"Though, my half-baked theory that the more plot = the less comments seems... pretty correct, actually. Hahaha...haaah... <-- somewhat exhausted laughter because I heart feedback but omg writing porn is GRUELLING."

gah, I hadn't even thought about this, but I think you are absolutely right. I'm still new enough to both the writing of the stuff and the community that I just go squee for any and all comments so hadn't even thought about beyond "comments! Shiny!" or you know... "no comments, :(" lol

and oh my gods thank you for saying writing porn is hard because it makes my head explode to do it, but I read your stuff and it comes across as effortless. And I knew already that it wasn't but it soothes something in my soul to know that I'm not crazy when I want to smash my head against the wall working on this stuff. - so... er.. thanks.
