What parts do you like to write?

[gystex]

I'm just curious to know, what parts of a story do people around here like best to write?

Myself, I generally prefer to write the seduction. As a writer, my favorite part of the sex is done when the participants commit to the act - whether that be signaled with a kiss, disrobing, or simply saying "Fuck me now." Foreplay is fun to write as well, as long as the seduction process continues throughout. I usually have dialogue mixed in with the sex, and try to describe how one or both participants are getting more and more turned on as they go, to the point of no return.

Orgasms are boring to write (though entirely satisfying in real life). The reason is that, on paper, there are only so many ways to come. A man, for instance, can reach orgasm from:

Vaginal sex
Oral sex
Anal sex
Tit-fucking
Handjob
Mastubation

That pretty much ends the list, with the exception of really weird crap like nasal sex or vending machines. Foreplay, on the other hand, can be much more varied, allowing for greater creativity in writing. Seduction is even more so - there are millions of ways to initiate a sexual encounter. Actually, that's an inherent weakness in the CHYOO system and why I think so many threads hang unfinished: in CHYOO, one starts with small numbers of threads and branches out, while the way it ought to be is that it starts with a hundred different beginings that all lead to the same eventual climax. Perhaps I'll try to achieve that effect sometime by writing a story in reverse, but it would probably be too complicated and hard to keep straight (anyone who's seen the movie "Memento" might have an idea of what such a story would read like).

Anyone else care to add their thoughts?

My Pleasure...

Well,
lately I have enjoyed writing the plot developing threads, however I do include an equal ballance of sex in them. I have noticed that my sex scenes are becoming a lot longer. I think the most part is like Gystex said... the orgasm is boring to write. hell the whole sex is boring to write. I use to enjoy it a lot... but after you write about 50 sex scenes you find you are repeating youself. I try to make something new everytime... but it's almost impossible to write sex that many different ways.

So that's my thoughts...

Foreplay

I like writing the sex scene in the foreplay stage. As Tim said the hard part is to keep things fresh and a little different each time.

A close second would be the plot development as I really enjoy that as well.



PS:
Addition to Gystex's list of way to reach orgasm--

How about reaching orgasm the old middle school way---dry humping. In eighth grade that was as good as sex got.

Im going to have to go with the rest of the crew and say plot devolpment is my preference in writting. I like the set up a lot more than the actual outcome. The amount of sex threads I have written in recent times has dropped significantly from when I first started writting.

And Memento was a serious cool movie. What the directors commentary on the special edition DVD to really mess with your mind.

I think that ending threads ("The End") are the hardest ones for me. I haven't actually written any genuine story-end resolution threads, though I foreshadow one in AaronWebster's A Middle Class Orgy (whose bed might the protagonist end up in when the party breaks up)?

I wouldn't say that writing a climax thread, or a description of an orgasm for the main character or someone else in the scene, is boring. Challenging, yes. Sometimes it's hard to write one that feels like a satisfying contribution. Boring, no.

Sometimes I notice some sameness in my descriptions, but some of that comes from similarities in real-life observations -- tensing and relaxing of the neck or feet, floods and waves of sensation, etc.

A satisfying orgasm/climax thread, to me, is one that fits in with the build-up and the character/setting context of the scene, rather than just being a well-described account of the sensations, or of someone else's responses. This bit, about the character/setting context, may be why I don't feel limited by Gystex's list ("how many ways are there to come?").

A climax thread that doesn't work these in just stops the plot, and what's the path to, what's the motivation for the next thread? Unless you plan to end with the "climax".

Even so, it can be a challenge is getting the plot and/or action re-started after a climax, which sometimes requires an awkward bridge or scene change just when you might like to enjoy the afterglow. Unless there are more people around in the scene who haven't reached climax...or have just recovered...or unless the plot drives a scene change, like some of the threads in Best Man's Diary (Got to run, I have to get dressed for the wedding!)

I'm not sure I can pick a favorite between plot development, seduction, and foreplay. Heck, my characters try to develop the plot (or at least talk to develop their personalities) into the "climax" scenes.

It's kinda different in CHYOO. Ending passages in normal erotica can promise all sorts of unelaborated delights in the future of the characters. Ending a thread in a CHYOO story, however, seems to take some of the fun out of it. I've done it once or twice, but only when I thought the thread was heading in a direction that directly betrayed prior posts in the same thread: loving sibling turns sadist because author likes sadism, even when characters are clearly established as loving, that sort of thing.

Digging up more old threads....

Actually, that's an inherent weakness in the CHYOO system and why I think so many threads hang unfinished: in CHYOO, one starts with small numbers of threads and branches out, while the way it ought to be is that it starts with a hundred different beginings that all lead to the same eventual climax.

The idea of a branching narrative that still retains story coherence is something that's fascinated me from the moment I discovered Chyoo. I write for a living, but (like most authors) I write a streamlined narrative that passes from Point A to Point B according to my wishes or the needs of the material being written.

This kind of writing, however, demands variation in terms of the events, but if there's not an overall focus, one ends up with a massive sprawl of threads that go exactly nowhere. Consequently, over the last couple of days I've been writing threads that expand and then contract, where all eventually lead to the same basic conclusion, but take varying paths to get there.

I have voted for plot development, but this is only true in essence. I agree that the sex scene and orgasm is often tedious, but I really enjoy setting up the scene to have sex.

Now that I think about it, I've actually on occasion written the sex scene and then left it open for someone else to write the orgasm, using the ever useful "Where do you want to cum?" continuing question, though I only really did this when I first started CHYOOing.

I guess I may write in a weird way, but more often than not I think of a particular fantasy that I want to write about, then look at the story and work out a way of plausibly manipulating it to fit. However, once this has happened, and I've written the build up to sex, I often lose interest and the sex scene itself becomes a formality.

If you look at, Fun with the Family , for instance, I've gone to great lengths to get April into a school uniform, a school and even a specific room, but where I've bothered to write the sex scene it's all a bit standard. Ho Hum.

I have written a few End threads, my favorite of which is in Venus Rising.

Fitting the sex naturally into the plot is something I really like.

Because of the nature of CHYOO, you pretty much have to write the sex, so I dive in head first, so to speak. I especially like the geometry intricacies of the classic threeway. These are much easier to write in new and interesting ways, but still can be affected by boredom.
