Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

What's the best kind of lube to use on an advanced prosthetic, anyhow?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

According to a shallow Google search, something silicone-based (most hits are for prosthetic eyes, interestingly).

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Prophylactic gauntlets. IJS.

Think of the texture options--ribs, nubbins, etc.

Silicone based does seem to be the best for anything that's not actually made of silicone itself.

Think of the texture options--ribs, nubbins, etc.

Ooo! Even better!

People are going to look at the list of threads, wonder "What's going on in Fan Fic?", be scarred for life.

I'm not sure what it says about my life that my first reaction was Oh hey, I could email @loraxofsex and ask her! She'd like the laugh, and I need to check on her emotional state, anyway."

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

If people haven't learned to be wary of sudden fic-thread flareups by now, they may be beyond help.

This is so true.

Though, you know, we could have been talking about what makes a good gen fic, and if we prefer a more literary/internal plot, or more of an action-oriented plot.

Or if we feel our reading habits are problematic.

Or any of the other shit people talk about when they are not talking about Bucky Barnes ramming his metal hand up Steve Rogers' perfect little ass.

To be clear, I would LOVE to talk about those other things, too.

Like, y'know, why is it that I read more slash yet write more het and femslash? Does this say anything about my internalized biases, or does it say that I a: can't find enough femslash to really tip the balance; and b: am hella picky about my het?

What's up with my deep love of problematic things like dubcon and noncon? Why can't I rate a story to save my life? How do you feel about sex pollen and consent tagging? Warnings culture in general?

SHIT LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW.

I do still love talking about the metal arm.
