Rants & Raves of Jasmine’s Fiction

You know how I hate it when people find out that I blog the first thing they ask me is “so what else do you do besides blogging?”  It insinuates that I have no life other than sitting in front of a PC pulling thoughts out of my arse and typing it down.  C’mon dimwits, I blog about my life and the things that I do, what the flaming hell do you mean what else do I do???

So.  Since I haven’t really had a life outside of my [brand new 20 inch high def Samsung LCD monitor woohoo *rubs monitor in affection*] PC, the equation is simple.  No life = no blog. 

Yes it was Merentha drama again.  But all that aside, I decided to take a sabbatical and concentrate on something else in my life.  It sucks up just about the same amount of time and energy as that blasted text game but without the drama.  Folks I’ve found a new hobby.

No I didn’t covert to that blasted World of Warcraft.  LOL.  Although I have been offered several times by the very wonderful Kemenkel that he’ll buy me my account, I have sadly declined such a generous offer.  One addiction at a time folks.

So what’s this new hobby?  Writing fictional and consensual erotica.  Yes please tell me that I’m a depraved pervert.  I haven’t heard that enough lately.

What’s so hard about writing erotica, or ‘pornography’ as some of you more prudish and uptight people would ask?  PLENTY!

1. Making it Tasteful – have you any idea how difficult it is to make it descriptive yet not fall into the trap of using too many x-rated words for genitalia, copulation and the like.  No F-words, no C-words yet making things explicit and exciting – NOT clinical.

2. Storyline – its not just about 2 strangers meeting up and going “oh lets do it” and proceeding to boff like bunnies on bromide.  I still have to somewhat set up a believable scenario with believable people.  And believe it or not, believable sex.  Let’s not forget that it still needs to be entertaining.

3. Hustle & Flow – its not all just lick, suck and f***.  There should be a flow to it; spontaneous, yet planned to a degree as not to be too haphazard.  Then there’s the continuity issue.  Setting the mood, getting clothes off, foreplay, getting into position, switching of positions, actual coupling, climax, wind down etc.

4. Grammar – spelling, tenses, grammar, and conversation set up.  Not to mention how I want to write the story.  Should I do 3^rd party narrative? Or male/female point of view?

5. Shock Value – should I put in some really nasty, depraved stuff?  Some people swings from chandeliers and lets insects crawl all over their genitalia for pleasure you know.

That all being said, I have several completed works for your reading pleasure.  Those of you who are not on my mailing list may click on my Email Me icon for the stories.  Now remember, these stories are EXPLICIT and GRAPHIC in nature so please, do not be a dumb idiot and open them at work/school or in a public place because undoubtedly you will get worked up and I will not be held responsible for your hot and bothered-ness.

Sorry for the long absence folks. I did miss you all very much but I’m back now!
