Been on a fanfic-reading binge, just not to obsess abut our next project and GAAAH! Altough there's a surprisingly high number of well written stories - I mean good characterisation, style, pace, imagery etc. - you can erase the sex scene(s) in 99% of them without affecting the story, plot, style, PACE, chara etc. It's just stuck in without any other sense or reason than to garner readers by porn. Am so bored by porn. *sigh*

That's kinda why I decided to keep my plotty fanfic separate from my porny fanfic... and I definitely prefer writing the plotty stuff more. I totally hear you on that.

Hello there! How are you?

Yes, you are, as always, one of the best; nothing can be taken out of your fics without damaging them. :)

I forgot to say that I loathe the constant need - in slash, but not only, alas - to determine who is the DOMINATING arrogant entitled bastard (of any sex or gender, of course) and who's the wee weak snivelling dominated. :(

Oh gods, people really don't understand the Top/bottom dynamic. I mean, I write Bones as a Top, but there is nothing weak or sniveling about Jim.

I'm writing another BDSM fic, by the way. :D

It's the same attitude with romance novels, you know? "Taming of the Shrew"-style. The only thing many people seem to understand is that loathsome kind of power struggle. Sometimes I think very few people really know what love is and, yes, it has many forms of expression and they are all valid, but respect and affection must be in there somewhere or why the fuck should one lose a second of one's life in an eternal strife?

In the Star Trek fandom? I confess I rather abominate the new film because I'm an original series (oh, and next gen) fan and I particularly loved Nichols' Uhura and Nimoy's Spock SO MUCH I can't be having with those usurpers. :P But I see you have masterlists and I'll read because it's you writing.
