As well as identifying as demi, I know I’m towards the aro side of things too. A lot of romantic gestures make me feel awkward and uncomfortable in RL. My SO and I have a weekly date night for his benefit, but he’s done a lot to ensure that it’s quite low key so it doesn’t make me feel uncomfortable. I get what many romantic acts and gestures are but much of it really does make me shudder.

I feel ya. I’m aro but I didn’t know that was an actual thing until about a year ago. It might’ve made my last relationship better if I would have understood that and my fiance wouldn’t’ve felt like I didn’t want to with him because cuddling and PDA and romantic gestures make me super uncomfortable. 

It;s good though that your SO keeps it lowkey and helps you be more comfortable. 

Like you, if it’s a plot point I get it, and I can read it. However, IRL I’m useless. I can never tell if I’m flirting or being flirted with unless I’ve been drinking. Then I know I’m flirting (because I am super obvious and my flirting is like “you have pretty eyes and I think you’re super hot”).

What happens when five alphas are in a room too long… My guess is you weren’t thinking sex, but that’s where my brain went 😛

Oh my god, you’re terrible. Maybe like…three of them would… maybe.

*cough* welllll Sam said he doesn’t like taking a knot all the time. Maybe Cas is the kind of Alpha who would let Sam top him? Cas could dominate him from the bottom, maybe 😉 oh wait. You probably aren’t talking about sexy stuff, heh. I hear you though! If you didn’t want to go into big bang territory your hands were kinda tied. Also, yeah, it was a bit fluffy. Seems to happen pretty easily with sastiel, though.

It’s funny you mention that because that’s exactly the kind of thing I was thinking of for a time stamp sex scene. Great minds think alike, I suppose. 🙂 

Sastiel is one of those ships that just lends itself to fluff tbh. Something about Sam who thinks he’s so flawed and impure and this pure being who loves him regardless and will let him vent but knows none of that is true just…. yeah it gets into sappy, feelsy, lovey stuff. Something about kindred spirits and all that.

I love reading romance, but have a hard time writing it. I tend to be bored by strictly-romantic plots and prefer fics where other things are also happening. Those are the stories I try to write, and so I tend to get distracted by all the other stuff and neglect the romance.

That makes total sense. Like, obviously, I adore shippy fic but I love conflict that doesn’t have to do with the romance. Give me a murder mystery or an action adventure or interpersonal drama anyday of the week and I will eat it up. (My favorite published books are not romances but I’ve been known to read them every once in a while.)  I’ll still read stuff with romance at the center, but I cannot write that very well. 

But I definitely don’t think there’s anything wrong with putting romance in the secondary plot. I think it’s more fun, personally.

Learning Curve is one of those fics that definitely made me want more. I wanted more of the “after” they were together, ya know? Not necessarily sex, but intimacy in general.

I can see that. I think I just didn’t know what to do with it because it was pretty fluffy and I was approaching the bb word minimum and I didn’t want to go over and into bb territory. But it’s part of the reason I want to revisit the verse. Give Sam and Cas more couple time and see what happens when you put five alphas in the same room for too long. 

samanddeaninpanties replied to your post: Sometimes I write a fic and the first time I read…

*whispers* what fic are you re-reading? I’m nosy. Also: me too!!

I was looking over Under the Surface but then I checked Learning Curve and I realized there is some seriously anti-climactic pay-offs going on here. Like, wow. I really can’t write romantic scenes, can I? Hell, Some Things Last is better but it’s still… just talking. 

My aro is showing, I guess.

Welp. I completely lost one file I was working on. Awesome. 

@unforth-ninawaters
Yeah. It was my fault cause I had half a million tabs open but stil. It’s annoying. 

@samanddeaninpanties
I’ve used docs before but I kinda hate it. It’s useful for sharing with betas and stuff but I don’t like it. I dunno why. There’s no good reason for me to hate it, I just do. 

@samanddeaninpanties
😛 You say weird like it’s a bad thing, lol. I know I’m odd, I take great pride in that.

Drop box is great. I used to use that for sharing class notes in my giant history classes all the time. I don’t much anymore but maybe I should try it again. Usually I use the microsoft onedrive cloud. Microsoft has it’s issues, but it’s convenient. If I can’t take my laptop places I can take my tablet so I’ve definitely used it to get writing done in doctors offices from time to time. It wouldn’t hurt to save stuff in the drop box, too though. I’d probably lose fewer files. 

I’m starting to migrate over to Dropbox and LibreOffice for most of my fic writing needs.

I often have connection issues with Google Drive on desktop, and I’m already paying for a Dropbox so that all my photos are backed up.

Also switched to Linux Mint for main writing PC and Dropbox is available for the OS.

I don’t think I’ve tried LibreOffice. I know I downloaded another program in the past, (on a different computer) but it was difficult for me to use. (I don’t remeber what it was called.) I tend to get headaches if I stare at a white screen for too long, and the program I used didn’t allow me to change the color of the papre. I know it’s a super minor thing, but I like what I like. 

Definitely willing to try LibreOffice, though.
