Reality Bites Smut Challenge
Every now and then, I get it in my head to write a fic based on some of the really poor bedroom experiences Iāve had, but it always gets put on the back burner (so many WIPs). Apparently, Iām not alone in this, so I decided to set it up as a challenge!
Sex in fan fiction is fantasy, and therefore so very different than sex in reality. I want us to write some really real smut here: the good, the bad, and the ugly, with an emphasis on the bad and the ugly. What Iām thinking of are those times when you both are really trying, but for whatever reason, it just isnāt working. (Not what we usually see in fics, where the reader is suffering through a one-night stand, isnātĀ really into it, and has no real investment in making it work.) In real life, we want it to work every time, and sometimes it just doesnāt. Sometimes, something funny happens, or someone miscalculates and gets injured, or your efforts to get there just donāt get you there. Thatās the kind of thing Iām looking for.
Make it funny, or painful, or embarrassing. Base it on personal experiences, but donāt tell us (or do, if youāre willing!), and give yourself a chance to let out that story about the blind date who really needed to see a doctor about that rash. Make it angsty, make it fluffy, do whatever your muse tells you to do! Just make the sex REAL. Iām hoping for broken condoms, miscommunications, and trouble with toys. I can imagine a lot of virginĀ fics coming out of this, too.
Do we need rules? Okay, fine. Here are some rules.
1. For the love of all things holy, if your fic is over 500 words, please use the Keep Reading feature!
2. Tag me in your fic if you want me to read it and add it to the masterpost I will create. You can also tag #Reality Bites Smut Challenge.
3. I would prefer no actor fics, and if everything was kept in the SPN fandom, as thatās what I enjoy, but I will reblog and add to the masterpost anything I see a tag for.
4. Reader inserts, ships, whatever are all welcome! (Like, maybe a character has a problem trying to get the job done by themselves? There wouldnāt be a pairing, but it would be a valid idea! Go for it!)
5. Deadline: How about the end of the month? Or later? Maybe next year? Meh. Take your time. Iām not even sure when Iāll get to write for this. Probably after Christmas. Letās keep this open-ended, then, shall we?
6. HAVE FUN. Really, donāt do it if it starts to feel like work.
Howās that for rules? Good enough? Cool. Then letās do this!
