Guilty Pleasures
Because it's almost 5am, and I still can't get to sleep.
stultiloqentia recently posted a drinking game for Spuffy smut fic. It's a list of words you're sure to have seen a time or two (except for, you know, gnomon). Of course, "cold dead seed" makes an appearance.
Also, a while back,
kita0610 had an outing for the old schoolers who invented things like Buffy's vanilla scent. They're those things that get used again and again. And again.
And on
stultiloqentia's list? I was surprised to realize I don't care how over-used it is, I still find the primal roar/whisper "Mine!" sexy. I also get turned on by Buffy's "tiny hands" (in Angel's broad ones), even though it's in every single fic on ff.net, the unsexiest place in the whole wide world.
I've managed to convince myself I'm not the only one.
So come on. What are those "I don't care how many times I see it, I still like it"s? Okay, it might be more of a "I don't care how many other people misuse it, I still like it if it's done right", but you have one, don't you? You like seeing Spike say "Da" or "Yes, Sire," or "Xanpet". You like Buffy's mossy green eyes and Angel's chocolate ones. You like it when _____'s mouth is like satin and ______'s spunk tastes like honey. You like it when Buffy finds out Angel married her without telling her when he put the Claddagh ring on her finger. You like seeing Angel spelled "Angle". What's your cliché-kink?

If you throw in a eeny bit of the odd slither of purring and maybe a dash of the height cliche (because DM and tall = yum!) though as long as Angel doesn't end up resembling the Jolly Green Giant and Spike is turned into a fey hobbit, these are pretty much my guilty pleasures. That and making fictional vampires have sex with each other; that alone is pretty much the biggie of my guilty pleasures.

Can an ongoing basic plot point be considered a guilty pleasure?

I'm of the squished kitten mind-frame. I don't really give a rat's ass if you read kitten/Xander!porn and omg it was so cute and sexy--please, please watch the show and remember that Spike doesn't have wings and Xander only fucks kittens on Wednesdays, not Saturdays, you dimwit.
But because I do almost always approach fic from that angle, I was ashamed by the cliches I did like. And I was surprised to find I was ashamed, because I have no shame!!! Sadly, most of the authors on my flist are such great authors (sadly and thankgodfully) that the cliches they like don't involve leopard suits. Speaking of which, I hope you don't mind if I friend you. I always get linked to your posts anyway.
