I thought about the 1st question you asked in your comment and then I wrote a scene that's 5k long. *headdesk* And no, sorry, no sexytimes in this story. It's purely a gen story, with the boys just being friends in a small town. :) and IT IS a cheap trick, using a sex scene to fill in the blanks, and I actually feel strong resistance towards that. Even when in a story (and you can totally tell) the sex is just used for some ''fill the blank spot'' I skip it and continue reading the next scene. It just cheapens the story. I'm sorry, I just have very strong feelings about using a sex scene just so that the empty spaces can be filled. :D :D Ignore me :)
Exactly, agree with you. In some stories you can actually pinpoint the exact scene that was written just because the author didn't know how to make the fic 20k (for BB). And then I'm like: ''really? was that necessary?'' because it totally ruined the flow of the story. I don't know ... *Sigh*
LOL, you're right; even if I don't reach 20k, I will still have a story that I could post on my own without BB being attached to it :)
Thank you for all your input!!! I appreciate it; a lot! :) thanks :)
