You don't even want to know who Kam ships Hermione with... She's got almost as unique a way of looking at the world as i do ;p
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. I DO want to know! Who does she ship Hermione with? What could be so bizarre that I shouldn't ask? Dumbledore? Minerva? Um, um...*blanks out*
I'd suggest Voldemort for wtf!value but I was stunned to find it is a thriving ship category. Um. 'k, then.
There are so many dark "episode tag" possibilities in this fandom that the rape is really just unnecessary. There's torture, murder, loss, betrayal, confusion, conflict... Yet we get rape!fic...
I think a lot of the fics are about 'let's get this character all nice and angsty so that their One True Wuv can come along and offer comfort and healing and they live happily ever after'. Riiight. It's a means to an end, which means they don't pay any attention to dealing with the repercussions because they couldn't care less. Hmm.
"What kind of fic does teh gf like to read? *iz curious*" Not that kind of fic, lol.
Lol! I did wonder! What with animagi and intelligent creatures, there's quite a few fics I've stumbled upon [my eyes! my eyes!] about bestiality. *coughs uncomfortably*
it's being handled realistically (as realistically as one can handle soul-sucking demons and vampire blood....)
THAT. Because I'm sick of half-assed excuses that 'oh, it's not real anyway, who cares?' because if a person's gonna write fic and subject others to it, the least they can do is respect the universe they're playing in and try to achieve some sort of internal integrity. Yes, magic and vampires and other supernatural things may not really exist in our world, but that's not a reason to flake out with the writing.
You haven't read any of my romance fics, have you? They all deal very strongly with what a character could realistically expect to feel (I'm especially proud of my Henry/Ashley because he's just got so much confusion and conflict over the fact that they were raised together). A reader should not have to sacrifice realism for warm tinglies.
Um, no. Do you post your fic on LJ or elsewhere? 'coz I do like Henry/Ashley and I haven't read any Sanctuary fic, so now's the time to dip my feet, lol.
