Filling Requests

[lightofdaye]

So I know a good deal of people on my friend list also signed up the smutty_claus and hooray! Prompts have gone out early. So we've all got a couple more days to work on it.

Obviously it being a secret, we can't say anything about our assignments specifically but it's still inspiring me to ask how you go about tackling them? Picking the pairing you'll use for example.

And the big thing, how to you feel about using elements that are in neither the prompt section or the squicks section? I've previously skated over oral sex in assignments because its in neither section and I'm not sure if they'd like it or not.

Any thoughts?

I'd feel free to use elements that the assignment doesn't mention at all. I know there are a lot of smutty things I enjoy that I didn't specifically request on my form. Actually, oral sex is one of them.

I think, overall, it's best to let the scene dictate the sexual content. I mean, if the assignment doesn't list oral sex as a prompt, then I wouldn't make it the focus of the fic. But if it's not listed as a squicky, either, and it feels natural to the scene and the characterizations... why not?

I tend to focus on the pluses not the minuses so I skim the squicks list to make sure I'm not offending then I just try to include as many of the wants/likes as possible and then try to make them feel organic to the scene.

For one fest I even wrote the ending first and sort of reverse engineered the rest of the story to fit that scene.

Most of the time, I just watch the pairing in my head like a movie and see what situations and dialogue comes naturally to it. I generally prefer romantic comedy type scenarios so it's fairly easy to put the characters in awkward but happy situations (kind of like your Dean shower scene) and then add more smut than tv would usually allow.

For pairing picking, I look at their preferred pairings alongside the wants and see which pairing would logically (or surprisingly) fit those wants. Like maybe Luna is a closet dominatrix or Lily Luna has daddy-issues and likes to be tied up and spanked. Or maybe my head is just weird, haha.

Haha, that's all you took from that whole thing?

But yes, I do see Lily Luna as a bit of a sex kitten (much like Ginny). I think sex is less romanticized for them because they grew up with so many brothers.

(Obviously, that's not a general rule, and might not even be the case, but I like to think that flawed logic applies here. ^_^)

I agree with Tam on all of this!

LOL +1 this is totally my headcanon for Lily Luna (especially after reading that Cormac/Lily Luna ficlet of yours, Tam :D)

I'm very happy about my assignment. I'm not too sure yet about which pairing I'm going to pick, because several would be interesting. I think it's going to depend on the kinks I choose to picture, because the dynamics wouldn't suit just *any* characters imo :)

As for the things that aren't listed, I guess it's less problematic for art... Anyway, I agree with what the others said on the matter ^_^

Lily Luna as a sex kitten? Tam, you know I'd never write such a thing.

;D
