Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me. :) I have no intention of stopping writing; it's too much a part of who I am.
You raise an interesting issue -- that of time, and how much people have of it to devote to reading -- fanfic or something else.
I'm honestly glad you're writing the more adult stuff again; there was a space of time where all of your 'fics were "appropriate" and I was secretly thinking "when is she going to write dirty stuff again?"
That made me laugh. Thanks for that. *g* There's a reason why I don't write what I consider a ton of sex. I don't mind writing it. It's a basic, normal activity that lots of humans engage in. But generally speaking, I'm not particularly interested in writing purely to titillate. Sex is a tremendously powerful and sometimes transformative thing, and I generally prefer to read and write about it when it says something about the characters. What it says doesn't have to be unbelievably profound, but I usually want more than "Insert tab A into slot B." So if I don't feel like the sex is saying something about the feelings and psychology of the characters, I usually won't write it.

I have no idea if that made sense.
