Thanks in turn, for your thoughtful comment! It's really interesting to get another asexual fic-writer's perspective.
It's not that the couples have a sexless relationship, but rather that it's entirely off-page, like you tend to get in older books or movies.
Yes, I definitely want to learn to give myself permission to do more of that! (Although, in my case, I'm still okay with writing a sex scene if the sex is changing something in the relationship; I just don't want to bother writing it if it's just part of the characters' ongoing healthy relationship, because while that's perhaps fun for the people participating, it's not fun for me to read or write.)
fic is a hobby that I do for fun, so why put in stuff I know won't be fun to write or to re-read later?

Exactly!
