There's A Woman Inside Of All Of Us Who Never Seems To Get Enough

 Okay, so I haven't done the last two week's fannish5, because two weeks ago, my answers to the question (Five reasons you only get into one fandom at a time - or - five reasons you are multi-fannish") just didn't parse nicely into five answers, and this week's (Name five imaginary places you would like to go on vacation) frustrated me, because honestly, the places I'd like to go would require me to be printed with special skills to not die.

So, I'm making my own questions and posing it to you.

So, flist, tell me five of your bulletproof kinks in storytelling.

I talk about a lot of them here, but I'm going to give you five more, to start the ball rolling:

1.) Nakama.

2.) Gender-reversals. Everything I'm really digging right now has some nice gender reversals deep in the text.

3.) Complicated father-daughter relationships. (See, Jack and Sydney Bristow, Keith and Veronica Mars, Noah and Shiloh from Repo!) This ties into the idea of gender reversals. So many author just focus on the whole father/son dynamic.

4.) Glasses. Especially hot, dark hair guys with glasses.

5.) Romance with an equal. I like contrast between two people in a pairing, but I also want them to also be equals in some kind of root way. Zuko and Katara are actually a really good example of this. Despite their sociocultural and (initial) nationalistic differences, they're very similar in a lot of deep ways (importance of family, the ways they decide to protect their family, a total disrespect of other people's property....)

Wow, Fail, Party Of Two

Fandom secret 841:

122: Right, because dropping the character with the most and most realistic character development is a good idea. As for his skill at bending? And fuck you for taking a shot at his bending. It's called working for your skills, instead of getting them god-modded to you.

159: You're still waiting to find a female character that you like because you have problems with women. YOU have problems with women. Try therapy and then talk to me. Because, I'm sorry, if in a group of women with such diverse personalities as Katara, Dax, Mulan, Buffy, and Orihime you can't like even one of them? You have epic fucking problems.
