I'd agree except in my own experience it is definitely not just everybody loves porn. There's another factor or two that separates the porn I consider praise-worthy and the stuff I don't.
For example, in this fandom, there are characters I don't want to imagine with their clothes off, no matter what they're doing or who else might be naked with them.
I can enjoy plotty porn, very character study-ish porn, and PWP, but some porn is downright boring. So it can't just be a love of porn.
And you, amand_r, who wrote one of the most amazing stories I've ever read should see this. Anybody who read We Held Gold Dust in Our Hands and all they got out of it was that everybody had sex, would have really missed the boat. Maybe it doesn't seem worth talking about because writing porn isn't that difficut for you. But take a look around. There's enough porn written badly that I'm convinced that talking about what works and why wouldn't be a waste of time.
