Quickly my friends!
1/4/13 09:54 pmRec me the hottest *and* smartest Wincest you've ever read! It can be J2 as well, I'm easy. I just want that it should be more than 'insert part into slot A' type of porn. I say this because the amount of porn this fandom produces is exhausting and not all of it is worth clicking on. Like anything, of course. Every box of chocolates have, ick, caramels in them. Some are disguised as delicious truffles but bite them and they reveal themselves to be--*caramels*! Nasty, sticky, cling to your teeth and gums bastards. They're only good when they're melted and drizzled over ice-cream.
Okay, this post is not about chocolates or ice-cream. Though both have their place in porn. Actually, not the ice-cream so much as the caramel sauce. This is where caramels are completely forgiven for their solid state because they transform into this tasty, smooth, sweet little minute in heaven...*happy sigh*. So good!
Dang, we kind of jumped the tracks on porn again. *koff* YES WE DID.
perverts.
See, I'm just curious about what y'all think makes good porn. Example? One of my favorite series,Escort AU by
bewaretheides15, is what I think of as hot, smart porn. (well, me and the world) I love that she turns this idea of what a dom/sub relationship is on it's head--or maybe reveals the twists and turns a relationship like this can have. (I don't know. I think I'm being kinky if I leave a lamp on and unbutton the top button on my flannel nightie.) The sex is smoking hot, the writing is seductive all by itself and there's banter and Happy Jared and Sad Jared and Unsure But Toppy Jensen. It's a treat to read and experience this unfolding relationship. And that's just one story that I like very much. And I like it because it made me think a little bit about relationships like that, and how it can be about many things and be happening on many levels, stumble along but right itself eventually--just like real life. Except the partners are insanely good-looking.

heart's Desires Series Archived Here: http://gila.faking-sanity.net/spn.html
An author called Montana on The Slash Archive
Lodi, by you. :)
Anything by
I have several favorites by
For me all of these have something in common - fabulous use of sexual tension, porn that doesn't leave me with the feeling I could insert different characters and it would still work, smoking hot sex and better than average way with prose.

1/5/13 07:45 pm (UTC)And all your choices are fabulous (thank you so much, by the way! *blush*). Every one of those writers are great, and yourself as well. I have read a few pieces by stripysockette and agree with you there too.

1/5/13 07:59 pm (UTC)These stories are what I mean by smart and what we so often refer to as porn when what we really mean is this; we want hot sex, suspended in a brilliant story that makes us think along the way. ;)

1/5/13 08:08 am (UTC)If, however, you want a straight up PWP then please allow me to rec Find a Spark by the above author. It does have underlying sorta-kinda plottiness that just lends a little extra something to it, but mostly it's PWP. I thought of it because you mentioned D/s in your post. I'm not much for D/s, but I love S&M--a subject not many people tackle, at least not where they know wtf they're talking about--but in Find a Spark, Lustmordred does just that. It's straight up S&M and it's written with a deft hand by someone who knows what's really up. Brilliant, in my opinion.
Going to shut up now, I swear.

1/5/13 08:36 pm (UTC)How do you worry about going on and on when you've read my responses? Lol!!

1/6/13 04:24 am (UTC)D/s seems like an almost entirely mental/psychological state, wherein masochism at least tends to also be a physical want/need. And fun factoid: There's a disorder called alolagnia (think I spelled that right) where the nerve endings misinterpret pain as pleasure. Now, tbh, that would be kind of scary to me and yet, it's also fascinating. Sadism is a mindset, I suppose, but it also doesn't mean that everyone who's the S to someone else's M is a budding serial killer or rapist either. Popular media/culture have really given the terms "sadist" and "sadism" incredibly ugly connotations. I suppose I find the S&M dynamic so much more interesting than D/s (excepting lifestyle D/s) because a lot of it reads like some kind of slap-and-tickle suburbanite weekend roleplaying thing. Mind, I don't mean all D/s, but a lot of it does and the lack of knowledge involved in writing it is really appalling a lot of the time. Again: It comes across as rapey and abusive and wrong in such a bad, bad way. S&M is a much more raw form of kink (again: bad wording, jfc) and it's not something you (generally speaking) can play at: Either you are or you aren't, it's not a fun game to play while the kiddies are away at camp for the week.
And dear lord, I meant to leave you a short reply and I've sat here and editorialized instead. What's wrong with me? *facepalm*
P.S. Burns do hurt like a motherfucker, but I loved that part of the fic. She went there, you know? Lol.

