Happy new year, friends! Aces are new beginnings in the #tarot suits, and throughout December I finished out the Ace cards in The Healed Thorn and Cursed Thorn tarot decks! Here's the set.

#SmutCember Since I'm new to sharing my stuff in this corner of the writing world, I've learned that there are a LOT of people who write and enjoy smut and the adjacent categories. There's so much thought and nuance that goes into every relationship pictured.

Let us know what you learned this month and who you'd acknowledge in your published smut!
BONUS: If you have it, share some spicy character art!

#SmutCember I have a vampire pirate captain that I'm planning to write a novella for this year. Aurelia Delaney and her navigator, Phoebe Vespertine. Stuck at port in a snowstorm at Christmas, because Phoebe is sick and waiting on a delayed shipment. Some delicious, cozy yearning sapphics.
It's the penultimate prompt of #Smutcember, everyone! Tell us:

#SmutCember Porn is straight up sex, no real plot or anything needed. Erotica has a bit of plot to it, but mostly still just focused on the act. Smut has the most emphasis on intimacy involved, rather than just the act.
Something of a reflective topic for today's #Smutcember prompt:
What are the differences between porn, smut, and erotica to you? What's something you wish was better understood about these distinctions, or these styles/genres in general?

#SmutCember I tend to mix both anatomical terms and euphemisms together. Too much anatomical terminology makes it feel distant and cold; too much of euphemism or synonym can make the reader roll their eyes and pull them out of the moment. Like most of my prose, I aim for rhythm and poetry.
For today's #Smutcember prompt:
Word choice has come up often as tricky territory for style, preference, and squicks. With regards to terminology, do you prefer anatomical terms, euphemisms, or synonyms?

#SmutCember Oh god. Abyss and Ebony are entirely in tune during intimate situations, but they're very bad at communicating outside of that. They get better throughout their relationship, but it's generally not well.

How well do your characters communicate? This could be verbally or non-verbally, and it could be outside of, before, after, or during intimate encounters.

#Smutcember Some characters are planned, some are not. Since a lot of my characters are vampires, for example, their partners tend to have a vampire kink - biting, neck kisses, etc.
For the most part they come up organically, though.

#SmutCember my best advice is to keep it natural. Sex can have anxiety, it can have humor. It can also very quickly hit the realm of unbelievable if you try to write it too technically or distance the reader.
Lean into poetry and metaphor, let the characters' yearning and need do the talking.

#SmutCember Ooh... I'd probably write something for Esmeralda in The Night Garden series. She runs an alternative and kink lifestyle club. There's a few Witches in the series she's close enough to to sleep with, but it'd probably be with Austin for a short, fun hurt/comfort.
Here's a fun exercise to start your week, #Smutcember:
If you were to write a sexy AU for any of your characters, what’s the setup, and who’s hooking up? If you HAVE written (or drawn!) such an AU already, feel free to share it!

#SmutCember Touch! There's so much you can do with a character relying on touch. Shy characters closing their eyes, someone hyper-aware of someone's hands...
This is especially fun with Abyss and Ebony, because Ebony tends to be blindfolded at first (Abyss has extreme self esteem issues).

Ebony and Abyss are strange because they started with an agreement. Just sex, no strings attached, but Ebony caught strong feelings. So, sex wasn't the changing point for them. Abyss marks their turning point as when she started to come around for more than feeding.

how established is the relationship? How comfortable are the characters together? What reservations do each involved have? Is romance the focus of this story?

I think both are great! I think I actually prefer scenes for a new relationship (after a slow burn of course, so I guess they're emotionally well-established in that regard lol). New relationships tend to have a shy, awkward, more exploratory tone that is fun to write.
