Help!! I'm writing rp slash, and I need help!! The issue: I'm crap at writing sex scenes. It's like I can't get them to feel... real. It's like they come out strained, or fake. It's a C/C fic. I haven't gotten to that section yet, but it would be nice to have a beta, I guess. Craig has had a shower scene with himself, and that turned out better than I thought. And my last fic was, for a lack of a better word, crap. Sure, it was funny crap, but it was still crap. Too much going on. So, help me!!

I've never written Real Person Fiction, but I gather it's hard to get right. I'd suggest researching Chris and Craig to get their characters right and having them interact with each other platonically first rather than starting off with a sex scene. Watch the docs on the DVDs or if you haven't got them yet, there are clips on Youtube.

A word of caution - as I understand it, we're not allowed to post RPS in this community, so make sure you only write it in your personal journal. :)

Nah, it's okay to post it, but it MUST be filtered to members only. It's not in the rules list because it honestly doesn't come up that often.

Oh, I see. I was going by what Kahvi and Roadstergal did with their (amazing) series. :)

Maybe I told them something different? I'm not sure now.

If I remember rightly, it was Fiareynne who handled it. This was way back in 2006; I read the discussion in the archives.

Crap, and she's not around much any more. I'll ping her on Twitter. Thanks!

And I'm not sure how to filter it to members of our community. And will someone help me please?

Okay, forget about the members-only posting part; post it to your journal and then link to it here, as per Fia's earlier ruling on the matter. Which means post it like a normal LJ entry, then make an entry here that links to that entry on your journal.
