You've suddenly found out that the only way for a character to escape from the bad guy team is to have sex with the head bad guy?

I swear, I've been puzzling this out in my main WIP that isn't supposed to actually have sex in it at all, and then I'm in the shower and it hits me like yaoi paddle to the hind-end.

So what do I do? I was thinking that I'd write the scene in a seperate doc just in case I could work out something else, but the more I think about the idea...the more I actually like it.

The only problem is that possibly - this would be the only time it happened between said characters. I don't see it happening again in the book but...I dunno...I am now really excited to keep writing.

If that's what happens, then follow your characters and write it down.

Yeah, I think that's what I am going to do. It just seems very odd to me that it'd warp on me like that all of a sudden.

If this sudden shift in storyline excites you then definitely go with it. The chances are it will do the same for your readers :)

I love shagging the villain.

I'd say the issue here is whether it's in character for your good character and bad character to do this. Is there some attraction between them that's been established? Chemistry that both are denying? I can't say whether it's the right or wrong thing to do without knowing more about the story or the specific situation. I can say that without a foundation, it will seem like you just put it in there to put it there. With some basis, some groundwork, it should be fine.
