Famous Last Words

Okay, so there was some discussion happening on twitter, and it's become obvious pretty fast Twitter is not a medium to cope with these thoughts. So, I pose to you a question:

For any of you who have been in more than one fandom - what differences (if any) have you noticed in the fic sex? Tropes, kinks, styles of writing, common themes, ratings, recurring setups? Are there things that are more popular in specific fandoms? Things that are nearly impossible to come by? Are any fandoms kikier/freakier/slashier than others?

Is the way the sex written different in different fandoms? Eg. jenepel commented that Bandom tends towards dirty/faily sex while lorelaisquared mentioned that Gilmore Girls fandom tends toward more romantic sex.

Are there fandoms you got into particularly to read certain kinds of fic? Are those kinds of fics more prevalent in those fandoms? (Example, I started reading BBC Sherlock fic because I just wanted to read fic where John and Sherlock figure out they are IN LOVE already, and there seems to be PLENTY of that, so all the delicious PORN WITH FEELINGS for me).

What kinds of fic do you think are underrepresented in your fandom of choice? Or overrepresented? What types of fic are you so sick of reading and which ones could you read over and over? Which ones would you KILL to have more of?

Please discuss!

So Patrick Stump tickets went on sale this morning. ( BOY WAS THAT AN ORDEAL )

So, I did what all grownups do. I complained to Patrick on twitter. Because I honestly thought it was sold out because he was playing a rather small venue and he has lots of enthusiastic fans who love him. Wow, am I naive.



( AND THEN I GOT A DIRECT MESSAGE FROM MR STUMP )

So there you go. My darling Hardwire Harlots, I'm sorry we don't have tickets to see Patrick, but if it makes you feel any better he's aware of the situation and very unhappy about it.

I'll leave the final word to him.



EDITED TO ADD: BUT THIS IS NOT THE END OF THE STORY!

I'd just posted this entry when THIS HAPPPENED: ( CLICK THIS LINK YOU GUYS, AND PREPARE TO BE BLINDED BY THE SHEER BLINDING AWESOME PATRICK IS MADE OF )

Way to extend the middle finger to the scalpers Patrick. We love you. See you in May!
