Sprained my neck, nodding.
Aw man, I missed the car!preg discussion? Rats. And also, HONK!
There've only been a couple of writers of femslash that made me believe it, which is so unfortunate. Um, the scarcity is unfortunate, not the believing. I find myself bored, for the most part, by het. Amazing writers, many of them here, make it better, as they make m/m not only palatable, believeable, and in many cases, inevitable. I'll pretty much buy anything if it's written well enough. Aside from carPreg, though, I tend to veer away from inanimate object/human interaction.
As with anything else, the writer makes the wingfic...
And I'm still bemused by the fact that I can't seem to bring myself to read *any* HP, at.all. That 'verse is cast in canon for me. Firefly must hew pretty close to canon, too. At the other end of that scale, I've read stuff in SPN that I *never* thought I'd read. And I *liked* it. Well, a lot of it.
I'm the flip side, I guess. I tested myself last night, to see if I could make it through stuff that wouldn't make me blink in any other fandom, and I just couldn't do it.
Not quite the right thread, but I can't remember where I saw the link to the Firefly Vid to the Wicked song... Does anyone have it?
Minearverse thread. Here ya go, toots. [link]

Oddly, this is me too. I didn't have a problem with River/Simon really, but I just can't read Wincest. Unless it honks, or has gremlins.
It's the other stuff like wingfic and rpf that I never thought I would read.
It's so beautiful to see barriers broken for other people. It reminds me of the halcyon days of my youth, before popslash systemically destroyed everything I thought I knew about myself and rebuilt me into something...well, if not better, then certainly hella more open-minded about fic. And pairings. And the 'cest. And wings, and AUs, and kink, and animorphing, and threesomes, and orgy-fic, and sex pollen, and, and, and.

Well, this is more what I was talking about, actually. I still cringe at most Wincest, and especially parent/child.
I started out and am still, basically, a gen girl. In any fandom. Shenannigans are ancillary to good, plotty gen, for me. PWP is fun, and I do enjoy it, but gen remains a basic food group. Not grope, as I started to type.
My boundaries are mutable. I may be able to Go There in one fandom and not another. It all depends on the characters and how I relate to them.
Ooh, looka that, 5000!
SA, I hear you. But in my case, I was already really open-minded IRL about a lot of things that bore me in fic. Maybe because it's not new discovery for me. I have very few squicks, actually--there's more I don't read because of boredom than stuff I avoid due to squick.

See, everything in there is basically fun. Except for the 'cest. I *saw* the River/Simon. I could just never go there. It just...no. Too much parent/child in that particular pairing.
