A 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.

Story
Ashalrospeak Holiday: A medium-sized group of Hogwarts students (plus one professor) are going on a field trip . . . to St Louis. WIP
[livejournal.com profile] killingcorvis Silver Bullets: Remus Lupin has been advised to call for some unlikely help. He contacts Anita Blake and her werewolf pack to help him in the fight against the Dark Lord. WIP


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.
