Smut Writers Support Group

“…somewhere along the way I made a thread on FFA with the silly alliterative title Smut Writers' Support Group to whine about the scene I was having trouble with/dispense advice because it is always easier to pep talk someone else's scene and somehow it caught on and now a thread I made is in the wiki?!?! TRULY I HAVE MADE IT IN FANDOM” —Nonnie, May 20, 2015
