Fandom Poll: PWP versus Plot

[themostepotente]

Been thinking a lot about the two. There are ticky boxes to behold. Wheee!

It does dull over time. I think that's the point of my little missive. I see a PWP, and I run screaming in the other direction.

I've done a PWP, back in April. Someone wanted a story for one of the April Showers drawings (in lupin_snape, and since I had things I should have been doing, I spent that morning and a bit of afternoon writing my first PWP. One of the responses said that it had more plot than many people's regular stories.

Well, I had to get them into that situation, I couldn't just start it there and write sex. Bo-ring! So plot came into it. While I'm proud that it had plot, I guess it makes it unsuccessful as PWP. Unsurprisingly, since I spent perhaps four or five hours on it, it got more response than anything else I've ever written. I know it's because it was on that group, but to spend six weeks on something and have it on a community where there are no ways to respond short of e-mailing the author, it was weird to have all this commentary.

I used to run from PWP just because it was PWP, but now I'll consider who wrote it first. I'll read yours, for example, because I like your writing.

Aww, thank you!

Problem is, I don't write much PWP.

If you did write PWP, I'd read it. :p~~~~
