parasailing anon: Not as wooden as me trying to write smut for that prompt, I promise!

(I'm not even anti-smut, but I need to approach it from a 'what would the characters do' angle, and trying to shoehorn in someone else's kinks does not work. This is why I don't do pairing exchanges.)

Also clearly you didn't grow up reading the kind of kids' books where Pa building a three-legged stool was the most exciting thing to happen all winter. Your loss.

Hey now, rude. I'm not casting aspersions on you for not writing smut; I wish my gen scenarios hung together better. And there was plenty of Laura Ingalls Wilder in my childhood. And the kind of Enid Blyton where they run away a lot. It just didn't stick.

I wasn't meaning to cast aspersions, sorry!

All good, I read "your loss" too snidely rather than with humor.

Hope you get a prompt that directly expresses enthusiasm for crafts and sports and personal pampering and other things you like to write, rather than that being the barest squeakable overlap between the porn they actually want and what you can write.
