I like the idea of a separate sex thread, because some of the scenes can be really drug out.  My only concern with that would be knowing "when" it happened in relation to the story.  If we could label the sex scenes in a specific way so that everyone would know who got rutted when, I would be happy to have them out of the way.  Playing it safe, though, I don't mind a flex-time thread.  I also like the planetside thread, but would want the same assurances of relative time.<br/><br/>I would like to go back to my earlier question, and maybe make it more general.  There are two days until we land on Shadow, but nowhere near enough RL time to RP all of the minor conversations that might take place.  Do you want to just do one "in the meantime" post saying things like "after working on the thruster, Lance went up to the Plantation (his nickname for the bridge) and checked with Keri to make sure it handled well.  He also made sure to remind her now nice she looked."<br/><br/>Granted, these type of interactions could be done in flex time threads as well, or they could just be assumed to always be happening and then, if important, referenced in a later post.  For example "as Serenity's shuttle took off, Lance reflected briefly on the conversation they'd had the previous day," putting the significant moments of the conversation in the current post as a mini flashback.  I kind of like this method for sex scenes as well, though I know some really enjoy reading those.
