*grumbles*

Also, while I'm feeling invulnerable and rather grumpy.

Thing I Really Wish People Would Stop Doing

For the love of God, random capitalization without rhyme or reason must stop. It's the reading equivalent of nails on the chalkboard. I'm not pointing to a specific fandom here or anything (smallville) or pairing (Lex/Lana), but hey, if this applies to you? Seriously, quit that. Lex is naked. I'm kinda your bitch until you start doing that.

Any time you are adding on extra body parts, explain what the hell they are doing there. My tentacle mpreg strategy didn't just appear by magic, people. There was porn, and then suddenly, there were tentacles, and if you want to make me cry, you'll tell me how I should be more open minded, because I'm open minded, but seriously. Tentacles. Just there. For no discernible reason. So didn't see that coming. I understand the joy of shocking your readers. But making them cry and foreswear all porn in the foreseeable future? Not so much with the good.

In author notes, do not ever tell me you have done anything you have written about, in detail. I really don't like you that much. I mean, I like some of you a lot, and all of you in different ways, but only a few of you are the ones I am going to be comfortable, or stupid enough with, to say, please, tell me more of your six person and whipped cream orgy that's just like that WiP you are working on. Yeah, so. I'm reading your porn. I do not need your sexual history too. Unless I'm very drunk. Then I won't remember. So see, just ask me if I'm drunk before you do that.

I'm serious about that wonton thing. Stop that. That's really really getting on my nerves. And also, making me go from ooh, pretty, to ooh, Chinese food.

Honey is not good lube, and where the hell did *that* come from? Is there some huge, multifandom challenge of all the things that shouldn't be lube out there and some brave souls are trying to write each one?

I'll think of more later. Anyone want to come play with me? I am lonely, and also, trying to write, and also, really, do you want these posts to continue until I can finally fall sleep? Cause y'all, so far, the forecast says the frantic energy *isn't going away*.

*giggles a lot*

I'm serious about that wonton thing.

The second I read that I desperately wanted Chinese. Now I'm starving.

I'm reading your porn. I do not need your sexual history too.

I'm sort of amazed and shocked that people would mention that on a story-post. I mean, yes, *maybe*, possibly, its the type of thing you'd mention to a close friend on AIM, but posting for the whole fannish world to read...? Um. No.

I don't think there's anything that makes good porn bad like realizing this is a very strange author insert story of a kind. Cause wow. So no.

Hmmmmm

Perhaps it's their way of compensating for being turned down for an appearance on the Jerry Springer show. Or....cheap therapy? Maybe converting to Catholicism and confessing their sexual exploits to a hot, young, priest would do the trick, thereby sparing us all the ick factor?

And hey! Are you already bored with your new mixer?????? *clenches jaw mightily against nagging for Somewhere verse fic* *chants* "Not going to ask!" "Not going to ask!"

Yes, please. Or hell, just label it original porn and go for it. I dont' need a roleplay here in my porn. A really scary roleplay.

Soap. Shower sex, while not something I'll buy in bulk because hi, slippery and lack of room to manuever, I can appreciate every now and then. Using soap for lube? Not so much. Aside from the fact that one person should never go near another with a penis, a bottle of body wash, and a hopeful expression, let's think of the suds for a moment, people. The suds. I don't know if sex is a sudsy activity, but it's all I can think about every time someone reaches for the soap.

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2005-07-22 04:59 am (UTC)
You have a point.

Aside from the fact that one person should never go near another with a penis, a bottle of body wash, and a hopeful expression,

I spit coffee for that phrase. Oh God. *still giggling* Yes. So a point there.

You know, now that you mention it, the suds are a serious problem. That would--I mean, it would cut out some activity with the entire wow, mouthfuls of suds thing that will occur.

Huh.

From: [identity profile] aynatonal.livejournal.com Date: 2005-07-22 02:29 pm (UTC)
Ha! You beat me to it with this pet peeve. Soap is the worst lube I can think of. In addition to the issues you mention, soap is full of lye! Lye, on delicate bits! Makes me wince every time.

