A completely fluffy post

Because I so don't want to chronicle my day.

It occurs to me that at least one of my issues with constructing sexual fantasies without consent of any other parties involved boils down to a writing problem.

Specifically: "You don't really have a good enough handle on this character to predict how they'll behave in this situation, do you?"

Hah.

(Also, without said consent, said character wouldn't be in that situation, so no story.)

Memory pastiche is much easier.

HAH! When I write porn is the only time I don't really give a shit about how good it is as writing (since I write it for my own consumption only).

Memory pastiche works, as does stuff I've discussed with person X but we haven't yet done (because then I have an idea of what they'll do--it may be incorrect, but it exists).

This problem is not unfamiliar to me.

I've only ever written sexual fantasies for people I was in long-term relationships with, and I've felt pretty confident about what was ok to write about.

I do drive K. nuts sometimes "checking" afterwards. So, do you think you'd say that/feel that? Or would it be more like....

It's also something I ask about first.
