Porn = characters aren't important,
To me, this is definitely the biggest distinction. Most of the other factors that people mentioned can go either way, depending on the writer's skill, intent, whatever. This is the heart.

And it's believable, sad, funny, and smoking hot. Also, sadly, locked at the moment. I'll post a link when it shows up on her archive.
In other news, Hossgal wrote a brilliantly funny story about Simon, Jayne, and a new shirt. NC-17, and all the voices are perfect. I particularly love her Wash.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Oh my God. That's possibly the most suggestive first sentence ever.

Nope, Jayne thought, if you had everything set up right before hand, there wasn't much better than spending an hour rodding a gun.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
