Just curious:  I've always been a fan of lemons, though I've never had the
nerve to write one myself.  Still, most lemons feature the characters
acting wildly OOC, essentially acting like porn stars.  I find lemons much
more enjoyable when the characters are acting like themselves, a difficult
trick, to be sure, when the writers intends them to have sex.***********

    I have to agree with this. a Lot of lemons out there seems like the script
for the next Urotsukidoji flick (Yes, I know they ended it. Pretty crapply, I
might add). However, I feel that there are some lemons that writers try to stay
in character, and try to resolve the romantic aspects of the series through
well plotted sex scenes ( of course, that would be difficult, considering plot
isn't that important a factor in sex scenes). I suppose good examples of this
would be 'Nothing Wrong with this Picture', for actually taking the time to
tell why Kusumi was sleeping with Ranma, 'Ranma .05', for tying to maintain the
flow of the original series, even with the introduction of sex, and a fic I
found on Mirai's World about Bulma and Vegeta. I believe it's called 'Lost
World One'.



Aikan Muyo! is one of my favorite lemons, and one of the most in-character.
 "Happosai" merely brings the sexual tension that already existed in the
OAVs to the surface.

Are there any other good examples?
