Comment Meta

[amaresu]

Femslash Mini Meta fest was an utter fail this year. And I'm still not in a place where I could do it, so I purpose Comment Meta. And let's have it cover all things female and fannish. However you define those.

How it works

1. Post a meta topic in a top level comment. Use the subject line for the meta subject and expand as you want in the body of the comment. Or don't.

2. Repeat Step 1 for as many meta ideas as you have.

3. Comment on other meta topics.


It's kinda like a kink meme, only with meta. Feel free to browse the mini meta tag for ideas.

This is meant to be about as low pressure as it comes. Feel free to write on your own journal/Tumblr/blog and link back here. Respond with as little or as much as you want. This post will remain open indefinitely, so please track it if that makes things easier for you.

Re: Word Choices in Smut

I tend to go for the short germanic works over the latin scientific words, because I'm trying to get the sex scene to be physically grounded and not have everyone floating in their head.

I can also sometimes be vague and use the whole person to stand in for their body, like, Andrea worked her fist all the way inside Florence, instead of inside Florence's vagina.

That said, I like the way pudenda sounds, because it has so many vowels and the soft d sounds, and I dislike cunt and slit because they end in hard t sounds.

I have never understood what people have against moist, but I think I'm more likely to describe things as slippery, wet, or damp because moist appears to freak a lot of people out.

The hate for moist baffles me! It's not really a word I'd use in sex scenes (not for reasons of unsexiness; it's just not a word I think of very often), but so many people seem to have such a strong reaction to it in any context, but I'm just like, "Cake! Moist cake! Moist is a great word!"
