386: Kinky Gen

Dec 06, 2010 16:01

Happy gen week!!! GEN!!! I LOVE IT! A cool thing about gen in this fandom is how, emotionally-speaking, it's not that far from slash -- the acute emotional connections and ~feelings between the characters lend themselves beautifully to the creation of powerful fic that doesn't need a sexual component to heighten the intensity of the pre-existing ( Read more... )

What a fabulous way to start off Gen week! And yay for Gen kink! I really love when they're described in this way. I know folks often mention that h/c is the "porn" of the Gen fandom (it's largest kink), but I also think there are all kinds of other kinks that also bring that emotional and visceral component other than h/c, many of which you've hit on here.

Thanks for this post, bb ♥

Yay for gen kink indeed!

I wrote a really long meta on the "porn" of gen a long time ago, and ever since it's been forefront in my mind! Especially given my own h/c proclivities.

Hope you like these!

Okay, now I'm going to go and track down this meta in case I didn't read it. I am so intrigued by this idea. I often talk about why SPN has such a vibrant and large Gen fandom compared to other Slash-heavy series. And I think it's because there is so much emotional storytelling potential that can still be hammered out in non-romance based fic -- and people are still able to get that emotional Id fullfillment they seek out without needing to read only pairing-based fic. I think the SPN terrain is just so rich for all the genres in this sense.

I am so interested in it too! That is what makes SPN so special *beams*

(granted, I have absolutely zero experience in any other fandom... but I can just TELL how special this one is!)

(i just re-read that post and not all of it is about h/c, the h/c stuff comes in at the end! I thought at that moment that I was the first person to say "H/C is the porn of gen" -- I even proudly bolded it. But I am sure people have said it before me.)

Okay, I just skimmed this and YES I have so much to meta with you about on this topic. Expect me to spam you when I have a chance. I love discussing h/c preferences, whump preferences, Id-fulfilling kinks, all of it. I geek out to it. So yes!

Girl, you may have been the first to name h/c as Gen's porn! It probably trickled down from you into other discussions I've had with Gen writers. But you're like Patient Zero :D
