misslj_authorDay Sixteen: Do you write romantic relationships? How do you do with those, and how “far” are you willing to go in your writing?
Yes, is the short answer. The majority of my writing is m/m erotica and I have no problems with going to a NC17 rating. I'm comfortable writing graphic erotica and fading-to-black erotica. Having said this, most of the original fiction I've written has fallen into the latter category. I believe only Broken Wings has graphic erotica in it, the other pieces don't. This isn't due to a mild version of clutching my pearls or anything, it's simply a case of graphic erotica not fitting into the narrative. If it doesn't fit, then I don't see the need to force it. The Order of Shadows for example is heavy on the UST but contains no obvious romance whatsoever.
In short, yes I do write romantic relationships. I find them reasonably easy to write and if the story calls for it, I have no problems with writing graphic sex scenes.
