Swaps podcast

RoughSoftie on swaps:

I'm a big fan of swaps. I've done at least six, which includes many of my absolute favourite scripts I've written. This is because I'm also a big fan of tags, and my general method for writing swaps has been to take as many special requests and liked tags as possible and cram them together. I'm very much story-oriented in my writing, rather than emotions or characters - especially when I get started - so making a huge list of everything the recipient wants and then joining as many as I can is both a fun challenge and hugely satisfying.

After that I snoop in their history for details missing from the match info: Big stuff like what kind of sub they like - Brat? Adoring? Timid? - small stuff like body parts - Forearms? Shoulders? Veins? - and details like sex sounds - Growls? Whimpers? Laughing?.

Then I try to take my time and get a clear picture of what's going to happen. I try to find scattered moments to think about it throughout the day. Sometimes I've started writing two hours after getting the match, sometimes two weeks, but I never force it. That just doesn't work for me.

I also don't really edit my scripts much. I'll read it two or three times but that's about it. Analyzing it feels off, I need to be in the flow of the story.
