I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I don't know. I mean, I don't consider myself a darkfic writer.
Well, I don't think you are either, FWIW. Your stuff doesn't have that aura of "look! Look how *dark* I can be! Woo!" that I associate with the kind of darkfic that's basically depressed fluff.
Er, which I may possibly have an issue with. Huh.

Snerk. That's a good way of putting it. Blackened marshmallows, some of it.
Stuff that's dark and makes me think and hurt I like. Stuff that's just "I See Some Scoobies and I Want Them To Turn Black"? I can't stand.

Is there a line between darkfic and realistic fic? Cause life isn't all marshmallow peeps and pretty flowers.
Edit: Crosspost with Plei. Stupid work.

For me, I think it's a matter of whether I get the vibe that the writer said "here's the story I want to tell, which is dark" or "hey, this would be really, really dark! Let's tell this story!" The latter feels, I don't know, self-congratulatory? Unless I like it, of course, in which case it's kind of fun. (I am vast and contain multitudes...)

"hey, this would be really, really dark! Let's tell this story!"
That way leads to bad, bad, bad incest fics with typos like "bowls".
At the worst, that is.

Okay, I don't know what kind of incest fic requires use of the word "bowel." Just, no.

Stay away from the bad fic, Plei.
I read it so others do not have to weep.
