my wincest squick kicks in when actual footage is used in an AU manner to illustrate wincest
I'm totally good up until the hugs. I've stumbled on vids where they intercut actual footage of canon sex scenes to make it look like the brothers were getting it on and I had to run screaming. The implication of the hugs makes me frown at the specific changing of canon. Because I'm that sentimental about what the hugs actually meant.
But because it's Brokeback, I don't mind as much. If it were a generic Wincest vid I wouldn't have made it through. I like the specific exercise.
I really dislike Wincest, but Brokeback vids are too cracky to me to really bother me. Seriously, gorgeous soundtrack, but it's ruined to me forever, poor Gustavo Santaolalla.
Sometimes I sit back and wonder why an author felt motivated to write a certain fic. Like, you get to the end, and there isn't any emotional payout, or plot to resolve, or interesting and new ways to explore the character dynamics, or hot sex, so I'm left wondering: if it did nothing for me reading it, what the heck did the writer get out of it?
I need an intervention. I spent a huge amount of time watching a great movie (Inception) staring at Cillian Murphy and thinking of Castiel. It was really distracting.
Oh good, so now I can admit that I spent a good chunk of time imagining how the unfinished Veronica Mars fusion fic could play out.
While watching Inception.
Cillian Murphy frightens me. Something about his eyes just ain't right.
He totally fits the description of Castiel. It was so compelling. I kept imagining a big screen adaptation of SPN (you know, with RDJ as John), or maybe a Novak brother, or just
something.
I was immersed in the movie wholly (well, apart from the totally appropriate lusty thoughts) except for my mind screaming for my favourite angel.
I still prefer Misha, though. He's my favourite.

That's interesting. I enjoyed the video (though I haven't seen one like you describe) but I run screaming from the fic. I wonder why you can enjoy graphic descriptions on the page but not video.
My favorite Brokeback video was Remus/Sirius but now I can't find it. There's Harry/Siruis- ew ick.
What's a fusion fic?
I wonder why you can enjoy graphic descriptions on the page but not video.
Are you asking me? Because I totally can't--I'm the biggest Wincest back buttoner out there. I've read without squinting maybe one Wincest fic ever, and that was Wolfpack, where it was treated just as wrong as I was feeling. And It still made me tense. It's a huge squick.
ehab, who you didn't quote, can read but not watch.
What's a fusion fic?
Fusion is where you take the characters of the primary show and insert them into the premise of the secondary show. So a VM crossover would have VM characters, but a VM fusion would not, just plotlines and roles.
