I miss you....

Ask away, or tell me yours, if you feel like it!
The numbers don't show here - if you need them, they do appear here. What fandom(s) do you read

Hmmm, there are some interesting questions on here! Here are a few I wanted to start with--though as usual, answer/don't answer at your discretion. :)

If you could request more of a certain type of fic, which would it be?
Do you ever re-read fics? How about triple-read?
What’s the most hard-core smut or kinky fic you’ve ever read (be honest)!
What makes you give up on reading a fic?

And I'll happily answer anything you like~

If you could request more of a certain type of fic, which would it be?There are all sorts of fics I like. I appreciate a new take on a well explored theme, interesting, intricate explorations of characters, and perhaps even more, of relationships, and if possible, of the world, though that is something I am less hungry for. And I adore recovery stories, stories about beng fucked up etc - when they are - truthful, gentle, respectful

Is RPF not usually about characters and relationships? (Honest question--I've not read very much of it at all, and now I'm curious. Because if it isn't, what is it about instead? Is it heavily based on world-buiding [like with the more extreme AUs], or?)

[citrusjava]

I'm gonna generalize and so forth a bit unfairl, and say that it more often is more about plot, tropes, genre. It's about retelling classic stories or movies (it's sort of plot-napping for them as the original text, maybe) or playing with genre (fairy tales, spy novels etc), or favorite tropes or kinks.... When the characterizations do get attention, they are often not realistic (which is definitely a literary choice, I like it less, but it's not any less of a good choice), centered around one or a few characterizations, nd often not particularly connected with "canon"

I crave character studies, relationship based fic, yk....

Name a type of fic you’ll never ever read.

You know, i can't.... fic I dislike tends to bug me and I get curious about the likable aspects - surely people enjoys something about it! - and I tned to poke and poke till I am convinced myself....... though I dislike fic that deals with consent without awareness - dislike character bashing a lot - dislike ooc, aus as a genre, though I've read many wonderful AUs, and of course fit that gives me triggers: not a lot of people would like reading stuff that actually harms themh....

Do people know that you read fanfiction?

Yes, yes, yes, I am pretty outspoken about it!

Who are your favorite fanfiction author(s)? I'm gonna give a very partial list, and not include people who might actually read here, because it makes me too emotional (though many of my friends are )(and if someone does see their name here - hi! You are awesome! Drop me a line!).... ok: candle_beck, thatotherperv, ninhursag, clex-monkey89, rageproofrock, ash_carpenter, roque-clasique, lazy-daze, bewaretheides15, atimi, there are more!

I feel like I know the answer to a number of these for you! How about: What’s the weirdest fic you’ve ever read? Describe it. And If you could imagine the perfect fic, what would it be like?

Feel free to ask me any of them. I don't think I'll post this meme myself, because too many of my answers would be boring--about a third of the questions would elicit some variation of "I don't know," or "I don't remember," because specific fics and author names tend to slip through my brain and disappear.

The perfect fic for me is not really - one thing -
But ok - you know my specific likes and dislikes - beyond that -

The perfect fic is long - as long as I would like it, with more f I ever want more
It is well characterized - both characters, relationships and maybe even the world aroun them and the things they do- are specific/considered and interesting, and play off each other well
It focuses on a relationship, slowly
Personal/relationship changes
Pref it’s Sam/Dean, or J2, non AU (canon divergent is cool, though),
It plays off canon interestingly, incorporates the things about canon that are great, and also is its own thing
It is unique
Pref it explores a unique angle of things/relationships/characters/canon

It doesn’t trigger or suick me ffs

Casefic is good if the case is interesting and illuminated the chracters/relationships interestingly

[citrusjava]

If you feel like it, do tell me any of these:

If you could request more of a certain type of fic, which would it be?
What makes you pick up a fic, what makes it sound interesting?
What’s the weirdest fic you’ve ever read? Describe it.
If you could imagine the perfect fic, what would it be like?
