July 15/16:

Are there any kissing and/or intimacy scenes in your story? How comfortable are you with writing kissing/intimacy scenes?

...no, not really, to the first; and because I'm really *not*, to the second.

Mostly for the reasons mentioned back on July 11, here - schelling.pt/@cerebrate/110697 - which makes them very difficult for me to write and even harder to read.

(It also doesn't help that I'm ace-though-not-aro, which makes some areas of human behavior harder for me to interpret than the tentacle-dances of the methane-breathing brain slugs of Balahara IIIa.)

@cerebrate Most of the time, I tend to fade to black, just because I don't think the story needs it.

Although the smutfic I wrote particularly to make myself do it is the most popular of all my stories, with literally thousands of positive comments and affirmations for the way my characters do it. So I can write it, apparently.
