Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

So many terms I have no idea what they mean.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sex pollen probably means exactly what you think it means.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

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.

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."

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

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.

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.

Thrive to spite them

Sex pollen is a story where there are plants with pollen that make the characters have sex. This is usually slash and a lot of times 2 characters that wouldn't have sex. Sometimes it' sex in a public place.

Wingfic is when one (or both) of the characters has wings. Either woke up with wings or born that way. I wasn't a fan of wing fic but I read a really good Due South story that changed that.

RPF is real people fic. Stories about real people. Band slash is real people fic and there are stories about Jared and Jensen. Also LoTR has a whole huge genre.

There's a whole sub-genre of this? I'm never gonna be able to watch The Wizard of Oz the same ever ever ever.
