Who's the best at writing that?

I'd like to check out a few examples in the story archives if anyone can recommend a few... thanks in advance!

Guys tend to rush things. Odds are a female writer, perhaps in the Lesbian category, would be best. I've no idea who that might be, but I do know the late Colleen Thomas was superb. Here's a link to the list of her stories http://english.literotica.com/stories/memberpage.php?uid=85086&page=submissions

Rumple Foreskin :cool:
 
I'd check out the top rated stories in the Romance category. Lesbian probably isn't bad either. The top stories are usually a great indication of what works in a particular category.
 
I don't think I rate compared to Colly, but a couple of my stories have way more plot than sex.




oh, wait......just about all of my stories are like that. ;)
 
Not me...

I'm a slam-bam-thank-you-ma'am... though every now and then, I go for a tearjerker... girls like to fuck after a good cry.
 
have a go at reading mine - I like to draw out the suspense a bit - have a look at 'Behaving like adults'...

Miranda the Witch is long.

I would recommend my Brigit series:Start Here

Wow, lots and lots of good examples.

I wish I could put this into a how-to. What I've read proves that fluff makes a story live. My book submission-in-waiting looked like a dry piece of chicken breast before the book editors made me liven it up, and I still feel like a novice in this area.

Most Editors for Publishing Companies prefer a good, in-depth story along with good characterizations for the main characters in addition to the sex scenes. You might want to really develop those skills if you are trying to get published for money.
 
Rachlou

Rachlou is pretty damn good at building up sexual tension. Rose's Garden and some of the chapters of her Daisy series do well to build up to a satisfying (ahem) climax.

Although, if I can toot my own horn a bit (asuming I can bend over that far; not as nimble as I used to be), I think i did a fairly good job of building up the tension between Dave and Trish in I Believe . . . but then again, I'm a guy, so I suppose i do tend to rush things a bit.

The lesser publishing houses - the trash ones related to the erotic romance genre - are less strict about that. I do have in depth stories, but fluff is still not a major part of it. I'm aiming for more strict standards and don't like to be short on any aspect of writing. I'd love to put a real, heartfelt story up against someone like Doubleday but I've got a way to go first.
 
That's easy, LT

Give my collection a read. Most of 'em have a lot of buildup and detail before you get to the juicy parts. Well, there was one that started up with a hot and heavy dream/fantasy scene in the first paragraph, but I'd say that was an exception.
 
I've had flack from editors and critics about the length of some of my "shorts", but the inevitable response from readers has been, "I was sad when it ended." I enjoy the build-up much more than the actual sex scene. In fact, when stories launch right into the sex, I have a hard time getting into it. The how-to idea intrigues me. Some people write such good sex that it's a shame I feel as though I'm hearing about it 3 or 4 times removed, rather than living vicariously through the characters in the moment.

I read "Till Dawn" by 3113 today. Dunno about "fluff" but damn it's a good read.
Wow. Till dawn is definitely revolutionary as far as plots go. That ought to be published in the professional sense.

Indeed. A wonderful piece of work.

Full Disclosure was excellent as well.
 
There are so many good stories to read linked in here...I might never write again! :p

Someone needs to prod her into finishing "Show Me Heaven" :D I can't wait to see part 2.
