discussion Have you experimented with writing smut?

[Vidilo]

Sure. Lots of it. In school. There wasn't a female classmate about whom I didn't write some lewd story.

Yup, did lots of ERP a year or so ago. It's fun enough but writing a whole novel is probably beyond my skills. Also I get bored quick and might want to do a different scenario constantly.

Writing is all about practice and using other's books for fuel. Read the classics for pointers and the old top sellers. Modern writing is more focused in industrialization and profit than actual passion from a writer.
It is not a fast paced job. It can take a long time to write something simple the exact way you want, and every time you proof read it you will feel that it can be done better. But that is part of it.
I have experience in writing since I was young and discovered the world of tabletop role playing games. As the oldest, it was my job to plot the stories for the players to live in and together further develop the story.
Also writing reviews for videogames, movies, and such can be a good method to exercise.

I've tried back in the day when I was starting to really learn what I'm into sexually, and most of the stuff them is really amateur. Since then I've been into RP and ERP, I feel pretty comfortable with it including descriptions, but I haven't did any major writing for anything like that in a while. Been meaning to do it both for sex stories or just fantasy stories in general.

I used to write adult fan fics a long time ago but never got too into it. I wanted to write when I was younger but didn't have the fortitude

No, never. I lack any creative spirit. My wife and my sister-in-law in their school and college years composed poems, wrote plays (many of them were staged at school and college theaters, they were decent things, without the frivolity), but now they are away from it. Household, worldly problems - there is no time for fooling around.

I have written down many ideas and started on several projects, but never finished any of them. I have kinda given up on writing the last year, but I still have a couple of stories I really want to write. I think the biggest problem I have is overscoping. I need more practice to become a better writer, but I start on way too big projects for my skill level. Also, writing sex scenes is way harder than I expected.

Admittedly, I sometimes take the 50 shades of grey route, and make a fanfic, then repurpose it with new characters/worldbuilding later. That's just because I'm lazy with smut. Other times, I'll just write a regular story, then contemplate if I want to amp the rating; inserting smut in various places.

I have about 4 shorts on Amazon. Make about $1 a month in royalties. But tbh they are awful. I keep meaning to make better ones but haven't gotten around to it, plus Amazon is super restrictive and most of my ideas would be taboo/incest related, so it's harder to get motivated to write vanilla smut. but if you do it you can monetize it (for what little it's worth) so if youre thinking of doing it then go for it

 

[Sharpened]

I ran a tumblr yeeeeeaarrrs ago where I wrote short stories in the form of an individuals perspective, and would take submissions from other users. I wrote about 10-12 stories, and had around that many submissions [as well as even shorter publicized user comments].

Hell no I could barely even pass my English and literature high school classes.

Then again any idiot can use A.I tools to write smut nowadays.

It's never too late to try!

I could but I just started reading A.I smut on another forum.

Half of the stories makes no damn sense while the other half are passable.

 

[Yummy10]

I've tried a few times. its a lot harder than i thought it would be. The adhd doesn't help either i get distracted easily is what im saying

 

[intime577]

I actually wasn't a terrible writer in the past but I never really ventured into writing any fiction let alone smut. Maybe I'll give it a shot in the future.
