Oh sweet English language. How I love you.
Your word choice is trash and you know it.
I know it, you know it, we all know it.
I have had SO MANY times where I look at a word I use, a phrase, all that, and just want to die. Hell, happens when I am writing this. Would you believe I find the word "moist" incredibly hot? Well apparently 10 - 20% of our population do not agree with me.
Listen, it is either we hate our word choice, or other people do. We can not stop them. However, we can make it slightly better.
Use said. Okay? Use it. It is there for a reason. I HIGHLY advise using other words, but you really can use said. Nobody but your core teacher cares.
On that note, let us go over some words.
Reaction words. "Moan" is like the and of smut. But you can spice it up a bit. "He moaned quietly, gritting through hit teeth." Or something like that.
Trust me, I have a whole list for reference. I am, authors are not, nobody, is a god at writing. We all reference.
A few reaction words can be jerks, shuddered, swallowing hard, and knees buckling are all great ones. Why? They are descriptive.
If I were to give you the line, "She moaned as the girl bellow her ate her out." How would you alter it? Well, here is a good way:
"She moaned softly, gripping the sheet till her knuckles went white. Rolling her hips gently, she looked down at the girl bellow, eagerly lapping her jucies up."
Yippee, I made it much, much hotter? Well, it's obvious, words. Both doujins and fanfiction have their ups and down, well, a thing you should always take advantage of is description. You want to convey how the reserving, giving, or both, character(s) are feeling.
The words I used in that example were softly, gripping, gently, eagerly, amd lapping. They add character and a scene to the readers mind.
Let us do an orgasm scene, okay? Bare with me. The simple line I will give myself is, "He felt himself growing closer, before releasing inside the women."
Here is the better version:
"Feeling himself starting to dip closer and closer, his mucles tighted as he trusted. His hips started getting tired, and he was at his limit. With a few slow, final thrusts, he felt a bit dizzy as he came inside of the women."
For the record, yes, I am looking at my references for this. This was a simple way to paint a MUCH better scene.
To make your smut go from good to great, word choice is KEY.
