reenka...It just occurred to me to wonder if 'gorgeous glittery boy in nightclub' counts as a kinkfic type, same as say... spanking. o_0 But then, once you start calling things 'kink', where do you stop?
At least, I wonder if not liking the boys to be uber-gorgeous and amazingly muscled/dressed/etc counts as a kink. I mean, I love the club!fics! I do! How can I dislike an excuse for blatant public groping! It's just. I just hate it when so much attention is spent on clothes and random hot guys and 'looking sexy'; this is related to me hating characters being made into sex-objects, I guess, mostly because the type of things most people find stunningly attractive, I just find lame. So if you write about 'emerald eyes and shining skin', my reaction wouldn't be properly star-struck. I mean... being cute is one thing; it's just being pretty the way a flower or a kitten is 'pretty' & cute. Being 'drop-dead gorgeous'-- that's an image projection. It's not who you are, it's how you act, and people who act 'drop-dead gorgeous' can come off as... vain & arrogant. I guess it's the difference between natural charm and forced attention-seeking; it just 'feels' wrong to me.
I don't feel like hardcore porn dumbs me down, but all the focus on clothes and eyeliner does, silly as that sounds. -.-;;; And yeah, I realize how ridiculous it is to split shallowness hairs when you're talking club!fic. Heh. I think I'm just a bit overwhelmed with too many clothes descriptions in my fantasy book, too. And y'know, I -like- fashion... just not described. I like it... visual. ^^;;;;
...But that gets into a whole -thing- about how much physical description is too much and what is it -good- for in stories and why-oh-why do so many really great writers go overboard (including me, back before I stopped writing much description at all). Maybe I'm just spoiled by manga, I dunno. Nary an over-descriptive paragraph in sight there, man.
Speaking of manga & traumatic experiences....
I should've known better, of course, but I was reading Asami Tohjoh's latest hardcore yaoi scanslation, and in a public lab, and... suddenly this guy comes up to me & says: 'Not to be rude, but can you tell me the name of that manga?' And he's a boy and tall, black and vaguely attractive and I just sat there trying to remember the name or -my- name or -anything-, because basically no sound would come out. Omg, the sheer... shock. And embarrassment. And shock. Wah. I think I was expecting him to shake his finger at me and call me a bad girl, which he didn't, but I dunno if taking an interest in gay smut makes me any more comfortable, actually~:))

>.> What about if their hotness and fashion gayness is canon?

Date: 2006-04-06 09:27 am (UTC)Well... I tend not to like characters that are canonically 'hot' (and what does that mean? everyone's hot in fanon, and most characters are really attractive in anime & American TV, so... but then I don't read fic for much American TV -or- anime). Um. Anyway, it's fine if it's canon but I'd probably still avoid it :>
