Okay, so I wrote a fan fiction.
It's not my first. Matt and I worked together on two, one a
Quantum Leap story that we never finished, the other one a
Star Trek: Voyager piece (it was all a dream). However, writing slash fiction is new, and an experiment I'm hesitant about. I've written love scenes before, beautiful collisions of passion, but never something wild, brutal, and... never gay.
Maybe because I'm not a man, so I don't fully understand the "sweet mystery of life" as it pertains to the hairier sex, and I'm not into girls, but... I just never bothered writing homosexual love scenes before. Heck, I once wrote a love scene between a human female and an alien who got his kinks having his ear licked, but never two people of the same sex. Such a deprivation in my repertoire had to be corrected. What better venue than the mired bog of Fanfiction.net!
This was indeed a challenge, a way to open myself up as a writer, expand that sanitary attic of my mind, and tackle the bareback boundaries of the bedroom. I picked a manga ripe with homoerotic overtones:
One Piece. Face it, even the artist plays around with the idea that Zoro and Sanji would make a great gay couple.
In fan fiction circles, this running gag has become reality. I read some of this stuff (as with all fan fiction, 10% is decent, 90% is a mawkish excuse for cheap porn). It's funny how
utterly certain the fanfic community is about Sanji and Zoro's relationship. And not just them. The two women aboard the
Thousand Sunny are, of course, made into slutty pirates who will do anyone in anyway and in anyplace, although the crow's nest seems to be preferable. The whole ship is seething with potential orgies.
Before you gawk and scream "OMG, how could you even
think to write such smut?!?" please be warned, this is an experiment. I've done writing experiments in the past. This is like an artist who paints nudes purely to gain a better appreciation for the human body. Perhaps they are personally uncomfortable with nudity, but it can be artistic, too.
My goal was to write a homosexual love scene and keep it artistic while still being raw and... fulfilling, for lack of a better word. I wanted more than "yo, Sanji, love hotel, let's do it" followed by page after page of way-too-textbook lovemaking and 70s porno dialog of moans. I wanted angst, passion, memories flashing through the mind, regret, awkwardness... everything writers tend to leave out in fanfics.
So... here we go!
Memories in a Bubble - a
One Piece erotica fanfic (note, I have moved the story to a new location after a certain cousin was traumatized, so this version was posted much later than 12/5/2010)
