What kind of scary?

Well, my forays into the fandom have been recs-based. But I know there's a lot of Snape/pupil stuff out there - up to and including Snape/Ginny. I assume most of it is when the pupils involved are of the age of conent (making it marginally less horrendous) but I had no wish to find out. Age gap stuff doesn't squick me necessarily (Mr Knightly, Colonel Brandon) and I fancy people who are more than twice my age, but Teacher/pupil (even 18 yr old pupil) just not good. But since a lot of the readers/writers in the fandom are themselves very young, they can oost after both Harry and Snape without twigging to the big scary wrongness to the degree that a card-carrying adult does.

As I said - I tend to stick with recs rather than go trawling.

How old would a fifth-year at a British boarding school be? I'm forgetting how old people are in the books. Plus, I was a clueless teenager, if htere was sex going on around me I had no idea--except for the obviously pregnant classmates, but they Weren't Talked About in my world.

First years are eleven-twelve. Fifth years are thus fifteen-sixteen.

Have you read Fearless Diva's Tissue of Silver, SA?

Nope. Linky?

Here are the ToS LJ bits.

I can't stop tearing through them.

Thanks, Fay, for explaining the Draco thing. Goodness knows I understand pairing the hero with the villain (SpikenBuffy4evah!), but my favorite villains have to show a little more ambiguity than I've seen from Draco thus far - though since I don't actually read HP fic, it's all really a moot point.

Nicked from someone's LJ: Joy to the World. Short season 4 Christmas story. Very funny.

Holy mother of--Shrift, that new one? Is fucking great. Day-am.

Wrod. Just loved Phallus in Pigtails. I avoid SB fic as a rule, even though I'm a Grade-A MR whore. Something about the certainty that I would hate-hate-hate that flick if I saw it.

But PiP? Purrrrrrr.... Now that I've gotten the one real-life holiday gift I wanted, the only other thing I want right now is to reach up under Adam's Catholic schoolgirl skirt. Happy Holidays to me! :)

Thanks for writing that, Shrift.

I'm a pathetic MR fangirl, so I had to see the movie.

(Let's just say I also have a Really Big Thing for genderfuck, and leave it at that.)

Problem is, while I was watching the movie, I wanted to hunt down the guys who wrote the movie and beat them unconscious with a large dildo.

I don't find sexual assault and verbal abuse to be all that jokey.

I guess that's what fan fiction is for -- I was either going to write a story where I addressed some things my brain was screaming about while the inner horndog was busy with Michael Rosenbaum's cute posterior in red satin panties, or I was going to land myself in jail by battering Joe Jarvis and Greg Coolidge with a large fake penis.

So I went with the Catholic schoolgirl reject.

Who doesn't? t g

Thanks for writing that, Shrift.

Thank you kindly, and my pleasure. I mean, I'm doubtful that there'd be high-speed Internet access in prison.
