Coalie in Post-DeadlineLand

Coalie was beginning to get very tired of waiting for their gift to be posted, and of having nothing to shake: once or twice they had peeped into the tags of the fic their dentist had been gifted, but it had no characters or freeforms on it, "and what is the use of a fic," thought Coalie, "without ships or tags?"

I think that's porn with just enough plot to miss being a PWP. There's a reason for the sex besides just having sex. A lot depends on the fandom and the general tone of their requests, I think, and how sex magic figures into the material. Is it out of the blue or part of the canon and so could reasonably pop up, that type of thing.

Speaking as someone who's not wild about PWPs but who does like porn-heavy stories in certain fandoms, I'd read the fuck out of a potentially reluctant but necessary sex magic ritual. (In fact one of my prompts is similar enough that I hope you tag the sex magic part so I can find this in the collection!) Maybe my take is different but I see fuck-or-die, sex pollen and other tropes as porn with plot as long as there's a good enough set up and the second sentence isn't "Ope, that was a sex pollen spell, looks like we hafta fuck." The build is what elevates it and the emotions each person experiences over the situation, IMO

Yep, this. Agreed as a coalie with a similar DNW.

+ 1 from another person with a similar letter. It sounds like you have a plot, which is what I need to get invested in the pairing and their porn.
