You guys, I don't understand how badfic is bad in exactly the same ways in EVERY SINGLE FANDOM I'VE EVER READ. To wit

Hee. This stuff annoys me as well (though god, I find myself doing it sometimes) and this entry made me laugh :D It's like with H/D, in Harry Potter fandom... It was always 'the blond' and 'the dark haired boy', etc.

My favourite (out of fandom) are the porny-romance novels that try to make it more legit by using comparisons like 'hidden garden' and 'love juices', though that's a whole different type of writing, haha.

Yeah, I didn't even want to get into "her molten womanly core" and "his proud manroot". WTF?

molten womanly core

*dead* hahaha, y'know, you'd think that the person involved in that sort of situation might be worried about getting lava on their hands/other parts of their anatomy... And man root makes me think of planting, and a garden of penises (penii?) isn't something that appeals.

Also, icon love!!

This is one of the icons I've had the longest. I &heart; Allison Janney.

I imagine fandom would LOVE a magic garden of penii.

OH MY GOD STOP!!!!!

My glistening dewy cerulean orbs eyes! My glistening dewy cerulean orbs eyes! (gasped the curvaceous blonde-haired Englishwoman, tremulously)

What, you don't want to know about her honey-flower or glistening pearl? Or his tumescent manrocket? IT'S EROTIC, DONTCHA KNOW?

OMG. *giggles* A friend & I found an entire SPN 'zine like this. I know the writer was being serious, but I hadn't laughed so hard in ages.

Oh dear lord. Dean does not approve.

Sometimes it is fun to write it, though. My Victorian AU is a satire so I to use Victorian erotic terms instead of the ones I would normally use - and they are hilarious as hell. My favorite is still "sweet laboratory of love" but I could come up with a list.

But, gods, I hope no one thinks I take it seriously... ;)

I think the expectations for period pieces and pastiches etc., are somewhat different.

It also gives me the excuse to capitalize words without fear of repercussion... ;)
