    I hope some day, somebody writers a long sexfight novel with many dramatic elements.

    I once had this idea to write a novel about DWW wrestling women - how they were recruited, their life in DWW, centered around a love-hate relationship between two wrestlers and a sex trafficker villain who is trying to harm the women.
    Interesting Idea Kama ! Do it ! You have written some great sexfight stories among women here. You can do it.

Emotional moments, in my humble opinion, help to round out the personality of the character. But I don’t like when drama is so thick that it becomes melodrama.

    What we write here will not likely be given serious consideration in more traditional literary circles. Let’s face it, sexfight writing is pure niche.But that doesn’t mean we can’t, or don’t need to strive for good writing. I often wonder if any of us use this milieu as a skill sharpening exercise for other writing that they do.

    I like smart/intelligent wisecracking women who aren’t afraid to cry, as much as I like wisecracking women who aren’t afraid to talk smack while they bump and grind. An interesting story helps too.

    So, drama use is always up to the author. My only piece of advice would be “use it wisely.”

    Wise words by one of the top writers here !! I used bold fonts and/or different color to put emphasis what i liked more. Without to underestimate all the rest you wrote.

    I’m all done with finals but after the stressful week I’ve had, I just wanna take the weekend off for some R&R. On Monday, I’ll start my new story, Lusty Lives. It’s a bit of an unusual concept but I hope you’ll enjoy it
