It's time for some more sex scene silliness, but there is actually some educational value here.
The Setup: Write a sex scene. Can be M/M, M/F, F/F, M/F/M, M/M/M/M/F/M/M/?/F, whatever you want. Anything can happen. The mood can be whatever you like. Aim for about 1,500 words, but more or less is fine. The only requirement is that it's a sex scene.
The Challenge: Use as many ADVERBS as humanly possible. However, there are some rules...
1. You can't use the same adverb twice.
2. The adverb must be completely inappropriate for the verb. Okay, maybe not inappropriate, but it should be ridiculous enough to dramatically alter the image you're conveying to the reader. Like, make it come across completely differently than it would have without the adverb:
Ex:
We drank.
We drank slyly.
It can be because it's impossible (shouted silently), ridiculous (ran sensuously), just plain weird (slept wildly), or whatever, but be creative.
The Purpose: Adverbs are your friend. Learn to use them when they serve a purpose...when the image/sentence wouldn't be the same (or as powerful) without them. You'll also simultaneously see just how cumbersome prose can be when it's laden with too many adverbs.
Be silly, have fun, and learn to use thy adverbs wisely.
