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.

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.

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.

It all depends on the characters and how I relate to them.

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

So many terms I have no idea what they mean.

Give it time, Aimee. Give it time.

Sex pollen probably means exactly what you think it means.

Thank you Aimee!

Also, for some reason, the only thing I cannot read is wingfic. I'll read incest or rpf, but the wing thing just seems as crazy as the my little pony fic. I am sure, though, someday someone will post a great wingfic, and I will be sucked into that, too.

Sex pollen probably means exactly what you think it means.

I have no idea what I think it means.

What is wingfic?

What is rpf?

Incest I know and, just ewww. In fact, I found a picture of James and Oliver Phelps. Oliver is holding up a sign that says, "TWINCEST IS WRONG" Made me chortle. Here it is: [link]

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

I'm in favor of sex pollen. However, I have no interest in reading Dean/Sam sex pollen.

Sometimes I think I'm vanilla, except for the part where I'm the person going, "What, why is everyone grossed out by bukkake? That's so tame."

And from a reader's perspective, how characters are written. If it's a slash pairing written in real-time and space, then the writer had better be able to write slash, but *in character*, and not have one or both suddenly turn into a girl. Or a daddy. Unless they ARE girls. Um.

If I may, without embarrassing anybody, shrift was my slash gateway writer, Firefly my slash gateway fandom. With Hurricane Jack and a Sayid/Sawyer thing or two hastening me along that path, as well as Plei's Wes/Gunn. I *saw* other pairings in other fandoms, previously, even read and enjoyed them. But when writers are able to write stories about relationships that are firmly set into the canon 'verse? Then I believe in them. And you guys did that for me.
