I have really enjoyed some gen stuff, but part of the fun of fanfic is being able to play with stuff that could never really happen in canon because network television/the MPAA would never be down with the buttsex. Eliminating graphic sex seems strange, especially when such a high percentage of fanfic is rated NC-17... Hm...

And I totally understand about real life! Personally, my writing output has been down for the past six months or so because of RL stuff. I'm sure you'll get around to it some fine day when you're in the mood for PORN! ;)
