The Perfect Proper Fandom Kiss.

[persephone56]

Is it just me, or is there a regularly-used formula for the Fan Fiction Kiss? Did I miss that lesson?

Hell, that's not just a fanfic kiss. That's an actual first kiss, and it's a pretty decent progression about how they all work. I'd say that Cliche!Fanfic has it right, for once.

[persephone56]

You think so? Please say you don't find people tasting like chocolate and cinnamon all the time, though! *grins*

I dunno, the time between lips meeting and then parting "To allow entrance" (Oh, I need to remember to put that in) always seems a bit long to me--maybe I'm just weird though. ;)

Well, if they've just eaten chocolate and cinnamon...:)

(Guilty of having one character taste of "tea and bitterness" in a story, but then, he'd just *had* tea.)

[tiferet]

People usually do taste like whatever they've most recently eaten, unless it's been a while :)

"deepening the kiss" - possibly the most overused phrase after "changed over the summer".

[persephone56]

Precisely.

I’m supposed to decide what sort of candy you taste like, usually cinnamon or vanilla or something tasty like that, though no one ever really seems to.”

HA!

Harry always tastes of chocolate and Draco tastes of cinnamon or something appropriately exotic. I recently cheered when I just read a fic where Draco tasted of toothpaste, because that really happens.

And Hermione usually taste like vanilla and Snape always taste like wiskey/cognac/other liquer of choice

(I have to admit that I had Tonks taste of wine once, but that was because she just had drunk some and she was also tasting salt from crying so I don't really know if that counts.)

[mizbean]

I think it counts if the character in question just ate or drank something. But the fact that certain characters are infused with a particular flavor cracks me up. Every. Single. Time.

Hermione must chew on vanilla beans, or something.

[millieweasley]

So that's why! Now I get it. So Hermione chews vanilla and snape....an alcoholist perhaps? One that lights sandalwood insents to hide the sent of alcohol perhaps....*plot bunny jumping*

"Mmm, you taste like strawberry-chocolate-cinnamon-vanilla-whipped-cream..."

"oO; Run that by me again?"

I'm going to write that converstion into one of my fics.

Where's the "ewww, het" icon when you need it?

[straussmonster]

Ahh, that's the one I was thinking of! Wooo!
