mhalachaiA couple of fics, and a realization about me.
Okay, first: Two additions to teh AB/HP fic list, just in time for Danse Macabre to come out on Tuesday.
Another is in the wings, but I wanted to ask the author about it first.
THEN: the realization, about me and writing fic and how pairings aren't all they're cracked up to be and how writing sex in fic is not a thing I can do unless it's dysfunctional sex then someone bring the whip and handcuffs.
So I was thinking about the SGA big fic I wanted to write (not the HP/SGA one), and how it was having a hard time coalescing in my head, and I realized it was because of the pairing. I was going to write Sheppard/Teyla/McKay and have those slashes mean something, but then the team angle hit me. Like, they're not going to the alien sex planet. So I stepped back on the slashy sex pairings and I can have the entire story without kinky teamcest and it works just as well if not better.
Then I got to thinking about sex. Like, not sex sex, but the idea of sex in fanfic. Considering my main fandom is Anita Blake, it's maybe a little surprising that all my fic (okay, all but one of the fics) are porn free. I skirt the issue with soft fades because I haven't gotten to a story yet where the sex is necessary to advance the plot. In fact, it's easier if I don't have to worry about the sex to make a point.
Having said that, there's two fics upcoming in which the dysfunctional sex is a vital turning point to the plot. One is the HP/SGA crossover and it's someone that John/Harry should really not be doing. As for the other... well. I think that anything I write with Anita at this stage in Switchback is going to be miles of screwed up trauma issues.
And in light of that comment, a postcard in the style of Post Secrets. But since it's on my LJ, it's not much of a secret. Deal.
I'll start on those summaries for dummaries tomorrow.
