Fandom Snowflake Challenge - Day 6
1/6/12 09:21 pmThe Fandom Snowflake Challenge
Day 6: In your own space, rec at least 3 fanworks you thought you wouldn't like (because they weren't your fandom or they pushed against your boundaries or you thought you just wouldn't be interested) and that you ended up loving.
So I don't know if I've talked about my boundaries with fic before, but it's been a kind of hilarious practice where I start doing something with an extremely limited set of parameters and then just keep expanding them until there's nothing left. I started fanfic reading with a het OTP and I pretty much read only that. Then I found slash, and was all !!!! Then I started multi-shipping (and read all these things I swore I never would, like incest and deathfic and noncon and... seriously, I don't know if there's anything I wouldn't read anymore (except unintentionally bad fic - I still back button out of stuff that I cringe at reading)).
Kink was interesting for me, I didn't think it was my thing, honestly, and I thought maybe I was just really vanilla. But then I read a few things and liked them, and then I read a few more things and liked them, and then there was![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
kink_bingo and suddenly I was writing kink and now I read and write most kinks. Here are three that at one point or another I just thought "no way" and was delighted to be proved wrong.
