oddegg: (Booze aint food)
[personal profile] oddegg

What is it about slash fiction that attracts me? Seriously.

 

Because, whilst I may be occasionally attracted to certain types of female – Zoe from Firefly and Willow from BtVS spring to mind – and might not be averse to experimentation if I didn’t have mr oddegg, I am, really, pretty heterosexual. Straight with a bit of a warp you might say.

 

So why does the idea of two guys together cream my pants? (and I realise this is probably far, FAR more information than you wanted).

Because I hardly read any het fic at all nowadays, it’s all guy-on-guy, and I’ve never even tried to write het. Also, if it’s possible within a fandom to have a slash pairing that just has that edge of wrong to it – Snarry for instance, or characters you wouldn’t really want to imagine naked, or real life pairings or my favourite yummy incest – then I am all over that like white on rice. Christ, one of my favourite recent fics was Supernatural’s Dean shagging his brother who was possessed by the spirit of their car!!

I have a much greater forbearance for the whole hetero-male lesbian fascination now. At least that’s fairly normal.

I have been watching Smallville (what?! Don’t look at me in that tone of voice) and though I’m valiantly resisting the urge to write Lex slash I have developed a fascination with Michael Rosenbaum (to go with my Chad Michael Murray obsession).

 

There’s just something about that upper lip scar that makes my mind go to nastybadwrong places. And I now have an idea for a Mike/Tom Welling PWP with Tom being a bit of a psycho. And I don’t want to write it ‘cos there’s the fun nastybadwrong place and there’s the disturbing, sociopathic nastybadwrong place and I have a feeling this one would fall on the ‘I like eating human eyeballs’ side of that line.

*looks sadly at brain*

I don’t like it when my mind goes to that place.

You should write that story, maybe you don't have to go as psycho as the image in your brain is if you don't want others seeing it, but a mad (in the crazy sense) Welling having angry sex with Rosenbaum? Mmmm.

I think I may be able to hold him back from doing the full "Here's Johnny!!" psycho bit but he's definitely disturbed. Mike doesn't seem to be objecting that much though, so it's all good.

I'd wait till you read it before making with the Yey - it could turn out to be as dark!fic as my Harry/Draco pairing, which makes me feel ill and I wrote it!!

I don't read Harry Potter fic, but I'm sure I'll enjoy this piece

Don't analyse, just enjoy! *evil grin*

Two hot men doing it - what's not to love? ;-)

You may be right!
Hot+hot=more hot I suppose. And I'm sure the Supernatural Impala porn was just an abberation - though in a recent picture of Sam+Dean I was drooling over the car more than them!

The guy/guy being equal to the girl/girl makes sense to me. As for the pairings with an edge well that's what makes them fun ya know? It's all fantasy and fantasy with a bit of bite is more enjoyable. The difference between Georgette Heyer and Jaid Black if you will.

*eyes Oddegg's brain* Yes, you should write that fic - it could turn out to be really good. The premise certainly points in that direction. Plus ‘I like eating human eyeballs’ side of that line. is just cracking me up.

I'm not really complaining. Slash has after all brought me many happy hours of fun (and we will skate modestly over what that fun consisted of), but I sometimes feel I should extend my range slightly. Maybe read some het or femme-slash *shrugs* I'll get round to it.
And yeah - I do love it when someone takes a pairing that normally would make you cringe or curl up moaning 'my brain, my brain' and not only makes it work but makes it hot!!

The fic is getting written. I am trying to keep Tom from eating eyeballs, but he's not been taking his meds recently so...

You know I've been reading slash for more than 15 years and I still haven't figured out why I love slash so much, now and again I'll read het from a favourite author but I generally keep clear of it.

Long live slash!

I did used to read more het - started out reading Hermione/Snape actually, but I haven't looked for it recently. I might have a trawl for some after xmas just to prove I haven't been completely corrupted by the slash.
(HAHAHAHA - couldn't keep a straight face at that. I'm writing over half a dozen fics at the moment and they're all slash!! Ah well, no hope for me)

I dunno, hon, but it does exactly the same thing to me! Guy + girl = big so what. Guy + guy = hot as all hell. Provided I fancy at least one of the pair, that is.

Will ruminate at more length when I'm not surrounded by six small boys!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah - surrounded by small kiddies probably not the best time to be thinking about gay porn!! LOL!

There is some het I like, but even that is very specific pairings and situations, whereas slash I'll try pretty much anything and anyone once. I don't even have to fancy either of them! I actually read an NSync slash recently and quite liked it, and I wouldnt have touched any of them even with a bag on their head.

Its the way they lurk over your shoulder that causes the problem, especially when they see the icons and want to know what they say!!
