Oh God.

I can't write porn.

No, really. I fail at it. I avoid it at all costs. I also can't write AUs, or plots. Obviously. I write short, moody one-shots that tend to focus on a single moment of time and the emotions therein and MAY involve kissing, maybe.

So how did I end up with 4k words of porny, plotty AU fic? 4k words of INCOMPLETE porny, plotty AU fic, at that. WTH? I blame the hurricane.

On that front, we were one of the only people I have spoken to in the state who had internet, power, and no downed trees/flooding the whole storm. I guess sacrificing those virgins helped.

Or maybe TPTB just wanted me to write porn instead?

IDK, you guys. Can I have like, ten volunteers to beta this thing and make it make sense and not be stupid?

ETA: It's xrai_namere's fault. No, really.

You need somebody to look over your work? I find that extremely difficult to believe!

That said, I too volunteer, purely in the name of scientific research, of course. I'll PM you my email addy.

Sent! ♥

Got it. Gonna have a look at it now. I've just realized what conversation you two had that brought this about - I also realized that while I studied classical Greece in high school, that was a hell of a long time ago and I really don't remember any of it! I hope that won't impact my ability to read and enjoy/be objective etc!

Aside from who the gods are, vaguely, which I include, you don't really need to know anything. There are allusions to specific tales, but I twist them a lot anyway, and they're pretty famous ones (except one, which I only just found out, and doesn't really matter if you know it or not!).

Honestly, if it doesn't make sense, it has to be fixed anyway so everyone can understand it. :)

Thanks a bunch again, hun! I really appreciate it!

All looked over and marked! I've just sent it back to you. Hope I haven't completely ballsed it up. :/

Sorry, I'm not going to volunteer to beta because I'm a shitty beta. But I am going to sit on my bed and laugh gleefully because you're the second person I have I inspired to write AU pornines. And then I will make plans to send you cookies and drink soda in your name.
ILU.

:-P The things you make me do. Mind control: You have it.

I can't write porn.

I used to say that too. ;)

[sariagray.livejournal.com]

What, when you were ten? ;)

Thank you, though. This...gives me some hope for my future.

Having your fic open in another tab where I WILL POST A PROPER COMMENT SOON I PROMISE, let me reassure you that you totally can write porn. And plot! Feel free to write more!
