How is the writing going for everyone? I finished an exchange fic and am hard at work on another one--neither is going to set the world on fire, but I hope they make my recip happy, they were fun to write. I hadn't written a threesome in ages and it was an interesting challenge! TOO MANY LIMBS.

How about the rest of you? Keeping all your limbs straight? :)

I'm catching up to ALL THE POSTS now!

With threesomes/moresomes, so far I've found it handy to pick a POV character, and then only include the limbs that character can feel at the moment, but yes, it is a challenge. I find it tougher mapping out where everyone is, there's a reason the last one I wrote was a very planned/premeditated foursome...I cannot imagine writing one where everyone is lost in the throes of passion. Waaaayyy too many randomly moving limbs at that point

It does really help to be very deep in a character's POV--it also makes sense from a writing perspective, the ones I've read that weren't felt like watching someone arrange Barbie dolls. :P But sometimes I'd be like "Wait, can...can he be kissing him right now? Where the heck is he at this point?" :P
