Hiatus is too long, OR, I may need an intervention

[norwich36]

Dear my wonderful f-list,

Hiatus is TOO LONG and not enough Smallville porn is being written. For this reason I have strayed to reading HP porn and DCU porn and Buffy porn and occasionally even SGA porn, which is within the realm of acceptability, but something bad is starting to happen.



I am having dreams about Dean Winchester. Dreams as in the hot sex kind of dreams. Which lead to daydreams. And as the Catholic Church will tell you, you're not responsible for your dream dreams, but daydreams involve willful intent, and you are therefore morally culpable for any fantasies involving hot Winchester boys.

But it is even worse than that. I've started seeking out the fic. Oh, sure, it started innocently enough, with long SPN gen stories, and even J2 RPS, which hadn't exactly been my cup of tea, but I'd certainly read enough CW:RPS with Mike and Tommy, so it didn't really feel like I was straying, but then tonight I found myself actually (a) seeking out Wincest (ok, it was by musesfool, and she's one of about 5 authors I'll read anything by, and plus it had girl!Sam, and I'm very into genderfuck at the moment, but still) and (b) contemplating renting SPN DVDs to see if maybe I can stand the show after all, considering the hotass factor.

You see? It can only go downhill from here. I need an intervention. OR NON-SPN PORN RECS, PLEASE! If I get sucked into SPN fandom, certain people will never speak to me again (eyes mskatej), and I will lose all my hard-earned "I am not going to fall for a show I don't like just for the sake of pretty boys" cred.*** So please, for the love of me, send me porny recs in any of the following fandoms: Smallville, DCU, the 4400, Buffy, Angel, Harry Potter, Kyle XY, Burn Notice, Psych, or anything else you can think of that is not SPN.

Yours in a certain amount of terror,

Nora

*** Do not mention Smallville in trying to attack my ""I'm not going to fall for a show just for the sake of the pretty" cred, or I will be forced to respond with tl;dr comments about how I find DEEP and MEANINGFUL themes hidden in the visual symbolism of the show that go beyond the gorgeous cast to evoke archetypes that can be found in LOTS OF GREAT LITERATURE. Like Star Wars and other Joseph Campell-inspired ripoffs of Jung who was probably just misreading Frazer anyway. Because I always go for the DEEP and MEANINGFUL over AMAZING HOTNESS shallow and pretty. This is well documented by the icon I have chosen for this post.

On the other hand, if you want to tempt me with hot SPN or J2 recs, feel free--just don't tell Kate!!!

[Hocus pocus] Kate, please to be ignoring that comment above. [/hocus pocus]

Wait. What?

Oh, the genealogy of Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces is one part Mircea Eliade, writer in comparative religion, and three parts Carl Jung, famous psychoanalyst/depth psychologist. Both of them, although quite respectable authorities in their own right, have been criticized by scholars in recent years for their reliance on superficial patterns of similarities among myths from different culture that are really only similar in the scholar's reconstruction and not in their original forms. This discovery of patterns is generally traced to nineteenth-century anthropologists like E.B. Tylor, but was most widely popularized in James Frazer's The Golden Bough .

A good look at the critique if you're interested is George Stocking's Victorian Anthropology .
