(no subject)

I am having a Very Bad Morning. I started to type it all up and whine to you guys and then I thought, you know what? No one wants to listen to you whine, Laura.

So instead I decided to talk about something more interesting. Beware of spoilers for the movie Thor in the lower part of the rambling below.

For instance, fanfic preferences. When I started reading fanfic, I read a whole lot of NC17 stuff. I have always preferred long, plotty fic, but I loved NC17 scenes.

But for about the last year and a half, I've found myself either skimming the sex scenes in stories (even professionally published novels), or actually just completely scrolling by fic that's rated NC17 and not even reading it at all. It really hit my attention this month when I realized that I was skipping pretty much every single MMOM fic that was posted this year. I'm not sure what has changed, but I just have zero interest in reading sex.

I know I'm vastly in the minority in fandom, and everyone is all about the explicit fun times, but honestly I'm just really craving some good, long, well-characterized, well-plotted gen fic.

BEGIN SPOILER FOR THOR:

On a totally different subject, my hubby talked me into going to see Thor last weekend. Did anyone else think that Loki looked like Johnny Weir? And did anyone else sort of feel sorry for Loki? He wasn't a very good villain, IMO. His "fall from grace" seemed so contrived to me. I found him a really sympathetic character through the beginning of the movie, and then all of a sudden Sif (the female companion of Thor) starts talking about how he's such an evil guy. I seriously got to that part of the movie and went "huh?" I just didn't see it. And quite frankly, I felt pretty sorry for him even through the rest of the movie.

END SPOILER FOR THOR.

So what are you guys up to?
