Traffic lights are killing kink fic
Dramatic title, but this rant has been building for some time and I need to get it off my chest. Friends, fellows, lovely fic writers: kink fic in fandom lately sounds like someone is reciting a How To BDSM 101 manual and it’s really starting to grind my gears.
It seems lately that, more often than not, any fic I open with even the teeniest bit of kink spends about half the fic being excruciatingly boring and samey about making sure everyone is on the same page when it comes to consent and who is spanking who in bed. As an Actual Real Live Kinky Person, let me tell you about some things that are seriously pissing me off.
Fuck…don’t touch me like that. Not in public at least… yes, I know I’m yours, but… people are staring! Mmmm…
You’re so good, all spread out for me like that. You’re so beautiful, so gorgeous. My perfect little pet.
Don’t hide your fetishes from me. They give me a new way to control you, to make you beg and moan and scream. I crave that. I crave you.