Stoping into comments because jenn always has great ones, and this made me laugh. Heh.

I don't like when authors feel the need to tell me that this is their first fic EVER and/or that it's really bad or that they didn't spell check or beta it. I'm not going to read your story if you say any of those things. What are they thinking?

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2005-07-22 05:00 am (UTC)
*grind teeth* Yes. And never say no spellcheck. Just don't. Let us all beleive that your word processing thing just, you know, *broke down* or something. Don't advertise.

I never thought you were racist. Frankly I'm shocked. I would never have guessed you were tentaclephobic.

Hmph.

Oh come on. Think of all of the extra things Lex can do to Clark with tentacles.

I mean, I'm not saying I'd read it. But it's fun to *think* about it.

Can I add lack of paragraphs to the list? I know it's common, but it goes without saying. Fics without paragraphs give me a headache (so freaking difficult to keep a track of where you are).

See this just makes me think you really do like tentacle porn. You complain about it far too often for me to believe you. Frankly it seems a little forced. Times have changed, tentacle porn is in now.

I know some stories are meant to be AU, but there's AU and then there's *AU*. I dislike poor stories that veer *wildly* from the basic characteristics. Can anyone imagine Lex calling Lana his little 'piggy'? It seems forced and strange; even for an AU story.

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2005-07-23 12:00 am (UTC)
Okay, nightmare #2--Lex calling Lana his little piggy.

Oh dear God.

I will neither lead horses to water or make them drink. I will *hold their heads* from the scary water, even.

Okay, now does that include the email I wrote you?

Cos if it does I am SO ashamed right now.

It is at moments like this that I wish I did live journal so I could underscore the point with a cute little picture. Maybe a really sad looking penguin would do the trick.

Also, that thing about you being tentaclephobic was not me. Jenn and the word sick at no point, *NO* point, would ever enter the same sentence.

No, no, no--see, you'd understand if you've seen teh stories Iv'e seen--where it's like--tehre aren't words. I mean, there are words, but they are capitalized and it's *scary*. You do not walk out of that unscarred.

I can see it now,
naked lex, lovely porn and suddenly: the tentacle of doom!!!!

I have mercifully blocked out most of my time in Sentinel fandom but alas, still retain memories of both those little plastic packets of condiments and -- much more horrifically -- the wood glue incident.

From: [identity profile] popcorn-orgasms.livejournal.com Date: 2005-07-22 07:54 pm (UTC)
Please no- Dear Hyne no..

No one would use condiments,like ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise (eew). This just became so vastly funny.

I mean- honey i could understand, because... i hate that i have reasons why I could understand it. I never expected, wanted to know more about gay sex than I do het.

But woodglue- in like a workshop right? or...no- there are no good reasons. No wait- maybe it was like trying to handcuff the person, except with your anus.

I'm sorry- but you can see how funny it is? I wonder if anyone gets ideas from these things...

*Fandom has warped my mind

From: [identity profile] ladyvyola.livejournal.com Date: 2005-07-22 08:17 pm (UTC)

No reasons, no excuses, no forgiveness! Some people just shouldn't be allowed behind the wheel keyboard.

I'm fairly certain that such things were the result of an "Inappropriate Lube" challenge.

But considering that it was Sentinel fandom, I could just be candy-coating the dim memories out of a sense of self-preservation.

Not that I ever really doubted you. *g*

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2005-07-23 12:21 am (UTC)
SEE? IT IS EVERYWHERE!

I mean, it's a noun. You could jsut as easily say "He rolled in eggplant abandon" as wonton, and it makes just as much sense.
It makes perfect sense, esp. to those of us who love baba ghanoush and wouldn't at all mind Lex or Clark rolling around in some so we could lick it off :)

From: [identity profile] onelittlesleep.livejournal.com Date: 2005-07-24 02:43 am (UTC)
