My blissfully restful week-off (made even more restful by the fact that my roomie and her kids went out of town) is over. Oh, it's still early in the evening, but I have to give a writing seminar first thing tomorrow morning and have classes and student conferences for the rest of the day, so I should really be getting offline and preparing

I think I can testify to the truth of "never say never". Though, I'm with you on the rape/non-con. (and really, I refuse to distinguish the two things as seperate) Also, my last and final squick is incest. Just, eew.

But yeah, I won't say "never, ever, ever."

good animagus form. [g]

I thought you'd appreciate that result. *g*

I think I have loose morals....

There may just be nothing left, thanks to Legion (TS Fandom) and The Lair of the Evil Bitches (LOTRps). Every squick I ever bitched about (including RPS) has been presented to me in well-written and engrossing format and I am hopelessly doing google searches. They don't even have to get me drunk first. Damn it.

And the few scatterings of "okay, that's just gross" I'm afraid to mention for fear of jinxing myself or giving one of my favorite authors a bunny.

Frightening, isn't it? I mean, okay...if someone were to start pimping erotica based on, oh...Rugrats or Teletubbies to me, I can guarantee you I'd never have the slightest interest in getting past my initial disgusted reaction.

But consensual adults? Or even consensual teenagers? I've pretty much run out of "Nooooooo!" juice.

-- but HP fic where Snape (or any teacher) is paired with a student, either in school or just out of it, confuses me...It's not that I don't understand where you're coming from; most teacher/student relationships feel too much like parent/child incest for me to feel comfortable with it. This is the reason I've never been able to feel good about Duncan/Richie slash, for example. With HP, however - or rather, with *Snape* - there's so little protective paternal warmth in the relationships he has with the kids at the school (notwithstanding the fact that he *is* [begrudgingly] protecting them) that I don't react negatively, particularly when the kids have aged up sufficiently

To be honest, slash used to totally befuddle me. I just couldn't see it, and sometimes I still can't. I never used to read it and then I discovered that some of the best writers are slash writers and I love the relationships portrayed

(Personally, I just let my cat hang around whenever I'm online. She's a keyboard hog, but it's better than letting her yowl for attention on the other side of a door

It's a vicious cycle, I won't let her in because I don't want her leaving me those presents in the bedroom (and she has in the past) and she's mad because I won't let her in.

It's funny you say that you "...don't quite understand the tendency to pair off male characters..." because I don't either. Or rather, I don't get the tendency to just randomly pair off characters for no reason. In my slash universe, characters *aren't* paired off unless there's at least as much canonical basis for their relationship (or future relationship) as is usually considered sufficient for the networks when they're setting up a *het* relationship. You see, I haven't really followed any show or gotten really involved in anything, tv or movie, since Due South, so it "appears" to me that these pairings are random because I'm not familiar with the characters. That means that my original
