Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
At this point, I think we should invent our own bizarro-world subgenres of fic, and convince everybody that they're thriving subcultures all about... warts. Or stories where Our Heroes can't talk out loud and have to use a combination of telepathy, ASL and mime.
(Actually, I should say that illness stories -- What cool and exciting new bug can lay Our Hero low? How long will Our Other Hero angst at Our Hero's bedside before the fever breaks? What symptoms and consequences will be described in incredibly dull and extended detail? -- already exist, as a subgenre; they just don't have the kind of weirdness traction that wings have.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Actually, Aimee, I tend to like het as well. Unless I don't. And I read far schmoopier pairings that a lot of people like , like Spike/Buffy, Josh/Donna (from WW), Pacey/Joey, Ryan/Summer (from the OC, Luke/Loralai. In slash, my new crack is Luke/Noah, from As the World Turns, and Matt/Mohinder, and wincest. I want most of my fic to be big and romantic, but frankly, I will read anything

The problem with this is that if you create a wartiefic community on LJ, populate it with sockpuppets, toss up an intro post and some drabbles, and maybe stage a flame war between the fictional community moderator and an equally fictional wart-hater, actual Warties eventually will show up and rejoice that they finally have a community of their own. And when you realize these Warties are serious in their Wartie discussions and Wartie fic writing and not other sockpuppets your friends invited, things will get awkward.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Re: CarPreg. I just googled it.
SERIOUSLY????
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! HONK!
It's really not as fun to say "but did you read the one where they're CENTAURS?!" when Aimée only reads in a fandom where there are canonical centaurs.
Word.

Totally.
OMG! Where's the Impala/KITT?? It should exist, if it doesn't!

Too true.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I remember being somewhat put off by all the Dangerous Ancient Transforming Machine of the Week trope stories that were rife in SGA fandom a couple of years ago.
Then came the Ascend or Die Machine and the Exploding Tumor Metastasizer...

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I have this icon with the text "Canon, it's the new black", because it's so true, Matt! And not just on SGA. There are so many shows that smell so ficcy.
And now I'm trying to come up with something that I cannot conceive of anyone really latching onto...
