I also have a sneaking fondness for fics in which genders get switched.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

I like fics where the boys have to wear eyeliner...

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
I'm also drawn to crossovers, which aren't really a badfic cliche as far as I know, but they do tend to spawn a lot of craptacular fic.
I have to confess, I very rarely read crossovers, unless I know both fandoms very well, but I'm really drawn to writing them. *looks nervously at co-written novel-length HP/Discworld crossover with mpreg* *is concious of Friends/A View From The Bridge plot bunny raving in its hutch* *emotes too much*
My other badfic kink is plots which involve characters who are normally grown-up becoming much younger-- especially if they're more like 17 than 7. I wasn't really a fan of Stargate SG-1 until I discovered that teenage!Jack was canon.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, god, you've made me go to an all teenaged SG1 place. I ... it's very weird here.
I'm now curious about gender-switch Buffy fic.

ita, did you know there's an LJ community dedicated to that? Jack, Sam, and Daniel (or maybe just Jack and Sam) are all regressed to high school age. It's called, IIRC, mini_otp. Sigh.

I'm not getting much joy at the little_details site on this, so I'll ask here.
Somebody loses a lot of blood to a vampire, gets two pints back in a transfusion. A) would they have the entire missing amount transfused or just however many whole pints are missing? B) How long until they were feeling up to normal activity?

Damn you, Suela. I know I read a fic where they were all sequestered somewhere, and suddenly I want to read it again.
Gack. I think I'm gonna go look.
No teen Jaffa? No teen Fraiser?
Ow. My head.

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
You're probably thinking of Danvers' clone series, ita--here's the link. Also, Jonah in the Whale's Loki's Curse is Teen!Jack and Teen!Daniel, and fairly good, I think.

I didn't know it was a series -- I'd only read Clone Home. Thanks!
