Something I thought might be worth mentioning

[donnaimmaculata]

I consider fanfiction, to a great degree, as a platform that allows me to lust after some man I fancy. Therefore, I prefer to read fics that are not written from that man's PoV. I want see him through the eyes of others, because, in order to find someone fanciable, I musn't know what's going on inside their heads. I want the mystery. I want to remain an outsider. I want the distance.

Does that make sense to anyone else beside myself?

*snerk* First-person can be fun when it's a slash fic, though. If you mainly lust after the other one and identify with the one whose perspective it is.

Yeah, that's true. You just use the *other* man's body to satisfy your deprived lust for the *one* man. Or something.

Or something. So long as it works, I won't think too deeply about it in case it disturbs my enjoyment of pr0n. I mean, can you imagine that? You're reading fic and suddenly you start analysing what your reaction to it says about your pysche. *g*

Oh no, no! We don't want that *g*

Intellectualism should NEVER get in the way of a good shag. Ever. Real or otherwise.
