~~ owning what you write, and random rants. + some recs

yukipon's h/d art has killed me again. gar. sex on a stick, man. yes, thank you.
    speaking of sex on a stick... ahahahah. silvia wrote some, except, um. if it was a person i wouldn't proposition it for a one-night stand so much as declare my undying passion for its soul. or something like that, heh.
    EDIT - it's raining porn, ehehehe. see, this is the Good Stuff. yes. the good stuff. mmmmr, am happy. zahra made harry & draco happy. all is good >:D<

holy crap. *would laugh madly if it didn't make her hack and cough* i'd say that's the best "fanfic" ever, but okay, that'd be a bit of hyperbole on my part. seriously though. ahahahaah. awww, harry. i love it. Real-World!Harry. with his show. in las vegas. *dies*

heinous_bitca's `armchair' is one of those fics i said i wouldn't read before i finish the one -i- began for the `across a crowded room' challenge. i mean, i've seen the other fic for the picture i'm writing for, and um, decided i really needed to rescue the pic from such treatment. but anyway. read it anyway. am reccing it whole-heartedly. realism and subtlety about emotional trauma always makes me a quivering pile of admiring goo.
    maybe i could make a compendium of fics, call it, "Harry/Draco 101". heh. or just, "Harry 101". read these to get a sense of extra-canonical!harry. read these to get a sense of extra-canonical!draco. and read these others to get a sense of what to never, never do, no matter how you're tempted, if you want to be in character and aren't just writing anonymous-boy!porn.
    anyway, in case you're wondering, no, nothing i've ever written myself i'd consider worthy of study. this though. this might be worthy of study. and yah, i like smut and angst and fluff, but i just can't enjoy it as much if the names are merely there to afford you readers who want "fanfic"-- and yes, i've written a thing or two that probably "just used names", myself. i don't know, i don't try to justify it, only to say that i wrote it for my own amusement, which is all the reason anyone needs, of course. if it gets you off to imagine these characters doing "that"-- go ahead. what am i, the fanfic police? ahahahah. the very -idea- that anyone would actually attempt to police certain things in fanfic is ludicrous.

lots of that going on, at one time or another. personally, i express opinions and preferences, i don't mean them to dictate anyone's behavior. i don't ever mean to dictate anyone's behavior, but that's just me. so, thinking about people within fandom wanting to censor or stamp out certain things other people write (also within fandom), just boggles me. "but you can't do that, that's -wrong-", ahahahaha. those people are taking things just a tad too personally.

( um. so how did this turn into a longish rant on plagiarism, anyway? )
