lunabee34So I just finished The Ordeal of Richard Feverel by George Meredith (which I highly reccommend; it's a well told story) and I've caught up on fannish gossip with Sue and I'm thinking about reading some Snape fic, but before I do, I wanna talk to you guys. I miss y'all. I'm making myself crazy with this reading regimen. Like scary crazy. I'm a have the vapors eeeeeny second now.
So here is a talking point, gentle flist:
What keeps you reading a piece of fanfic despite a horrific abuse of the rules of punctuation and grammar or rampant OOC-ness or weepy!Ron who weeps and weeps all over the place? What sorts of things in fic keep you reading when you'd have backbuttoned out of another story? In other words, what are your bulletproof fanfic kinks (and I'm defining kink here as that which you can't resist, which satisfies you deeply, which you are drawn to, which gets you off in some way (not necessarily a sexual one))? What are your narrative kinks (ex. mpreg, epigraphs, lots of dialogue, aliens made them do it), your character kinks (ex. Inara has a secret, Giles is a closet fan of Blakes 7, Sam is jealous of Dean), your fanon kinks (ex. Buffy smells like vanilla, Xander's parents are abusive)?

Or a spouse: Ron and Snape falling in love after Harry dies, or Andromeda moving on after Ted and Tonks. Or better hurt/comfort stories (read: more realistic, but also totally melodramatic) about relationships surviving after a sexual assault. Like that Ron/Draco, in fact.
Yes, yes, a million times yes. Yes!
I do not remember that SGA fic. How can I not remember it?
You should be in Reboot. It would love to have you. I should write more Reboot. It was like a bright flare of interest that rapidly faded for me. Once I get this round of HP out of my system, that would be a good one to go back to.
