Argh! I cannot *believe* some "writers".



I've been reading some Buffy fan fic that is sort of linked to the "Naked in school" universe.

The author's spelling and grammar weren't too bad. I've managed to enjoy *far* worse.

I started to get a bit bugged when he specified a group of 10 people involved in "the Program". I could understand not naming all of them. But then he had someone in public refer to three of them by name during an introduction and then not name the others (trust me, the way he did it was such that this just *didn't* work).

And there were other things. But what led to this rant was when he has one girl ask another is she can give her a *blow job*. No, I'm not kidding.

And only a couple paragraphs later he has another pair of girls going at it and refers to one as *fellating* the other!!!!

Look, if you are gonna write porn, especially porn involving a gender or orientation other than your own, do a bit of reading and research so you don't make a fool of yourself and insult your readers' intelligence.

Another thing, so far I have yet to see any evidence that the writer knows anything about female genitalia either. Well, he seems to know that there's a hole down there.

Peeve of mine:

Unless the submissive one has been in the fisting scene for years, you are so not just ramming a hard cock up them with no lube and thinking anyone'd enjoy that. Hell, that would chafe the guy on top.

In fact, it would be more likely to get screams of pain then pleasure. That's sensitive territory, and 6" feels like 6' when its YOUR ass...

Well, you've read my rant about porn writers who don't do their research. Ruins the mood entirely. Now that I find myself actually *writing* the damn stuff (Beatles slash), I'm very wary of crossing that same line, never actually having been a gay man. I think I'm doing okay, but mostly by not venturing into too much detail. Much easier to suggest by judicious use of adjectives :-)

(My addition) Another character says to the narrator, "Dude, those aren't chicks. They're FELLATING each other! Those are known as chicks with dicks. AKA she-males."

And technically, for the flow of the title, it should have been "Rantity rant rant rant." Groups of three always sound better than groups of two. :-)

But yeah, that is a MAJOR messup!
