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 I’ve had, but it always gets put on the back burner (so many WIPs). Apparently, I’m 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 I’m thinking of are those times when you both are really trying, but for whatever reason, it just isn’t working. (Not what we usually see in fics, where the reader is suffering through a one-night stand, isn’t 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 doesn’t. Sometimes, something funny happens, or someone miscalculates and gets injured, or your efforts to get there just don’t get you there. That’s the kind of thing I’m looking for.
Make it funny, or painful, or embarrassing. Base it on personal experiences, but don’t tell us (or do, if you’re 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. I’m hoping for broken condoms, miscommunications, and trouble with toys. I can imagine a lot of virgin fics coming out of this, too.
Rules:
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 that’s 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 wouldn’t 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. I’m not even sure when I’ll get to write for this. Probably after Christmas. Let’s keep this open-ended, then, shall we?
6. HAVE FUN. Really, don’t do it if it starts to feel like work.
How’s that for rules? Good enough? Cool. Then let’s do this!
