sex scenes in fanfic
Feb. 16th, 2010 06:52 pmI found these two polls about whether we read fanfic primarily for the sex interesting, because over the holiday weekend I actually ran out of my backlog of SPN/J2 stuff to read, and I was surfing around delicious looking for interesting stuff. And depending on my mood, I can read in all sorts of fandoms I've never been active in (SGA or Merlin, for example) or fandom loves of the past (Due South, Buffy)--just to name a few I was reading in this weekend--but I almost never read the sex scenes in those stories. I skim them in case they contain interesting plot developments, but I don't read them closely because --with the exception of some specific d/s kinky stuff--they don't do anything for me.
Weird, no? I mean, it's not like I'm a big OTP girl; in SPN I'm just as happy to read Dean/Castiel or Sam/Gabriel or Sam/Lucifer as I am to read Dean/Sam, and I also really love Dean/Jo and John/Jo and Sam/Jess and Sam/Ruby and John/Mary, and in all of those I rarely skim the sex scenes unless they're really badly written. Similarly, in RPS even though I mainly read J2 I'll pretty much read either of the J's with any of their former or current girlfriends or with JDM and enjoy it a lot. But for some reason I am OTshow, or something like that--it has to be SPN-related or it just doesn't do it for me. Even stuff I would have saved under my "hotlikeburning" delicious tag from prior fandoms, if I had had delicious then, doesn't really, umm, have the same effect anymore. I can still love the stories, but they aren't effective as porn anymore. I guess SPN characters (in their fictional or RPS identities) are my kink now?
Anyone else have fanfic-related TMI they'd like to share?
