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]

Agreed. Go SPN. Wincest isn’t my cup of tea but the brothers are so much fun. For me, the show is fun the way BtVS was fun.

agreed!

You would think I would like it since Buffy is my alltime favorite show, and yet I have not have much luck making myself watch it, probably for these reasons: http://norwich36.livejournal.com/114126.html?thread=1839566#t1839566

Ah okay. The color palette is very very dark and I’ll say right now, there’s little to no relief from it unlike BtVS. As for the horror genre, I really really really hate the horror genre, and that’s why I put off watching the show until after the first season was done. What saves the show for me is the tongue-in-cheek tone, not as much as BtVS but it’s there.

I watch for the family soap opera and the relationship between the brothers — which just happen to take place against this extraordinary backdrop of demons and demon hunting. That’s all I watch it for. All in all, the brothers are very compelling characters to me to overlook the things I don’t like.

As for the travelling, things might be changing for me with the boyfriend leaving the marine corps. I am a very rooted person but, seeing the lack of stability and the constant change of scenery in the show help me internalize what it might be like to live somewhere new and very different, which, trust me, leaving the Bay Area will be a very scary thing for me.

Are you going to be moving? :-(

It's actually surprising to me how influential a show's color palette is to me--maybe SV has attuned me to that in ways I don't understand? Though I do watch BSG, which is also very dark--but not always and unrelentingly. I know the color palette is the reason I didn't watch 300, too.

The family drama part of SPN is the part that appeals to me, definitely--and I agree with you that a lot of the horror, at least in the eps I've seen, is tongue-in-cheek. I feel like I *ought* to like this show, given stuff I've liked in the past, so I don't really understand why I don't.
