I'm bitter and twisted. I just know it. I've just read a story that made me want to curl up and forget about TS fandom. Full of cliches and fanon, and normally I don't mind fanon but when it comes at you in every sentence it's too much.
This week has been a bad week with TS stories, what with the whole Jim having sex with a poodle thing. That still makes me cringe thinking about it.
I just have to say, Jim may be tall and buff, but he's *not* a giant! And this thing about having a 'new lover' words fail me. Now I'm going before I blow a gasket.

The poodle thing was terrible. Mousey is right, it was warned really well, so I've no problem with that. It just didn't do anything for me. Jim having sex with a poodle, penetrative sex too...ick.

Oh my gawd, please say you're kidding!
That's...that's....WRONG!
I've been totally squicked out!
Maybe I'm got out of the Sentinel at the right time!
*shuddering*
Re: Sorry :(
Date: 2003-06-18 05:57 am (UTC)There's been a series of stories posted at SXF lately, and the author seems to be going as squicky as possible. Don't know how you spoil for squick factor if you don't want to see but I'll try..

Apparently Jim could be affected by pheromones as the poodle was in heat. The poodle also felt it and came to the loft where Jim had sex with it...oh and little detail, the dog clamped on like female dogs do. So you had this scene of Jim with a dog attached to him for an hour hoping Blair wouldn't come home.
I can't believe that no ones made a fuss about it. The stories that I've seen be mauled at Prospect L and this doesn't get a mention.
I don't know about getting out of TS at the right time. There's still good stuff coming through, just not enough of it.

Re: Sorry :(
Date: 2003-06-18 08:22 am (UTC)No, I can definitely say it's the wrong time! How can I be so certain, you ask? Because I just started reading TS fic a few months ago, and I'm in the process of devouring A Golden Opportunity. And I need more to read ;P

Date: 2003-06-18 08:48 am (UTC)Ahhh, but you see, as a SV nut, this is not a bad thing for me -- I think she should write *both*. And, of course, the world revolves around me, right? *chuckle*

Actually, if you put Dolimir into the 852 Prospect archive, you'll come up with about 65 or so of my stories. My personal favorite (of mine) "Something Evil This Way Comes."

Date: 2003-07-03 06:30 am (UTC)Just kidding about the last thing, don't worry. :-)
Regarding bad stories: I presume there are the bad ones in every fandom and you just can't stay secure of that. *g* As long as other authors put out stories I like, my TS-world is okay. For exampel I was really pleasingly surprised to see "the wrong end of the story" by Julad and Calico and I love to see trickling good stories in my inbox, like yours or Terri's. :-)
