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.

Well, I did write the story and I did give my character a reason for doing what she did. I don't know how successful I was in making her sympathetic, but it certainly was an interesting exercise in putting yourself in the head of someone you wouldn't have thought you could understand.

Well that's enough of a reason to do it then, in my opinion. I use my fics as a chance to try things out. Use of mixed up tenses, for example. Things I think I'd be afraid to try in origfic if I hadnt done them successfully here first.
