Ahahaha,

sweetnlow and I used to play-argue about that a lot. If I mentioned I wanted to write something porny or she asked me for some, I'd talk about how I needed to figure out how xyz happened before tab a met slot b. She'd tell me to just write the porn! and I'd tell her you can't just do that! They have to be in character, and even if there's no substantial plot, the porn can't just exist in a void!

I wish I could remember who it was a couple of years ago who wrote some meta advising writers to tag fic with sex scenes with all relevant kinks and sex acts therein. I was thinking about it again when I posted that kinkmeme fill, and I still think it's very good advice. I know I look for those kinds of tags on Mature and Explicit fics to see if they include any of my kinks or nopes, but it's one of those things I probably wouldn't have consciously utilized in my own posting if I hadn't read that.
