--- Quote from: twistedude on September 12, 2006, 08:01:35 pm ---O.K. I have a question, and it applies to you, marakesah sparrow, as well as other fanfiction writers: HOW can you have MIND-BLOWING sex with someone one minute, and an hour later, be hedging you bets...maybe I just haven't had enough mind-blowing sex (has anyone?)...but when I do, I remember it for a long LONG time, and I don't give a hell of a lot of thought about what sex my partner was, except insofar as it contributed to the MIND-BLOWING SEX! I don't go around worrying if I'm queer, straight, striped, or whatever. He/she/mix--is DA MAN!
I mean, you go out of the way to make the sex real, real exciting--and then...now wait a minute, I gotta think about this some more...GIMMIE A BREAK!

I like what marakeshsparrow said about this, but I think, for my part, you have to take into account that this is fiction we're writing here and that "realism" is never really realism... one of the things you have to remember about fiction is that only conflict is interesting, this is one reason (from what I've learned of fiction writing) why even though many AU writers give Jack and Ennis that sweet life, Jack's son still dies or someone in town causes trouble for the two or Jack and Ennis fight... readers, as much as we want Jack and Ennis to be happy, don't want to read 20 pages of pure bliss, it's boring and though true to real life, not real in a fiction sense.... so after hot sex comes more conflict, it's what keeps a story moving, unless it's the end of the story and you've reached the end of your character arc/plot.
I hope that makes sense, if anyone agrees or wants to argue, I'm cool with it ;D
By the way, marakeshsparrow, I'm really EXCITED! (about the new ch. that is!)

Absolutely agree. Conflict is what makes a story. That's pretty much all there is to it. Now, there should be limits...I mean, no one (well maybe someone) wants to read melodrama...unless its written rediculously well. But the conflict does keep the ball rollin'.
And I'm glad you're excited! :-*

SPOILERS....
Nooooo why? I don't get it, Jack was going up to that guy because he needed to be able to stand up for himself if he wanted to lead that life with Ennis, and as a result he decides to cut his ties with Ennis? This came totally out of the blue! You are keeping us on the edge of our seats! Thanks for posting this, but I am really confused now... :( Maybe that is exactly what you were aiming to do? ;)
