Clumsily posting this week's #EroticMusingsQ on my mobile, since I'm away from home.

#EroticMusings 61. PoV (any character) What do you excel at at in the bedroom? What just isn't your thing?

ALT

It's that time of the year when Americans mix chai spices and pumpkin soup with their coffee in a blatant attempt to anger God. Time for our first #EroticMusingsQ of the spooky season!

#EroticMusings 71. Have you ever created characters with desire that persisted beyond death?

ALT

Sorry! Sorry! Literally the 11th hour, but here's this week's #EroticMusingsQ

#EroticMusings 64: Share a work in progress that demonstrates something about the way you work, which might not be obvious from seeing the completed work.

And a short form:
#EroticMusings 64s: Share a WIP showing your process that can't be seen in the completed work.

ALT

Well will you look at that? It's Sunday again - time for a new #EroticMusingsQ!

#EroticMusings 58. PoV (any character): Describe your first time.

(Based on Penned Possibilities 6. MC POV: Describe your first kiss.)

ALT

This week's #PennedPossibilities-inspired #EroticMusingsQ makes me realise that even though I have a settings category, I seldom ask questions about props or even scenes.

#EroticMusings 59. PoV (any character) Name three erotic things that you have in your bedroom.

ALT

Bleh. Sleep cycle is a mess and I'm still up at 6am, so I might as well post this week's #EroticMusingsQ

#EroticMusings 60. PoV (any character) What's is the dirtiest thing you've ever said, or heard?

ALT

I got very wordy with this week's #EroticMusingsQ, so there's a short form for those of us with tight character limits:

#EroticMusings 62. Do power imbalances exist within the romantic or sexual relationships between your characters? Is this a challenge for you? Does it present unique opportunities?

Short form:
#EroticMusings 62s. Do power imbalances exist between your characters? Challenges? Unique opportunities?

ALT

A bright and early #EroticMusingsQ for you!

#EroticMusings 67. What's something in your workplace (other than the essential tools) which helps you create?

ALT

This week's #EroticMusingsQ is one of those ones where the answer might just be "no" for some people, sorry! But I'm hoping that even if your work is set in our world, you might have a fictional subculture to talk about.

#EroticMusings 63: Do you create cultures, ethnicities, or even sentient species for your work? How do you go about it?

ALT

This week's #EroticMusingsQ is a PoV (Point of View) question. Answer it from the perspective of any character you like, major or minor.

#EroticMusings 68. PoV (any character) What's your biggest romantic turn-on? What's your biggest sexual turn-off?

ALT

Here it is, here it be, another #EroticMusingsQ for ye.

#EroticMusings 65: Is your creative space tidy or chaotic? Is that important, or just how it is?

Fun fact: "ye" and "you" are archaic words meaning "y'all".
Less fun fact: The correct one to use back there was "you" (ye is to you as I is to me) but it didn't rhyme.

ALT

How's your blood sugar? Ready for another #EroticMusingsQ?

#EroticMusings 73. Does your setting include sex magic, lustful rituals, or horny technology? Share an example!

ALT

Last #EroticMusingsQ of August! (I'm glad I went on a big question-writing bender a few months back and already have September ready, because I don't have that in me, right now.)

#EroticMusings 66: How would your characters feel about the way eroticism is perceived in your own culture?

ALT

I feel like I really missed the opportunity to do themed #EroticMusingsQ's with numbers like 34 and 69. Ah well.

#EroticMusings 69. Have you ever been inspired by your own work to create something different? (e.g. created a spinoff or a sequel that wasn’t originally planned.)

(A long one with no alternate form, this week, but if you've got a tight character limit, you might want to leave off the parenthesis)

ALT

By some spooky dark magic (a.k.a. the perfectly normal passage of time) it's already time for the last #EroticMusingsQ of Oddtober?!

#EroticMusings 74. Do you invite the unknowable into your process? Do you seek guidance in dreams? Do you draw cards or throw dice to decide your characters' fates?

ALT

You would think that losing the War on Drugs would have taught America not to declare war on abstract concepts, but they really leaned in. Anyhow, here's a new #EroticMusingsQ!

#EroticMusings 75. Did you listen when Nancy told you "Just Say No", or do drugs play a role in your erotic works?

ALT

Another Sunday, another #EroticMusingsQ

#EroticMusings 72. Are the supernatural elements (both tangible and matters of faith) within your erotica drawn from the real world? Do any particular cultures inform your work more than others? Why?

(I've decided to stop coming up with short forms for long questions like this. I've noticed nobody uses them, and people tend alter the question format to meet their preferences anyway, so I figure people who need a short form will just make their own.)
