Ugh, busy busy busy. I'm moving house on Friday and packing is basically the most stressful thing ever. I have so much pointless shit! But aside from being all stressed I'm mostly kind of sadfacey about the move, because I grew up here and I can't quite imagine never being able to go back ( Read more... )

LOL, the idea of incesty subtext is one of the things that makes me intrigued to watch Skins, as well as the given awesomeness of canon femslash, hee! INCEST. F/f is probably my least favourite kind of sibling incest (I love that I can say that) after m/m and m/f, maybe because it edges slightly closer to the potential of squick for me, especially when they're twins, BUUUT it's still fucking awesome anyway. :D \o/

I totally get that! One of the other potential incest pairings on the show is Tony/Effy and that's borderline squicky for me because he's two years older than her and it hits a bit close to home. D:

Part of why I find it hot is definately the whole "so wrong it's right" thing, but that's not why I like reading it. I do that for their interaction and dynamci, althought this is more in relation to OT3 with Naomi stuff, haven't really read much where it's Katie/Emily only. But I do like that pairing in that larger context of a menage a trois, so it's pretty much the same thing.

As regards real life ... very likely that my opinion is totally down to being an only child, but I wouldn't find it disturbing or anything. Weird, yeah, but I'm generally in the "if it's not forced it's okay" group anyway. Although I do clearly draw the line at generational gaps, that creeps me out for any couple.

I agree with all of that! I'm not an only child, but even though I'd find it squicky for *me* I don't really care what other people do if everyone involved consents. And, yes, cross-gen squicks me too.

Wow, didn't expect such agreement. And that viw is obviously idealistic - if a friend of mine was involved in incest I'd have a much harder time getting my head round it but to me, at least theoretically, it's just another type of relationship that society decides isn't allowed.

As a last point though, definately find same-sex incest more acceptable. Any potential involvement of biological children makes things several degrees harder.

I've been on a total Lady Gaga kick lately. LOVE HER.

I really want to write some Katie/Emily! I have other fic commitments, but some day I'll write it. :D

Weirdly, I found this really hard to answer. It squicks me, but if writen well it can be stupidly hot. I find the fics I think about days after reading them are Emily/Katie, I guess because there's not as much and it certainly contains more to think about.

When I first heard about incesty fic (Wincest or Twincest in HP or whatever) it was a major squick, but with Emily/Katie they're both just so fucked up, and the canon gave a weird starting point for it all, so it's a little easier to read.

PLUS IT CAN BE STUPID HOT.

I read Wincest and Petrellicest; no judging here.

Thank you for the snowflake! :D
