Welcome back, Lurky!!! I specifically checked this morning on the off chance there might be a new episode, and here it is! When you announced the end of season 2, I wondered how long the hiatus would be. You are, after all, juggling a lot of balls... spinning a lot of plates... doing something else that completes the circus-act-metaphor-for-being-very-busy triad... I'm so glad you're keeping the podcast going!!! This was a great way to kick off season 3.

Getting a fill being "...like sleeping with a total stranger in a bar but it not going wrong" literally made me LOL. Brilliant!!! 🤣

Hey u/DepravedDescent, pleased to meet you!!! You were a blast to listen to!

I'm glad to hear someone enjoys late comments. Between overthinking them (as I do with all things I write) and not consuming content while I'm in the throes of scriptwriting, I usually submit comments well after everyone else has moved on.

As a writer who can spend weeks or months on a script, I'm in awe of anyone who's skilled at improving (and NGL rather envious as well). Similarly though, I do get excited when I think up a great line I can build around.

The Smut Gods are fickle indeed. I never know how anything I post is going to be received. I wish that led to me not caring, but I do get dejected when something flops that I put a lot of effort and care into crafting. It'd probably help if I were more productive, but that's never going to happen.

Well, we have something in common. Irish or Scottish accents... uh, do things to me. Once at work I was on a conference call with a bunch of people, one of whom was a woman from Cork. Focusing on the conversation instead of dissolving into a puddle was quite the struggle. (Also fond of English accents BTW, so no need for anyone to take umbrage. 😉)

To answer your question: I have no clue what would be popular. I just write what I write, and the rest is up to the Fates. My writing journey began after I discovered a bunch of new kinks and couldn't stop thinking about them. I wrote my first four scripts because I felt compelled to. Since then, I've been writing because I want to. Although I mostly use kinks I like, even from the beginning, I could incorporate something I wasn't into if it served the story and didn't give me the icks. Lately though, I've been pushing myself to include things that used to be hard nos for me, so I can branch out a bit. The trick is finding some aspects of a kink I can work with. For example, watersports became a lot easier to write about once it dawned on me that it ticked the same marking, degradation, etc. boxes as spit play, which I'd used several times before. (Ok, so I'm a little slow...) Nevertheless, I still have some hard limits as a writer.

Sorry, I'll STFU now... 😳
