I love Nicole's laugh! It's taking up so much space and it's a wonderful thing. I also love Jacques, with his polite Frenchitude and soft patience, smuggling in the occasional zinger. And Wes, who in my mind will always be an illegitimate little brother of Thor's who grew up on Earth oblivious to his heritage.

Ugh, yes, writing good smut does not come easily (pun intended). And it's so personal, too -- what one person finds appealing, another may find off-putting. If you don't mind sharing: what do you find the most difficult about writing it?
