do you just start writing and suddenly you have 5k or something?
LOL. Um, no. I wish.
Yeah, I plan out the scenes. I don't have to worry about obstacles because if I'm writing longer fic, it's probably going to be incest. So the obstacle is the taboo.
But you have to understand that UST is hotter to me than sex. Fooling around is hotter than sex. Not quite having sex is hotter than sex. Wanting to have sex is hotter than sex. The longer that's drawn out, the more I like it. It's not what everyone wants in a longer fic. And I've read plenty of long fics that were sex scene after sex scene, and those work, too, as long as the stakes are continually raised.
ETA: I'm talking strictly about erotica here because I wouldn't have a clue how to write a fic with an actual plot.
