I'm really enjoying the prospect of a Baltar/Starbuck/Six threesome.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What about a Baltar/Starbuck/Six/Lee foursome?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Too many limbs.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Tom has hit on a capital idea! We have textual proof that loss of a limb increases the sex appeal of a character by leaps and bounds. We should initiate a working group to study how best to implement amputation while avoiding the Potential Woobification Factor.
... Fassbinder would be proud.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But the woobification increases the sex appeal too -- or are you biased against creepy Oedipal sex? C'mon now.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Hm. Do sex appeal and woobification go hand in hand? It's possible to be sexy without needing a bowl of hot soup; it's possible to be both states at once; but does needing a bowl of hot soup automatically qualify one for sexiness?
Me, I think no; I think it's possible for a drowned rat (or similar) to awaken sympathy without turning on the wakka chikka music. However, I am one of those incredibly contrary people who goes looking for gen fanfic, so possibly I should not be trusted to speak for the majority.

Doesn't the soup principle figure in H/C fic?

You woobify rats? Okay, I take it all back.

Well, yes, in some ways. Although I guess what I'm asking is, does all hurt lead to h/c? I would like to think no, because I think there is a fetishment in there, in the ritual of hurt and comfort, that is not standard equipment for all humans. In the real world, it's possible to make somebody a bowl of soup, and still not want to have sex with that person, or even necessarily like him/her very much. That is how funeral buffets work, right?

Absolutely not. Never meant to imply it.
Though I wonder -- I wonder how the poll would break down between "weak", "powerful", "formerly weak, now powerful", "formerly powerful, now (healably) weak."
H/C is the latter, right?
