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.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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?!?!?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

Farscape had canonical MPREG and it was fucking great!

Okay, I'm penciling in "inappropriate wingfic challenge" for this spring sometime. Gotta do Yuletide first.

The mind is an odd thing. I have no problem reading about rough anal sex, but even the hint of mpreg and BLEH.
Sigh
Off to seek more Draco fic...
