I got my
merry_smutmas gift today! Squeeeeee! I love it! Here's what I wished for:
"I'd be insanely thrilled to find the following in my stocking, fic or art: Snape, Black, Lupin in any combination *hopes wildly for all three at once*, or Harry/Sirius, Snape/Harry, Sirius/Lucius. My favorite kinks include: "must have sex or die"; non-con, especially ambivalent or quasi-non-con; bloodplay; involuntary mental/magical bonding as long as it's scary, unpleasant or dangerous rather than idyllic; plot."
And my Secret Santa gave me a beautifully written story with every kinky wish on my list: SS/SB/RL with SB/SS and SB/RL thrown in, bloodplay, non-idyllic and dangerous forced mental bonding, noncon, a little hurt/comfort and even some plot! *squees again and tosses flowers and Christmas cookies in the direction of her Seekrit Santa* Go read it
here! But heed the warnings. Proceed only if you'd like all of the above in your stocking as well.
A few other neat links:
millefiori ponders nasty/nice and nasty/nasty pairings and the getting-together-thereof
here. marinarusalka has a cool discussion about trouble with story beginnings, from a few days ago,
here. And
wickedcherub has a nice magic theory post about whether a wizard can be mute, with great comments,
here. Also,
isiscolo posts some questions about HP doujinshi
here, many of which I'd also had. Since I never did get that doujinshi post together, here are two links I was going to use. Look at covers and reviews of many HP doujinshi
here and you can shop for doujinshi (and look at covers and peek at a few interiors)
here. Coming soon (when presents are bought and a small mountain of other work has been done) in Darkkitten's LJ (after answers for all those I owe replies to, which is quite a few of you at the moment): An essay on fanon. An actual fic, though it's short. Two long fic rec/essays, one on RL/SB and one on SS/SB. And then hopefully one more fic. Woo, actual content, maybe someday.
ETA: Huh. No more LJ invite codes. I never even got to use one of mine! I'm not sure what to think about that. I worry a little about harrassment, and I hope it doesn't stop the Tentacles of Love Project, which more than ever still ought be wrapping around great writers and readers and inviting them into the LJ fold, even if no codes are required.
