Some authorly input

[EmilyMiller]

So I’m done (save for self-editing) with a new, mid-length story, ~11k words. It’s kinda a commission, albeit one with no money involved. Basically I got told the scaffold of a story and given free-rein to fill in the blanks in any way I see fit.

I’m starting to write stories as opposed to my typical stroke smut (well there is still a lot of stroke smut in it TBH ) and I had some of my own ideas to bring to this one.

The FMC and MMC have already fucked a lot and - IIRR - both cum twice. I set it up that the FMC tells the MMC exactly what she wants to happen next, saying this while bent over a washroom basin.

And then I cut to parrots (well actually an image of the FMC’s cum-covered face from later on). This allows me to get on with the, not entirely sexual, denouement. It felt like the right thing to do. But a few months ago, I would have written the extra sex scene.

Not sure if this is growth as a writer, or a cop out. Maybe it’s both.

I’m not asking to be told what to do; it’s not like there is a right answer. I’m just interested in whether this situation is familiar to others

I said that I’d post the final story here.

Thanks to everyone who made suggestions.

Any and all feeback welcome, but I’d prefer not to be called a homophobe if that’s OK with you.

There is no right answer but your judgment tells you what to do.

I end Part 5 of HOT AND FUZZY with a blatant sex cliffhanger but resolve it on the next part. In part 4 of ALL THE DEVILS ARE HERE I have both main characters visit 3 sex rooms at an orgy but hint at the rest with a few lines.

If the sex adds nothing and doesn’t move the plot forward and is there cause it’s sex, I’d be tempted not to add it, but only you can decide, if I wrote it and I got to that bit that might even change my mind. I often do.
