3,000 words written! I didn’t realise it’d been that many. Today I finally got the pilot out of the mech and mostly disconnected from it! This part is not sexy at all. When I’m done with this scene I can switch POVs to the pilot and that will be fun and incredibly weird, so I’m looking forward to it

Thinking about this some more I think the combat role my character is best suited to temperamentally is some sort of heavy close-range brawler. But that’s largely because she’s used to being expendable and having a handler to provide tactical command and control.

Hello, mech heads! I’m trying to build out the lineup of mechs in this story and find myself going “uhhh”. Like, I’ve got the midrange mass-produced model, the big fancy boy, the EWACs girlie, the scout, Mr Laser Light Show … what roles am I missing?

1,500 words written. Sex scenes are like fight scenes, they’re hard to do right and if you get them wrong it’s just a bunch of pointless thrusting back and forth. I am by no means an expert but I don’t think I dishonoured my ancestors terribly. Except the ones who were Anglican priests I guess.

The pilot: Haha I am so clever, I’ve successfully tricked this random civilian into becoming my my handler. She’s so sweet and cute! The civilian: Oh god oh god this is an ethical nightmare and I’m a monster.

1200 words written of this mechsploitation story! One of the characters has actually achieved orgasm, I’m a real pornographer now! Another character has attempted to get in the mood by channelling a cartoon villainess. A cyborg has been inadvertently given a praise kink by mucking about in her code.

Mech pilot: “You seem confused, so here’s a video of a previous handler demonstrating how to use the onboard behavioural reinforcement and training system.” Random salvager, who was not expecting any of this when she picked up a wrecked mech: “That is NOT safe, sane, or consensual.”

Listening to vaporwave to get in the proper mood to write this thing. “Go kiss your murderous cyborg combat fuckdoll goodnight and we’ll take a can opener to her in the morning.”

Quite literally the reason most of us are here - the robust muting and blocking tools. This isn't about being in an "echo chamber", it's that this is NOT my fucking job and NOT my fucking duty to be here. This is RECREATION. I don't want to deal with bullies and assholes while having fun.
