER, I know for a beautiful fact that there are some authors in this fandom that have written some E stuff that is to DIE for. You can find them on archiveofourown and enjoy that. (I certainly do.)
OK OK, confession. I did once publish a very E explicit Henry/Gordon and then within 24 hours took it down because (1) I’m not a big fan of the ship and (2) I got super anxious about it and anxiety got the better of me. This was before I published any of The Yellow Rose.
TL;DR: No I don’t plan on more full on sex scenes, yes I write NSFW, no it will not be published now, maybe it will in the future but that depends on how future me feels about it and what the fans ask for.
