A porny Valentine for my friendslist. Some dear lovely anonymouse gave me candy hearts for my profile page, but since I don't know who it was, everyone gets the gratitude fic. romanyg *also* gave me crunchy love candies, so this is specifically for her, because it features f/f rimming and a reacharound, and a2zmom *also-also*, because Babs/Dick is one of her ( Read more... )

... hmm. I'm quite a fan of the Thrillkiller Elseworld, largely because my crush on Babs is biggest when she's playing Batgirl, so I was looking forward to reading fic set in the universe.

I don't know, though. I guess I can't picture this - what I mean is, I can't see why this story, specifically, occurs out of the lives of these three characters. I can't see anything definable, here. It could be anyone -- it's Babs, Dick, and Selina, but it reads like it could be anyone. Like it could be any world.

I'm having trouble reconciling characterisations again - I know this isn't regular DCU Babs, but it doesn't seem like Thrillkiller Babs to me, either. And Dick seems stripped of his identity and personality. I don't know if that's a story device?

I'm still a little confused as to why you'd take a line of Jason's and give it to Selina? A homage?

The setup and basic mechanics of the plot work, but I can't feel any depth. Maybe there isn't supposed to be any -- but this just doesn't resonate for me, and I don't recognise the characters, I guess.

Anyway, off to read the Dinah/Babs go I!

Thanks muchly for giving this a try.

It's been on my mind lately, thanks to some discussions off LJ, and the thing is, I really dislike that story's execution, but I'm hopelessly drawn to the potential dynamics it suggests. I like the idea of a Dick and Babs sans Bruce's long shadow, in particular, and I love the setting very much.

I'm very sorry to hear that. I've found TK's Dick and Selina, in particular, to be horridly under-characterized, so I enjoyed giving them a bit more to do. It's a shame I failed you as a reader.

Um, because it was about cats? I made note of it because I didn't want to be accused of plagiarism.

Maybe I'm just a big pervert and enjoyed the porn. S'okay.
