Nothing posted yet but i am working on a story, I will post it once it's finished then sent to an editor then edited by me BUT
I've noticed when reading (Mostly I like to read in the LW and Novels sections) authors take a paragraph or two to describe the characters, since I like LW usually the description is by the author voice and he describes the soon to be discovered cheating wife as short with large breasts (or tall with pert breasts) and shaved or unshaved etc.
Then he goes on to describe himself usually I'm no Brad Pitt or I'm not fat but I've gotten softer in the middle etc.
To me this derails the actual movement of the story ahead. I've tried in my own unpublished work to describe my characters as the story progresses. So my main female character hidden assets come into focus during the sex scenes, she's short she doesn't have huge breasts, she has pubic hair but not a tremendous amount, what color is she. These descriptions come out in the actual action, or earlier when other people are around so you get a picture if someone hugs or someone looks up to meet the other persons eyes.
Same goes for the male, his penis size, color etc. I like this but I am wondering if because these people currently live in my brain and I KNOW what they look like do the readers need that paragraph of exposition, as if the people are being described as if they are Pokemon about to battle?
Curious as to what your tastes are, I find myself skimming over descriptor passages and moving on to sections that tell the story.
