gay sports romance structure example --
chapter 43: B gives J a BJ
chapter 44: J reacts to B's BJ but has anxiety
chapter 45: 2 weeks later, they qualified for the playoffs, but B still thinkin about that BJ, imagining J's BJ anxiety
chapter 46: J knows B knows that the BJ etc

I'm reading a lot of sports romance... alternating first person stuff is clearly easier to write (you can replay plot beats + use lots of rambling monologues) and match the jock mind space better... but yeah it can never match the genius of a free indirect discourse masterpiece (e.g. Austen, Woolf)

both have a handful of queer places (lol NZ) so basically equivalent imo

for us the decider was more the housing (a lot more in AKL) and weather (less windy, usually warmer in AKL) but imo just visit both and go with your gut

Are We in a β€˜Smut Renaissance’?

Sure, we're in a "smut renaissance," but maybe you've noticed we're also in a Christian Nationalist censorship regime that is trying to restrict the internet. (Might be worth mentioning!)

These aren't unrelated. As "hardcore" is demonized and erased, social acceptance of "softcore" rises.

do cosplayers at cons do big hotel orgies? I imagine it’s like the olympics. and doesn’t everyone want to fuck mario or toad or batman or something? or are the costumes too fragile and precious

working on more gay hockey game cutscenes. each character is actually made of clones that I toggle on/off, easier to pose / choreograph blocking like this #screenshotsaturday
