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.

Fan Fiction: Writers, Readers, and Enablers
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
First years are eleven-twelve. Fifth years are thus fifteen-sixteen.
Have you read Fearless Diva's Tissue of Silver, SA?
Nope. Linky?
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.

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.

Also. Okay.
I'm reading some puppyslash, idly, because I found the writer's lj and I'm procrastinating bored; and out of a sick fascination that-- well, that anyone would write RPF, but also that anyone would ever find these people
interesting
enough to write about. I mean, fucking boy bands, what is underneath the
surface?
I'm a virulent, intolerant bitch. I know that.
But that's not why I came here. I wanted to ask.... My irony meter has been blown all to hell, all right? I can't detect sarcasm unless it's is printed in An Ironic Font, I've been reading too many shitty fiction pieces for my day job.
So.
It really is, isn't it? It's a joke? It's meta-bad-fic? Right?
I don't find sexual assault and verbal abuse to be all that jokey.
Wrod to the wrod power. I have a hard time watching date rape played for the joke factor. And verbal humiliation played for comedy doesn't usually do it for me, either. Of course, I'm just guessing what goes on in SB, based on what I've read in people's comments and what I gleaned from PiP.

Good work! I really liked how you touched on Adam's/Adina's trauma response in a subtle-but-serious way, and how that gets worked in while Adam figures out how to become comfortable with who he is. Also, avoiding a life of crime with the dildo. ;)
And, of course, The Sexy.
