Question Arising from Recent Fanfic

[moon_custafer]

Do a lot of people, or at least a lot of fanfic writers/readers, consider humming particularly sexy, or something? There seems to be a convention of men humming seductively as they kiss somebody, or gaze into another’s eyes, or just pause in the conversation.

Maybe it’s not literal humming, maybe it means the character is saying “hmm,” or making some inarticulate sound that can’t be accurately conveyed as a grunt or a sigh?

No, I would find it distracting. I think of it more like "hmmm" along with the gasps, etc.

"Huffed a laugh" - Something I always think writers should do is try to do something they've written like, "You guys!" he laughed. Or he chuckled. You can't speak and laugh at exactly the same time, it's "he said, laughing".
