/report: Author Talk

[mklutz]

Sorry we're late! First Pru and the Hoyden were drinking their way through Spain and then MK had the death flu for about a week. Fail.

This week we talk about Fringe, The Good Wife, CSI NY, and The Mentalist, do a brief foray into your submissions for the Bad Fic Strong Like Ox challenge, and then move right on to the real meat - our very first Author Talk! We asked The Hoyden every question you sent us and made her answer them, whether she liked it or not.

Don't forget to follow us on twitter for further hilarity between episodes.

Fic recs, downloading and streaming can all be found here on our site!

I pretty much agree with the gratuitous porn argument--I don't read fic for the porn, and I've only read one or two fic in the last year that the sex scenes did anything sort of characterization building. Undoubtedly there are some fandoms where the characters have such massive sexual hangups that a sex scene would be really revealing or help move their characterization forward, but usually it's extraneous and unnecessary. So I skim.
