--How do you feel about smut?

I'm very pro-smut! But I've discovered I have a hard time writing it in longer, plottier stories, especially those that aren't romances. I suspect that's because plot developments don't often take place during smut scenes (unlike in a romance, where of course sex scenes can provide really key relational development) and so it feels kind of...extraneous? I find it a lot easier to write in one-shots, somehow...

In writing, I have a one-shot story and a chapter done and betaed and ready to post, whoo! However, I'm not posting them because I'm getting on an intercontinental flight in twelve hours and I don't like to leave comments entirely untouched for so long... But it feels really good to have some writing done and ready to post, that's for sure! How about you?

Ugh, can I just pause to say that having to write a poem to demand, especially for something that sad, is a serious drain and very difficult.

I have tried very hard to write some porn in the past specifically because I know it's so devalued and I think that's awful! I haven't lived up to that recently, I will have to fix that. :)
