Recs: Epic non-con in random fandoms

[brighteyed_jill]

So, I've been thinking lately about how I came to be such a bad person. [EDIT: I don't really think I'm a bad person. Just that my proclivities are not socially acceptable.] Or at least have my own seat reserved in first class on the Special Train to Hell. And then I started thinking of the fandoms that got me into non-con in the first place. There

You make a strong point about them catering to their audience. Fan service. Gratuitous shower scene? The Irish thugs beating up Peter while he's tied to a chair? Elle burning his shirt off? Knox and Flint wailing on him? I agree that they're ASKING us to write fic to hurt that character. He's just so.... Guh. You've said it all. I have no better words with which to agree.

Also, hooray for discourse on gender issues, violence, deviance, and social control! Dude, just the phrase seeing a man treated as an object of desire, as a sexual plaything is hot. So uh, I guess that works for me. And definitely the mothering instinct kicks in. Break first, then fix. Only sometimes, I admittedly forget to fix... Sorry 'bout that, pretty boys.

Re: fandoms. Some shows fandoms are just a more comfortable fit for me than others. Luckily, Heroes fandom is full of lovely people. :D But I never read that much Buffy fic, or X-Files. Probably wouldn't have except for all the lovely recs at Sandy's page. Phantom Menace was the fandom that got me into slash. Mostly because Obi-Wan as a padawan had SO much potential to be abused. Yeah. Yikes. Good memories. I never wrote any Star Wars fic, but I read a good deal. So. Many. Slavefics. Not that I'm complaining. Ehem. I'll be in my bunk.

Hee! I also enjoy using psuedo-intellectual theories to analyze the world of slash. Do you know roseganymede at all? She actually does academic analysis of slash for her Master's Degree program. She mostly works in Supernatural, but she's a Petrellicester, too. Anyway, I love reading academic geekery about fanfic, kink, and other things that go bump in the night. Yeah, I'm a nerd.

Ewan McGregor is hot. Although I can barely bring myself to rewatch that movie, because so much of it is not at all good. But. It provides a few very slashable characters, so I can forgive it.

As far as being involved in internet fandoms, Heroes is one of the first I've been involved with to this extent. I always came late to the party, even after the show was off the air. It was that way with Oz fandom, for example, so I never got as much chance to squee (or scream in frustration) with my fellow fans as the show was going on. But Heroes is a nice opportunity for that. I loves me my fan community!
