Okay, Do You Know What I Really, Really Love About Kakashi/Sakura?

How easy writing smut is.

I mean, you have Kakashi, who is older (can't imagine he's not a virgin - like, my mind gets a 404 error when I try to envision that) and reads porn all the time.

And then you have Sakura, who is a practicing medic in a ninja village ("so... you got the sebon..... there.... by doing what?"), so she knows the ins and out of the human body very, very well. Plus in my head she reads racy yaoi manga she steals from Ino. And as a bonus, Sakura has that nice, vocal id running around her head.

It's SO NICE not to worry about people being polite during ...lovemaking (Hakkai x Yaone) or having to friggin DANCE to give the characters SOME CLUE as to what's going on (Katara x Zuko.)

With Kakashi x Sakura, it's straight to the racy, raunchy bits.

*knocks on wood, so as not to offend the smut gods*

On the subject, I find it very, very interesting that while the Hakkai that lives in my head... loves umeboshi, the Kakashi in my head is very, very.... good with his hands.

Smut used to make me more nervous. But then I had my run of writing Hakkai x Yaone in various and sundry ways, and then I was doing Yaone x Gojyo in various sundry ways, and that really helped me stop angsting about the smut itself.

(I mean, I still worry about how GOOD it is, and whether I'm being effective, and as I mentioned, writing for Zuko and Katara is harder than writing for Kakashi and Sakura.)

I bet Suki's *full* of creative stories and "insights", having a large group of girlfriends. I can imagine Katara and her giggling over boy stuff. It's almost too bad Suki didn't join them earlier, when there could have been time for her and Katara to be shown becoming friends.

I can imagine that writing smut for adults would be easier than writing smut for teenagers

I think it's easier to write 'in character' if they're adults... the easiest way to write smut for teens in a not-porny show (like ATLA) is to make it humorous or parody, which takes the characters into OOC territory. ...Except possibly Sokka and Suki in season 3, for which it might NOT be OOC....
