Dear Americans,

[blamebrampton]

On the whole, I love you. I have long loved many of your countrymen, sometimes from afar as with Frank Capra and Katherine Hepburn, and sometimes from up close as with some very lucky young people in the 1980s and '90s.

I think your land is beautiful, your governments uniformly mad, your religious leaders alternately inspiring and depressing and your jazz miraculous.

But.

I would like to impose a rule on you all. If you cannot say the word penis, you may not handle, draw, write about or otherwise involve yourself with them. Babytalk derivatives do not count. Similarly, the F-bomb and C-bomb may no longer be. "That person used an expletive I am not comfortable with" or "Fuck me! She said cunt!" are your two options.

That is all, please go about your business.

With love,
Brammers

I could understand if they're very young, but still. If you can't say the word, you can't do the deed, etc. I cuss like the sailor I used to be and in public too. Not around small children though. But, I can sympathize, took me a long while to be able to write out sex scenes without fading to black and such. *hugs*

I think those are absolutely reasonable exceptions!

[Hangs head, I DO tend to fade out, mostly because sex is often too amusing to look at form the outside and there are enough jokes in my fics ...]

Psst! Fading out is perfectly acceptable. More than acceptable, it's (to me, anyway) frequently welcome, especially in fest season when zomg 300 sex scenes leave me glazed over and scanning to get back to the plot and hoping this wasn't a Sex Magick story where, damn, that orgasm was important.

HEEE! My fest fic was the first time that I wrote teeny tiny glimpses! But yes, too many prostates can leave me feeling like a proctologist , luckily most of my F-list write sex very well!
