You Ruined Porn Forever

[unavoidedcrisis]

So when I'm reading fic, but especially when I am reading a sex scene, the number one thing that ruins it for me is one tiny little typo. There are probably a hundred things that make it awkward for me, but the top of the list thing is seeing the word 'me' in dialogue when the writer meant to write 'my'. It just sounds so ... Scottish? Jamaican? Hilarious?

Writing in any sort of dialect weirds me out. I can usually hear it in my head, I don't need to read it on paper. Especially if the character is not Scottish or Jamaican. It is not sexy for me. It gives me a bad case of the giggles. I know it's a common typo. I do it sometimes. Cue the giggles.

In other 'porn is ruined forever' news, I tried my hand at some things for Porn Battle Ten this past week. I apologize sincerely.

So that's what I've been doing. Still not comfortable writing smut. I feel like a tiny awkward human when I try.

We officially adopted Abby yesterday. She makes a lot of noise by just existing. She's also twice as big as I remember her.

Watched all of the cartoon series 'Archer' with Katie the day before last. It's kind of the most hilarious thing ever. I mean, it's terribly crude and vaguely offensive, but let's be honest, I have bad taste. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Ooooh, pretty porn to read later :D

I actually say 'me' instead of 'my' a lot. Also 'us' instead of 'we', I guess it's just a local slang thing (I live in North East England.)

AHAHAHA~ I think it's so funny but I don't mind so much if it's meant to be like that for accents and whatnot XD It also happens the other way around XD I recently wrote a rant at a community and, originally, I had written "my bestie" and then thought it sounded weird so I changed "bestie" to "Caitlin" (my best friend's name) and...I left it that way and forgot about it. It ended up saying "my Caitlin" everywhere XDDDDD
