    Summary

    If you already write smut, this guide is not for you.

    And why yes, I do teach sex ed sometimes.  You’re going to wonder.

    So, you want to write smut.  But you don’t feel smutty.  Maybe you’ve never personally felt smutty.  Maybe the smut words won’t happen.  Maybe it’s performance anxiety.  Maybe it’s meds.  Maybe it’s stress.  Maybe it’s WORDS about SEX on the INTERNET, and you CANNOT.

    But your story needs smut, and that’s valid.  Maybe your plot hinges on it.  Maybe you just want to reward your characters with some nice, juicy orgasms.  Maybe you want the explicit rating because you know people like explicit content, and you want to learn a new skill as a writer.  All valid.  

    So, we like to outline our stories.  Can we outline the sex scenes?  Yeah, kinda!

    Summary

    Las Vegas, 1977: A saxophonist in a band dies of cyanide poisoning. Lieutenant Columbo, having been brought to the city to see the performance by his wife, sees the ordeal and starts sniffing around and asking questions.

    The only problem is that the killer has just been whisked away to the future, leaving a time travelling imposter in his place. Will Doctor Sam Beckett be able to help him work the case, or will his presence completely throw off Columbo's well-honed instincts?

    Summary

    Sequel to Chasing Ghosts. Contains major spoilers for that story, so don't read this until you've read that first.

    Sam finds himself in a strange predicament when he leaps into a 2023 Addison, and must be Ben's hologram. Meanwhile, Ian, who knows his secret, must in turn play observer to him. But Sam's old foes could be around every corner, and he and Ian don't know who they can trust.

    Sam discovers the truth about Addison's mother, and Ben seizes an opportunity that creates a dramatic change. And that's just the first half.

    (Takes place in an alternate season 2 where there was no time skip and Ben and Addison are still betrothed.)

    Summary

    Murphy Clarke is a genius inventor who doesn't interview well.

    Apollo Mathers is the family screw-up, who most say will never realise his potential as a witch.

    Together, they're roommates who drive each other nuts.

    But somehow, they're more than that. Two very different people, from two very different worlds, may not be so useless after all... if they join forces.

    Magic and science, achieving a synergy that nobody saw coming, and some people would call heretical.

    People like Apollo's sister Diana.

    An original work I was originally going to write for NaNoWriMo last year but I ended up writing fanfic instead. But now I'm ready! I have a full, detailed plot outline, it's just a matter of getting it on paper.
