[mmmmm, craaaaackkkkk....]

I love crackfic, I really do. It's a great stress-reliever for me, 'cause like, if there's lots of wacky-insane things happening, I tend to go along with all sorts of characterization choices-- they tend to seem normal. I mean, -if- the fic is well-written & funny to start with, etcetc. It just makes me happy, and on some level I wish more good writers wrote stuff like love-potions and vampires and Veelas and exchange students from Moravia and lost-prince-of-Atlantis!Draco and alcoholic!Harry, etcetc.

On the other hand(!!) IF the wacky-insane things happen in a supposedly 'serious' fic, I get very irate indeed. It's like, the amount I adore crackfic is sort of proportional to just how much I hate going WTF??! in 'normal' fic. I mean, in an ideal world, all crack would actually be labeled 'crack' so as to be enjoyed properly with proper disengagement of ze brain, you see. But then, it needs to be -fun- for that. And, you know, ONE MORE SPY!DRACO FIC JUST ISN'T FUN OKAY. Glad we've got that settled, then.
    Oh, and yeah, HP porn alone doesn't have the patented crack effect 'cause I've gotten to the point where I have an ingrained idea of what the characters would be like in bed. It's sort of sad and funny in a way, 'cause I still remember back when I seriously -tried- to imagine how they'd have to be uniquely characterized, and it boggled me to picture Harry's -specific- ways of reacting, etc. Quite possibly, now I'm just deluded, but fact remains you have to actively sell me on 'abnormal' sex (from my pov) by a good storyline, ahahah.

I am tired, oh-so-tired, of actually being forced to think about what I read-- and I think that's a large part of my discontent with H/D fics, y'know, because I can't not think. It's like a Chinese curse, I swear to god. This is like a warning to children: if you think too much about your porn, this is what will happen to you, little kiddies. YOU WILL TURN OUT LIKE REENA, OH YES YOU WILL. FEAR!! FEAR!!1

Er, all this was a way of pimping mirabellawotr's vampire!Harry, which is just absolutely 100% fine-grade crack and ridiculously delightful. And I haven't actually enjoyed an H/D from start to finish for... well, a long long (long------long---------long--------------->) while. Heh. So! READ IT. Is what I'm saying. AND LET THE CRACK FILL YOUR NEEDY LITTLE SOUL, just like it did mine. *happy sigh*



...PS. Yes, bold is the new black.

It sort of occurred to me to wonder-- since I -know- there are lots of sensitive guys out there, and they're not the usual macho non-talky uncommunicative types-- so like, why don't they congregate and bond like 'sensitive' girls do--? Like, my resident sensitive boy says it's because they gravitate towards sensitive girls anyway.... Woe.

This is the sort of questioning that created yaoi, wasn't it :>
