So I'm working on a Peter/Susan fic for one of my auction winners, and though I love the idea and I'm having a lot of fun writing it so far, it's downright weird writing het. On the one hand, it's nice because I've always been better at writing from a female point of view. On the other hand...I'm just so damn used to slash. The chemistry of it's all different.

It's good for me as a writer, though. I mean, I love het. My all-time favorite OTP is het. I used to write it all the time. I still do in my original fic. Just...somewhere along the way, writing fic began to equal writing slash.

Still, I adore this pairing, and it's angsty and kinky enough to keep me VERY interested. Plus it takes place in between LWW and PC, and so I can reference all sorts of fun stuff from the undescribed-by-canon period when they were ruling in Narnia - which I've totally always wanted to explore more.

This is why I need people to prompt me more often - it breaks me out of my usual rut, and I'm always happy when I realize that there's so much more out there.

Then I prompt you to write me some good dirty het stories >:D

That's not a prompt! A prompt has a pairing and a situation - or at the very least, a fandom! :-P

Fine then, Iron Man and make it filthy! haha I figured the icon would be inspiration enough.

We should go if you don't have to work today.

I work at 5:30, and I'll probably sleep until close to then because I haven't been to bed yet. But yes, soon!
