Some people inherently dislike PWP (i.e. Porn Without Plot, also Plot? What Plot?). I do not believe thatPWP is inherently a bad formof writing. It is a fact that most PWP are badly written, but then isn't 90% of fanfiction so?
Thereis nothing inherently wrong with writing PWP. I think where the problems really start is when such a story present the characters acting in a fashion that is OOC (Out Of Character) without any attempt at an explanation. A self-acknowledged, but well written PWP with a realistic lead up is no worse a story as any other self-contained one-shot story.
A one shot might aim at making the reader cry, feel fluffy, laugh or feel sorry for the character. A PWP is simply a one-shot that aims at satisfying the reader's lusty instincts, and should not be shot down just because it lacks a deeply involved plot.
