Dear Writers of Fiction,

Please stop using "cum" in your fics.

It looks bad and sounds even worse.

Sincerely,
Me

You know, I NEVER used to use "cum". And then someone who writes wonderful stuff got me to start using it - and I actually went through some of my fics to change it back from "cum" to come.

However - when I write ABSOLUTE FILTHY stuff? I use "cum". It is very gross. And sometimes necessary - if you're writing a loveless sex scene that's full of nasty debauchery.

But for the most part, yeah.

Cum is gross - in more ways than one.

rotf, you big liar. LMFAO!!! You don't like "cum". Neither do I, to be honest. Sometimes you're sitting there reading some lovely little bit of fluff, and suddenly, "He shot a load of hot cum across her belly." And boom, you're in Bow Chicka Wow Wow Land.

Lmao. "Consideration" my bootie. *grins*

I am. I was. I did. I am doing.

I just. If it's written well enough "come" will read just as good as "cum" would've and you don't feel ... like you've entered dirty cheap whorey porn land. Unless the fic is that, then sure. I guess it works
