Merry Monday, #Smutcember!
In your stories, do you prefer a slow burn or fast feelings? What appeals to you the most about writing your preferred pacing?

currently switching over to my fantasy WIP, and I would say that my MC is thinking so much about the past, it might impact her future.
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
How much does your character think about the future?
Do they have plans for retirement and a pension set up? A distant dream but no real plans? Do they live each day as it comes and never think about it?

I enjoy characters unveiling the ugly parts of themselves, and coming to realize the counterpart doesnt find them repulsive as expected. As I've mentioned before, vulnerability is hot and having someone discover even at their lowest they still have inherant value deserving of respect?

yep!!
ive read a lot of heat and spice in the fanfic space, but i haven’t quite gotten too far in my own writing.
i don’t mind other people’s characters being open door, but my own characters keep the deadbolt on and locked. lol

Last establishing question, #Smutcember:
Do you read different kinds of smut than you write, or is that Venn diagram a circle?

As we continue into #Smutcember, it's important to know:
What is your spice comfort level? Does it vary between what you enjoy privately and what you're willing to share? Do you have hard boundaries for what you engage with?

definitely neutrals. E lives a pretty nomadic and prefers clothes that pair well together, specially for outdoor weather. Simple shirts and pants in brown, green, and tan.
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
Does your character have a particular color scheme?
Are there specific colors they prefer for their clothing, accessories, hair etc?
Is it for practical (e.g. stealth) or aesthetic purposes?

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! Feel free to come back to this one if you're busy today (or claim this is a work thing and use it to hide in the bathroom for a few minutes—I'm not judging!)
Fan-cast 1 character (or more) from your story. Doesn't have to be a modern celeb!

tbh, i try not to fancast so i dont get too locked in on any one actor. More like i base my characters’ appearance on amalgamations of commercials, Ads, and people i knew.
Based on vibes alone, a Lucas Till or younger Leo DiCaprio? Sasha Pieterse? And Camila Mendes? Just for a few characters.
