Fictional Fictions

I Big Bang \o/

I've adored and loved all the stories I've read so far (all but two of them) and I. Want. More.

But people ... people I don't know are writing GEN and ew, why are they tormenting ME like that? The show is gen, why write it? People should be catering to MY NEEDS and giving me, at the very least, good porny R rated slashy fiction. Dammit.


:p

PEOPLE ARE DOING THAT IN BANDOM AND IT IS HURTING ME. What's the point of writing fic about hot boys if you're not going to slash them? All of these lovely, long fics are being posted and the gen ones make me so sad. Even though I'm still reading them.

Someone even wrote het. I was shocked and appalled.

Jeebus - I read that as "a good PONY R rating." I clearly have spent WAY to much time in CAPSLOCK.

I've only gotten a chance to get through The Seahorse and Spin the Light. I STILL have to go comment on them. Hahaha - I was so tired by the time I finished them, I just crawled into bed.

I agree. Completely.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!

I'm not reading any gen stories by people I don't know unless of course they later get rec'd by people I do know. Yanno? :p

I'm kind of both worried and waitin' on het to be posted. Ugh. Do. Not. Want.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahahahaa. Oh, images!

All the stories have been amazing so far, which isn't surprising because of the authors but yeah.

Next year, if there's a Big Bang ... I'm going to do something about all this gen. Okay, probably not. But the thought is there.

I DON'T KNOW! THEY'RE CRAZY!

I have real issues with het in bandom. Most het pairings are bandom boys' actual wives, and I don't know why it bothers me so much, but I feel like it's an invasion of privacy. Which makes no sense when you look at it logically, because ALL RPF is like that. But for whatever reason, I can justify slashing them better than I can writing about their real life marriages because I feel like, well, they're not actually gay, so it's clearly fiction.

...And I don't know why I went all into that in your journal. Heh. Sorry, I'm apparently in a rambling mood today.

I'll join your campaign. Make banners and things. 'Stop Gen before it starts' Something like that.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I completely understand that, I used to think that I hated het RPS but it turns out that I just hate Realistic Het RPS and just most of the time mildly dislike Fictional Het RPS. *nods*

I've read a couple Realistic Het RPS and the stories were well written and good and blah blah blah but just. No. No, thank you.

It's just a little creepy sometimes, you know? Disrespectful or something. I felt the same way about Jared/Sandy fic when I was still active in J2. I couldn't read it.

[identity profile] winterweathered.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Gen like... gives me the girl version of blue balls.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I like this plan.

[identity profile] delicatelight.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha. I know, right? It's NOT FUN and CAUSES PAIN. Also? I always want to tell the het writers, "Seriously? There are lots of fandoms out there with het pairings. Go play in one of those."

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
*whispers* Jared/Sandy is what I did read though I think Jensen was there too. Pretty sure.

[identity profile] delicatelight.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee.

[identity profile] tabularassa.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I need to get my read on fo so:)

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Totally.

[identity profile] regala-electra.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey I have written R rated gen stories.

Heck, I wrote an R rated story about Dean finding out that someone made a dildo based off of his dick. And then he bought it for Sam.

Good times.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well. That's cheating. I don't know how or why it is, it just IS.

[identity profile] jeyhawk.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't get it either. Why gen, it's so... pointless. :0P

[identity profile] halfshellvenus.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahaha!

That's an excellent way of explaining it. :D

I enjoy Gen very much, but for SPN I tend to like it better in shorter stories. Anything in that 20K range had better have some smexin' or lovin' as the payoff.

Slash, that is. I don't read the Het at all.

WHEN ARE YOU POSTING YOUR STORY?

[identity profile] sadcypress.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I've read some of the BB gen and just getting CONFUSED when Sam and Dean aren't jumping each others' bones! I start scrolling down frantically, searching for the sex that JUST ISN'T THERE.

*whimpers*

I don't understand gen.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I read one of the gen stories because it was by an author that I like and I enjoyed it but there ain't no way in heck I'm reading one by someone I don't know because it's just WRONG.

I love Big Bang, too! ♥ Actually, this is how dorky my love is for Big Bang: A few weeks ago, I went through the post that had all of the story summaries and matched them up with the posting schedule to make up a little calendar of dates of the stories I am most looking forward to reading. (J2 AUs are my most favorite out of everything.) *is a dork*

As for gen fic, here's the numbers for this year's entries if you're curious:

17 SPN gen stories
39 SPN slash stories
1 SPN het story
53 J2 slash stories

[identity profile] jeyhawk.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
On June the 18th. ;0)

D:

LEARN TO LOVE THE GEN.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
But that isn't tonight. I want TONIGHT. NOW.

Okay, okay. Fine. *waits a few more days*

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
J2 AUs are my favourites too. They make me ridiculously stupid happy.

And and 17 gen stories? Manalive. But but 53 J2 slash? YEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I DO love the gen. When it's on the show. :P

[identity profile] uglyduckling-me.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
The only Gen I like to be in fics is Jen.

Gen fics just...it's almost like a squick for me. Like I'll be reading, not paying attention to the summary or whatever and I'll get midway through and it's like my Spidey-Slash sense starts tingling and I get all antsy, looking for the boy sexin'...only to get to the end and there was NONE. And then I'm all sad and feeling unfilled and unsatisfied. :(
But then I read a really porny slash fic and it's all better.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I often do that too.

\o/ I was beginning to wonder where I could engage in eloquent banter about Big Bang. :)

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-06-12 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Certainly not here. :P

[identity profile] 22by7.livejournal.com 2008-06-13 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
i second this!

[identity profile] 22by7.livejournal.com 2008-06-13 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
waving the genfic flag over here! (and yeah, i like wincest and het as well :p)

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-06-13 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Like I said, I do love gen. When it's on the show, and I really don't mind it in small doses in fanfic, but yeah. I like my slashy fic. A lot.

[identity profile] bitterbird.livejournal.com 2008-06-13 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
I heart big bang!
but Fire of Fire was so worth reading even if it is porn free *hides*

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-06-13 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I read that one because I know [livejournal.com profile] lemmealone and enjoy her work. I'm not brave enough to take a chance on a gen fic by someone I don't know but I will take a chance on a slashy fic. *nods*

[identity profile] allzugern.livejournal.com 2008-06-13 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
I understand the need for gen even less than the need for SPN het. *shudders*

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-06-13 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahaha. Right?!

I have decided that your Jared icon needs an earring.

Uhm, ok.

[identity profile] zsuness.livejournal.com 2008-06-14 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
wah, damnit. When I read you love Big (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zGgPeAew_T0) Bang (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=57GPGTOwSPE), I got excited cause there's a Korean pop band called Big Bang which I kinda like. LOLZ I thought you were finally lured to the dark side of Asian fandoms. ;p /totally random and OT

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-06-14 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahaha. Nah, not yet anyway. But I listened to the second song and it was okay. :)

[identity profile] shades-of-hades.livejournal.com 2008-06-22 12:51 pm (UTC)(link)
DUDE. I feel your pain! [livejournal.com profile] annabeth_fics keeps making me read her Gen stories.... with ZERO. SEX. WHY!? Where's the butt-fucking when I want it? :(

(Nevermind all the porn she writes for me because I suck and I whine until she writes it. :P)

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2008-06-22 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahaha. What a COW! :P
