i really read cracked too much, i get this
The Six Most Horrifying Sex Scenes in Fan Fiction Part 4 - which okay, let's not pretend here, this was hilarious. However, it isn't link worthy except for the author's aside in Number 5: Teen Wolf Has Amputee Sex With Characters from War and Peace
That's the fangirl equivalent of asking 'what is the sound of one hand clapping'? Or possibly a corollary of Rule 34(d): if it exists, porn will be written for it, and three quarters of your audience will spontaneously realize they're totally into it upon reading. Yes, there's an audience, adorable Cracked writer; we invent those, too.
Like sure, you're not into explicit cannibal serial killer pornfests, but what if one is a god, one is a mythical monster, one is the main character from a made for tv movie about a real serial killer who are all played by the same actor as half the participants? Sign me up, and give me a minute to Venn diagram this. Sure, you're not into almost hilariously feminized bottoming, but what if it's an universe with biologically enforced gender stereotypes and they all have wings and claws and self-lubing asses and get knocked up like a lot? With quintuplets? With elf ears? Someone just read this paragraph and is going 'okay, but where the fuck can I get all of this in one story? Is there elf ear penetration? Fuck you, this is teasing." Yes, it is: why hasn't someone written me this? Slaughterhouse 5 AU would be perfect.
Audience; done. We can do it before there's a story. Thus ends the lesson.
Cracked is in so many ways awesome, but every once in a while they stumble, dewy naivety and wide-eyed innocent upon fandom and come back, shaken, saying 'have you seen...' and the answer is 'yes, there's a tag for it on AO3; do you need a link?' Cracked, you're not horrifying me; you're giving me a reading list.
Once again, this scenario leaves us with numerous questions we suspect we'll never have the answer to, such as who is the audience for this? Is there a large segment of the erotic fan fiction consumer base that A) has read War and Peace, B) watches the MTV version of Teen Wolf, and C) has a male pregnancy fetish?

From:(1999. Concert. I'd neglected to bring any earplugs.)
Edit: not, I hasten to add, for sexual reasons. It was just loud.

From:But mostly the stuff they're describing is just sort of -- well, okay, random, but sure! Why not? Some of it is even intriguing, yes! Oh darlings at Cracked: fandom is weirder than you imagine, and we're not even the hardcore body modification people.

From:Also, I think that the cartoon fic that includes cartoon effects and references sounds like an interesting approach at meta.
Also: Including sex doesn't make it worse or less legitimate! (looking at you Trek crossover comment! (also, if it's really subby you picture Pine and not Shatner!))

From:I mean, so many of these things stem from a mixture of different kinks and taking somewhat sciency thoughts to their conclusions. (What WOULD pony biology be like??? And how would they excrete some magical "shit" (or non shit) mixed with analingus and possibly scat...))

From:Not only is the intersection of those three interests non negligible, but, as you point out, we often don't even KNOW what we want to read until we see it.
And finally, what a way to get people reading Tolstoy! After all, we've watched much worse canon for less lofty fic, right??? :)

So cute
From:As a member of "Cracked", all I'll say is he's so earnest, and cute, and absolutely unaware of what's really out there in fandom.
They have no idea.
