Oh, I have such strange triggers about issues of young children and sex. I mean, probably not very strange, but intense. I got stuck one night, I was reading all this Lost Boys slash that was just written *so* well, and so movingly, and so good, and it was incest slash, of course, and I was just freaking out unable to stop reading but in a high state of distress. It's a very viscerally important issue, for me; one of the most. It's surprising. And I loved the LB slash partaways because I love bad-wrong-horrible-the-world-is-doomed fiction, the way I loved the BtVS Wishverse.
One thing I loved about
The Witching Hour,
by Anne Rice (back when she was good, if very purple-prose-y), was Mona, the 13-year-old genius who slept with everyone she could get her hands on. Including 42-year-old men. And much much older men. And I realized I should be squicked, but I just wasn't.
I can imagine well done young/young fic, cannot handle incest, except my definition is narrower than some, and haven't seen an instance of noncon that I felt was worth finishing.
cannot handle incest
Also, I love
Hotel New Hampshire
beyond all reason (hello to the incest!) and
The Secret History.
Although both of those are sibling incest.
And, I realize, not fanfic. Just fic.
RL, isn't the Shack Challenge wonderful? My favourite has to be 54, I think.
except my definition is narrower than some,
What do you define it as, then? Just curious.
Am-Chau, I know a woman (*very* cool woman) who's on the list holmesslash@yahoogroups (that may be slightly off). There Is An SirACD-Fic World Out There.
I think I should go looking for that list. The words
There Is An SirACD-Fic World Out There.
create in me a desire to read Mrs. Hudson/Irene femslash.
YrapeMV.
Jesus, that does make it sound bad. But in fiction it really may vary, both in form and function - and the damnedest thing is that notwithstanding how thoroughly & genuinely apalled most everyone is by
actual
rape, borderline consent and lack of consent is VERY popular and mainstream in fiction.
I don't just mean fanfic either - it's a staple element of much romantic/erotic fiction out there in all its cheesy glory.
I've written stories in which there is sexual violence which I've tried to make ugly and unpleasant rather than titilating. But I've also written erotic stories in which powerplay and consent are key.
But enough of this. I'm being all mememem again, and it's dull. Hobbits - of course they have sex. They don't find baby Hobbits under the cabbage leaves! Bless. Frodo/Sam. Man alive, I'm looking forward to
The Two Towers
for a whole host of reasons.
Blood on blood? Incest. Loose parental figure/child? Not always. So the Soon Yi thing annoyed me for different reasons than most. Also
ConCord
doesn't bother me on that level in the least.
I'm looking forward to TTT for rather different reasons to last year FotR, because between then and now I have discovered on-line slash.
But I've also written erotic stories in which powerplay and consent are key.
When I was reading FearlessDiva's comments on her
Harry/Draco alleyway scene
in ToS, I was going
yes, yes
throughout. That's exactly what I had wanted to do with the Claire story. Kinda failed, but that doesn't matter. She articulated every very well.
Who's Soon Yi?
