cfeng has written Accepting as a NC17 sequel to Acceptance.Go read it. Because I can't believe he's written it. This is a straight guy we're talking about. But he has been seduced by Eric Bana/Orlando Bloom.

Personal hates in a fic
These are not aimed at anyone in particular, so don't take offence! They are just a list of things I come across in fics and whichmake me shudder.
Feel free to comment and add to the list.
1) "manhood". Ugh.
2) "chocolate" as a description of Orlando. His curls, his eyes, even his skin. Particular hate: "chocolate orbs". I think overuse is to blame for this dislike - maybe once it was okay. Now it's just cliche. Please think of something original.
3) Anyone tasting/smelling of something unrealistic. Yeah, Orlando would taste of chocolate (look, there it is again!) if he had just been eating it, but he could equally taste of tomato sauce, or curry, or beer. And nobody mentions that. Of course there is the overwhelming likelyhood that he actually tastes that dull-nothing-particular taste of human saliva. Scent: probably shampoo if he washed recently. Even more likely would be smoke.
