Bullet-proof Kinks
May. 3rd, 2003 05:45 pmI've been thinking about this since ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

My first response is threesomes, because a good threesome is like a rare gem, a triple cherry on one stem, bursting with goodness. But I'm picky about pairings and I'll still want to hurl my computer across the room if it's bad.
And I'm even pickier about my secret love for rape, non-con and not-quite-non-con power imbalance stories. Especially the latter.
I refuse to wuss out and say my kink is good writing.
I'm pretty sure it's world-building, anyway. I'm currently wading hip-deep through Harry Potter fandom right now, and I'm in agonies and excstasies over the thought (or lack thereof) that authors put into - not just their stories, but the world surrounding it. It's the living, breathing secondary characters, even if they're non-canonical. It's the sense that the world is wider than what we see, with history and future both. It's a scope that doesn't narrow down to just two characters but instead shows them against the backdrop of their relationships with others and the world at large.
In canon, it's"You served with my father in the Clone Wars" way before Ep2 came out. It's that lovely ironic line about MacGuyvering a solution in the first episode of SG-1. It's looking at the Watcher Database and seeing that McCormick taught Cory Raines.
I think I can blame this on D&D to begin with, and L&C fandom, with its wealth of secondary canon (the comics and movies) to pick and choose from for background.
