Wouldja liketa take a survey...?
Nov. 7th, 2002 03:35 pmA couple surveys, yoinked from DaMoyre. That second one *used* to be just top 10...but I couldn't stop. ^^;;
Your top 5 fanfiction kinks. The plot devices you just can't resist reading and/or writing:
1. Romances and happy endings (does not necessarily mean sappy endings)
2. Threesomes (relationshipwise, not just sex)
3. Songfics
4. Humor/parody (including MiSTings)
5. Stories, especially romances, where a character (nearly) sacrifices themselves to save another ( ^^;; )
Top fifteen fanfiction squicks or dislikes:
1. Pregnant males XP
2. Feminized (or OOC in general) characters
3. Deathfics
4. Non-con sex
5. Mary Sue/author avatar characters
6. Obsessions with making villains the good guys (aka The Muraki Syndrome)
7. Fics that haven't been edited/beta'ed/spellchecked
8. Feedback ransom ("I won't write more unless you comment!")
9. Kid fics (ie. children of the fandom's characters--especially if they're prodigies, *especially* if the actual fandom characters no longer feature or feature little)
10. Psychological/physical abuse (especially with no solution/resolution)
11. BDSM fics (especially heavy BDSM, it's so overdone...actually, most kink fics are just too overdone anymore)
12. Lemons--who'd have thunk it? (They're just too overdone, too overused, too often poorly written, too often boring and mechanical ^^; , too often resorted to as a pale substitute for a real story, etc.)
13. Incest fics
14. Wallow-in-angst and/or therapy fics (Sorry, but work on your issues of annorexia, suicide, or self-cutting some other place, or at least with characters who'd *have* these sorts of issues)
15. Fic authors Sephiroth and Enigma ( >D )
