Day 7

In your own space, share your love for a trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme. (More than one is okay, too.) Tell us about it, tell us why you love it, give us some examples and recs. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


My quick list of kinks, cliche's, tropes that I adore are: skirtporn (i.e. men in skirts, whether kilts or dresses, I just have a thing for a man flipping up that skirt and getting down to business *g*), 'have to have you now/desperate sex', desk sex, wall sex, semi-public sex (with caveats), forced magical bonding, interesting twists on canon magic, and prolly about a zillion other tropes/kinks that I'm forgetting.

More interesting to discuss I think are how creators can sometimes get me to love something that I usually find a squick. Honestly, this is going to sound trite, but if a creator obviously enjoy writing about something, it shows in their work, and I will prolly enjoy reading about it, too. So, e.g., if you're snegurochka_lee, that would be infidelity, which isn't usually my cuppa, only it's hot as blazes when Lee does it. (See The Wrong man).
Or incest, on which the very talented sdk somehow got me hooked (see Sweet Girl).
Or humiliation, which I definitely don't like, unless you do it like gypsyflame did it in The Need.
There are even stories with quite dark themes (like torture) that I have found myself quite enjoying (see The Darklist by dysonrules).

So my long-winded answer to this is, I think I can enjoy just about anything if I know what to expect (warnings are important, I do have to be in the right frame of mind to read something out of my wheelhouse, like incest or character death), and if the writing is good enough. Luckily, my fandom is awash with brilliantly talented people. *g*
