The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
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.
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.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

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.

Except for sex pollen. There's always room for sex pollen.

So many terms I have no idea what they mean.

Sex pollen probably means exactly what you think it means.
