Writing Rambling

[beckyh2112]

I'm not actually home yet, just stealing the computer while everyone else watches a football game.

I think I'm burning out on Transformers smuttery. It's getting harder for me to be really interested in doing much beyond a bit of kissing/teasing then fade to black. I can get away with that for springkink, but there's a Tracks/Sunstreaker fic I owe that's hanging fire because I can't tackle the smut scene. (Then there's the Blitzwing/Catechism one that's all smut, and I just wind up staring at the file blankly whenever I open it.)

Looks like both of my upcoming Silverbolt springkink fics will be late, and I'd appreciate a beta-reader for both of them. One is Motormaster/Silverbolt, one is Silverbolt/Optimus Prime. The MotoBolt one is smutty, and I haven't finished the Bolt/Prime one enough to say if it's smutty also. MotoBolt needs to be checked for sanity (does what is happening make sense? am I blind to how not-sexy/gross/kumquat it is? do I really need all of these scenes?) and characterization (should Silverbolt be behaving that way? should Motormaster?). The Bolt/Prime will probably need the same thing, but again, need to finish it.

I'm going to need a beta-reader or two for the Tracks/Sunstreaker one, as well, but I'll post more details about that when it's actually finished. Charles, I'm probably going to grab you for this just to check on the battle scene.

Kep, I need to drag you aside to talk Age of Apocalypse Sabretooth and Wild Child when I get back to decent internet speeds.

Also, any volunteers to hit me if I try to take a prompt for the next springkink round? I really need to just stop for a round or two and concentrate on my own writing instead of stressing myself about both neglecting my own writing for springkink and not getting the springkink stories done on time.

So, no springkink for me next round unless there is a prompt that seems to be custom-tailored for my kinks and proclivities.

Actually, how's the Moto/Silver one end? How are they feeling towards each other?

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna read it, 'cause, well, OTP* . . . but it's how they deal afterwards that is the big deal.

*That might be the stupidest thing I've ever said, but it's true. Moth to fire, is me.

It ends with consensual sex, and Silverbolt pulling a nasty fast one on Motormaster. They both end up furious after all is said and done, though sexually sated. Which is how I'll segue into Wrath.

I've said for years that I don't want to write MotoBolt with a relationship built on rape, then when I sit down to try to write the 'romance' of them, I open with an attempted rape. DAMNIT, MOTORMASTER.

Ahhh, OK.

And they're eventually going to get together properly (sorta), or what?

They eventually are. I'm just not sure the exact details between the first two (Lust and Wrath), the next bunch, and the last one (Pride). But I want to build it from Motormaster's initial "want, take, have" and Silverbolt's initial "get the fuck away from me" to a believable equal and consensual sexual relationship.

Yes. Awesome!
