Stroking Myself in Public
I just got the most amazing feedback on Shatter, and am going to indulge in a little bit of public masturbation, here:

OMG! thank you for the new chapter! The long detailed description of John's fantasy of being warmed and kissed by Sherlock is hot as fuck. I must have read it four times before I could go on. And Sherlock's first deduction to Lestrade and everyone was riveting. I loved John's responses esp. to the bondage talk. Thank you! Looking forward to more. Love this story.

"Hot as fuck." Oh, I aim to please. Sometimes I worry that I might be throwing in too much gratuitous sex (even if it's only imaginary), and then I get lovely feedback such as yours, and I figure I must be doing something right. Thank you!
I was going to say there is never too much gratuitous sex, but I've read stories where there was too many long, and I mean long, sex scenes that kept interrupting the riveting mystery they were solving. However, the writers were not good sex writers.
So I will say with your writing, you get it. You get the specific intimate details, and know intuitively when to stop and when to prolong. So with you I would say there is never too much. I've read all of your fics and you are consistent in making me moan and feel those sharp pains of desire knifing through my guts. You are just good at writing it. Having read hundreds of fics in the last few months, I'm still rather new at Johnlock, I can say you are definitely among the best. So please don't censor, please keep the sex coming. (pardon the pun)

Haha, yes, I've gotten bogged down in a few overwrought sex scenes myself.
Your compliment is just warming my heart: thank you so much. I always write exactly what it is that I want to read, and it's wonderful to know that it resonates for others as well: especially since it's rather out in left field. And sex can be hard (haha, another pun!), because you have to make sure it's not a laundry list of who put which hand where... hard to find the right balance between an accurate description, so the reader can envision what's happening, and emotional build-up. I'm glad it works for you. Yes, I'll keep the sex coming!! *snorts*
I was new to Johnlock (indeed, fanfic itself was new to me) last summer, and I remember the months of gobbling up fanfics, tens of them every day. What a glut! And how fun. Then I started writing, and I can't be quite as much of a consumer as I was. I'm VERY honored to be on your list of the best.
