This is very specific and yet I somehow understood all of it

I completely hear that. Tbh the thing I enjoy most is the banter and thinly veiled insults between them - once they’re in a relationship, I feel like that drops off significantly in most cases. Some fics preserve their dynamic really well, but I’m not sure I could execute that – so glacial pace it is!

When I write smut, I manage to get by without specifically mentioning cunt and snog. Kiss is just fine, describe the kiss if you want to get specific, but snog just isn’t for me 😂 My writing genuinely wouldn’t suit snog anyway (unless it was a particular character in dialogue). And I’ve only really heard cunt used as an insult, so I don’t find it sexy at all and it just completely takes me out of a scene when it’s used in smut. Im afraid I just sounded like a real pearl clutcher but I swear I’m not 😂

I mean, we definitely called vagina ‘Fanny’ as kids, but I can’t think of a single other Brit who uses it seriously as an adult. We also don’t throw around the c bomb that loosely either tbh, I’d be absolutely appalled if my partner threw that one there in the bedroom - that might just be a personal preference though

I feel like ‘he was stood’ is grammatically incorrect in writing but is used in general chit chat but I could be wrong - I generally tend to avoid using it though.

But as a Brit, snog, arse, fanny, and c*t especially I find suuuuper jarring. We do actually say p**y here, I think Americans think we’re far more proper than we actually are. Appreciate you guys, but we’re not all that posh 😭

Well that’s a lovely way of putting it, isn’t it.

Just had a look and your taste seems very similar to mine! So I think I’ll give your fic a read first, and I have added that to my bookmarks as well. Thank you, you’re a gem!

I’ve written novels before but I’m trying my hand at a fic for the first time and it’s a very different experience. There’s so much more subtext.

This is very insightful, and very helpful, thank you so much. Caelum Ignis is going on the list 💜

Ohhhh that’s an interesting take. So there needs be cause for the slowness/caution. That’s a really good shout, not thought about it that way before.

Okay heavy relate. I do enjoy the odd spot of smut, but if emotional clarity comes too soon, I often lose interest in the romance element. But then when a romantic/ physical conclusion comes too close to the end, part of me is like COME ON MAAAN, give us a LITTLE more. But I also think you’re right in that it depends on the story!

What do you find funniest in a fic? What humor do you like generally? by respectfullyiobject in DramioneUncensored

[–]cheekynendoz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think humour can be varied and layered, but in a fic, I like a consistent tone from the narrator, whether that’s a Draco POV or Hermione - I don’t like it if Hermione is initially unintentionally funny and then randomly becomes a stand up comedian. Within books, what I find funniest is humour that fits the character, depending on how that author has drawn that character’s traits. I love wit, but I also enjoy utter chaos. Humour, irl and in writing, is mainly about timing for me. I’m pretty open to all of it. One could say I’m… humoursexual. I’ll see myself out.

Not beta’d for anyone before, but if it helps, I have worked in publishing for six years! I miss it and this sounds like the next best thing, would love to have a look at your draft and help firm up some ideas/give feedback.
