Lesson Learned...Don't Stay Up Until 2 am Writing Porn (Unless Necessary)

[elrhiarhodan]

I had a pretty sucky day yesterday.  Not only did I lose a huge chunk of my WC/CM fic, I burned up a whole evening trying to attend a political fundraiser (long story, funny - but I don't feel like telling it.  It proves that I am, in truth, an idiot).

So, I get home and find this incredible comment from shea about how much she loved Part III of my Public Sex fic - and was specific about what worked for her and why (the best type of concrit).  And all the annoyance of the day just slipped away.

One of the reasons why I had sort of abandoned Public Sex was I couldn't figure out how to actually get P/E/N to have sex in the Met - thus filling the prompt.  I know the Metropolitan Museum of Art pretty well, and there's really no place on a Saturday that's out of the way enough for coupling without getting arrested, except maybe a bathroom (and that's really not Public Sex).  

I was also having a hard time (pun intended) with Public Sex because  I was getting too wrapped up in how to fit the story into canon.  Truth of the matter - when it comes to PWP, do canon details REALLY MATTER?

So, anyway.  Shea writes this wonderful comment on how much she loves Sex!Fairy El - and everything clicks.  Since El is the catalyst for the kink, she needs tell the meat of the story (the sex) from her own POV.  I started Part IV at 9 pm, and worked steadily until nearly 1:45 am, did a quick edit (and not a very good job of it, I hate to say - major grammar cleanup in Aisle 3 this morning). 

I don't know where the story came from - it sort of wrote itself.  I usually work all the details out in my head before commiting them to text - but this one (like my Aftermath fic) sprung full blown, like Athena from the head of Zeus.  Shea was the hammer that cracked my skull opened.  If you like Part IV of Public Sex (A/K/A New York, New York), please be sure to thank her.
