Okay, so I'm having a difficulty writing fanfic and I was wondering if anybody else has run across it or had any advice.

The boys won't fuck.  

No really. I don't mean I'm having trouble writing a sex scene.  I'm having trouble building any UST at all, much relieving it.  I'm doing a mini-nanowrimo thing, where I just write a minimum of 10 mins a day.  I've made amazing progress.  I finished the BDS/SPN crossover (vaguely implied maybe-sex that I don't even believe).  I worked on the SPN AU seperated-young hooker!fic (and Dean won't fuck).  I started a SPN AU seperated-young blind-vulnerable-tragic!Sam fic (And Sam's in love with Jess and won't fuck).  I tried to plan out the third SeanPatrickFlanery/NormanReedus PWPish piece, and I'm not writing it because you can't have a PWP without sex.

I know I've never been the porniest writer out there,  and I still loves me some slash, but I'm stuck in gen-fic mode and don't know how to get out of it.

Heh.
If anything I have the opposite problem. I think maybe I read too much porn. Lately it's been almost everything that pops up on the spnnewsletter thingy every day. And yeah, some aff.net too.

I almost thought about not letting myself read porn at all for a week or so, to build up some internal tension, but I'm following some really great WIPs and I'm afraid I might lose them if I don't read them as they come out.

I think it's more a problem of finding the switch that turns on the heat.

But yeah, heh, maybe threatening to never write porn again might work, because I seem to have a problem keeping most of my writing promises. :)

Thanks, lady.
