I watched the deleted scenes and I really didn't get a slashy vibe, but twinscest ins't one of my kinks and I know nothing of Catholic Guilt.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I don't usually get incest vibes, but I could see where people were coming from in Boondock Saints.

I don't usually get incest vibes, either, unless it's deliberately textual or there are hodgeberry situations.
I think it's easier to see the subtextual incest vibes visually rather than on the written page. Sometimes I'll see it unwillingly when the two actors in question have the BBOC factor, and I'm pretty sure there were witnesses when I made the Skywalker-esque "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" because of the Sean Bean and David Wenham HOTT! factor warping my brain forevermore.
But the way Connor and Murphy look at the world and only see each other, well... it's viby. There was a vibe.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Simon and River are pretty much the only sibling relationship that I've seen that vibed so strongly that I actually sought out CSI. The rest of the popular fandom sibling pairing--Eowyn/Eomer, all kinds of HP twincest, Shannon/Boone on Lost--I don't really see the subtext at all.

My eyes, my eyes! I just got into reading what appeared to be a good Harry/Draco fic when I discovered it was an mpreg. I have avoided these like the plague cause I just don't see the appeal. This story had no warning, and it did not become apparent until a few chapters in.
Where is the brain bleach?!?!?

Continuing the theme of "kinks I don't really get"...
Next someone needs to post about wingfic.

wingfic?
Not sure I want to know.
I'm still pissed. I liked the way the story started, and I admit I am hooked, but not enough to read mpreg. Bleh. Double Bleh. Bleh with with worms and toads and more bleh.

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
Wingfic is, er, fic where people grow wings, or just have wings, inexplicably. At least that's my understanding of it, never having read it myself. I hear it was very popular in popslash.

Maybe we need to start a wingfic challenge, the way the Bad Elf stories swept LJ fandom a few years back. Those were FUN.
I wonder if I still have my D'Argo-is-an-Elf story on my blog somewhere...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Wingfic always made me say "huh", followed shortly by "but why?". MPREG, otoh, is sickbadwrong. Totally different vibe.
