Omg Heather this was one of my favorite pieces you ever wrote on Autostraddle!!! So glad to see it here again 😆 Anne’s Gumby hands on Diana’s boobs is an image that may never leave my brain!

This reminds me of the time I and a lesbian then-acquaintance conducted a small social experiment: we would both write a sex scene between Kirk and Spock in Star Trek with neither of us commenting on the other's work, post it, and see what happened.

Basically I got more views, because I included anal, and she got more likes, because she was far closer to the overwhelming fan fiction demographic of women in their twenties 🤣

I swear I reread my sex scenes so many times because it feels like one wrong verb choice and you end up in orgasm was immediate thunder territory.

This sent me and my theyfriend into tearful paroxysms (also like being beat by the ocean in a good way) and I am grateful for your service.

I am late to reading this and it is absolute genius. Trying to work out two people straddle each other at the same will be taking up a lot of my brain power for the next little while.

So brave, funny and sweet. I'm very happy for Jo March - that childhood idol of mine deserved to be rescued. 'Jo's Boy's' indeed - bloody rubbish!
