Dear fandom:

Please, for the love of smut. Please not to be quoting the bible and/or corny worship songs in the middle of porn.

I can't figure out if Arthur MEANT to compare himself to the virtuous wife of Proverbs 33, or if the reference was supposed to be to this song, or if there's some other closer match that I don't know, or if in fact I just over-

Ok, you read some REALLY weird fic.

Either that or you have raised-in-church issues.

[ineptshieldmaid]

It was just some random porn on the comm! And then it started quoting the bible, with no underlying metaphor or thematic development to support it.

I would not be above quoting the bible in porn. I would just make sure to do it with a proper metaphorical framework!

... yeah, ok, I have raised-in-church issues.

Do I even want to know what you were reading?

[ineptshieldmaid]

I dunno, do you?

[aleathiel]

I am strangely compelled to say "yes". Slightly intrigued as to how that might have gotten into a porn fic.

I'm thinking the author may have done it accidentally.

Also, icon? Is interesting. Elaborate?

[ineptshieldmaid]

no, i haven't. my parents like it, although I assume they don't see the slash.

Ew ew ew ew ew.

(I confess to having quoted the Bible in porn, actually, but not, you know, in the middle of porn. In the character-development part. With a footnote.)

[ineptshieldmaid]

If there was a footnote, I forgive you. There should be more footnotes in porn. Some of us find footnotes kind of hot.

This makes me giggle because one of the most obvious ways to recognize a fic as mine is that there is Latin scripture in it.

Of course none of my fics are all that porny, so.

[ineptshieldmaid]

Latin scripture = way hotter than dodgy worship songs. Latin scripture in porn, and I'm all there.
