facing dislikes

[aleathiel]

Right, I have a challenge for you all: write a drabble using the things you ignore, or even actively avoid, in the fandom. Post them (or links) here. (AU? RPS? a particular pairing? or characterisation? What don't you like?)

I'll start you off with a combination of two of my personal dislikes: mpreg and wingfic.


By eight months Orlando’s wings could not sustain his weight. His swollen stomach pulled at his spine and made his shoulders sink, his wings hanging listlessly, feathers trailing behind him in the dust as he walked. It was too much effort to try and lift them.

Exhaustion overwhelmed him and drained the smiles from his face as he curled in on himself, every fibre concentrating on the burgeoning life inside him, counting down the moments until birth.

Through his isolation, light shone in Orlando’s eyes when he reminded himself it was Viggo’s child that kept him pinioned to the ground.

Wing!fic I don't mind too much. I played in RPG for the longest time where I was Dominic, a mortal, and his lover Billy was a faerie. So in that aspect ... I guess it doesn't bother so much because he had wings for a reason.

But mpreg fics bother me. They always completely girlafy whoever the pregnant one is.

Really bad death!fics. Some I will read ... others I won't. It takes a really good writer to deal with that topic, and I can honestly say that most haven't pulled it off.

And DomLijah. Not a big fan of it. Maybe because of the whole "tinhat" thing, but I very rarely read ANYTHING DomLijah.

Thus ends my rant.

14 DAYS! :D

Exactly. And doesnt that defeat the object of reading slash in the first place?

I don't read Domlijah either. Just doesn't interest me. I like Elijah in other pairings, and indivdually or all together I like the hobbits, but I don't like hobbit pairings.

14 DAYS!
