Comment on The Pansy Love Scene by mree
When I write, I am not afraid of violence in my books. Granted, I'm not actually very good yet at writing that short of thing so I try to work on my characters before I focus on the fighting. But I know that it can be used as tool to show the morals of the characters, but so can their relationship to sex.
I don't write sex really in my books, or at least I haven't so far. I mostly deal with the relationships between the characters, leading up to the deed itself. I really don't feel confident in my writing skills to actually write a love scene.
But I do know what you are talking about. I've seen it a lot in the books that I like to read. Lots of 'fading to black' scenes. I can honestly understand the want to do that, maybe they don't want to be attacked for their use of sex. But I do agree with you on the honesty. All books need more of it, in everything.