1/6/13 06:13 am (UTC)[D/s] reads like some kind of slap-and-tickle suburbanite weekend roleplaying thing.
Yeah, and I have this awful habit of kicking myself out of fics like this by wondering how they incorporate this lifestyle with raising kids.

1/6/13 09:14 am (UTC)Ugh. Don't get me started on kidfic or any of that. And heh, I had the misfortune of running across a real life *shakes head* D/s-er a few years back via a friend's f-list. She had several kids. It was disturbing. It's not that I think a person can't be kinky and have children at all. Things would need to be carefully balanced, I'm sure, but it could be done. However, some of the crap that woman did was flat-out endangering her children. Wow. I mean. Just. Yeah. Also, she over-shared in the most disgusting way(s) possible. It's been like... ten years... damn near it and I still have a couple of gems BURNED IN MY BRAIN. I may have to share those on my journal later. Feel my pain, f-list. :P

1/6/13 04:34 am (UTC)If I might rec another of her fics--my favorite of hers by far--then allow me to offer you, There's a Hell of a Universe Next Door. There's no kinky sex in it--barely any sex at all--but it is MAGNIFICENT and I can't rec that damned story enough. I want to print it out and snuggle it; that's how much I love it. <3 x Infinity

1/5/13 04:09 pm (UTC)I find food and sex do *not mix*. Unless you're taking me out to a lovely steak dinner after or something. I just...ew. Ew, ew, ew.
And, now, also, i want a damn box of mixed chocolates. But no dark chocolate. DNW!
*flails*
And of *course* i can't rec you anything because the second anyone asks anything like that my brain shuts down.

1/5/13 08:41 pm (UTC)How can we remain friends now that I know this thing about you????

Which makes me sad and envious, but still in love with them.

1/5/13 08:52 pm (UTC)I've read Gillian's work but it's been a while, time to reread! And I know I've read the Taelynhawker story that you've recced but my sieve-like mind refuses to hack up any clues which means they're on the list to reread. one of the benefits of a crappy memory, everything old is new again! ;)

1/6/13 12:10 pm (UTC)Umm, other fics I re-read all the time and have great sex scenes are:
Restraint by Dark Emeralds, http://archiveofourown.org/works/61002/chapters/80646
Screw you we're from Texas by make it take it http://makeit-takeit.livejournal.com/7249.html
In Becoming who we are by Elizah Jane http://elizah-jane.livejournal.com/84873.html
They're all J2 and are super long! What I like about them is the long slow build and lots of UST, before the J2 actually starts to get going. But when it does get going the sex is amazing and feels really well earned and genuinely emotional. I do love a wham-bam PWP, but sometimes it's nice to have to really go through a lot and get to know the characters before they come together. Weirdly, I can't think of any Sam/Dean right now, though I've read tons of it ;-) I will come back if I do!

1/6/13 08:42 pm (UTC)Restraint...that story set my whole understanding of RPS right on its head. She's brilliant,
What I like about them is the long slow build and lots of UST, before the J2 actually starts to get going
Yes! That's what I like too. I know that there's a certain amount of knowledge about the characters we carry into the stories (though J2 is kind of a thing to itself--we don't really know anything about them except snippets here and there and the Jared and Jensen they play at cons and in interviews.) but it's fun to get to know the writers version of these people and how they fit into our own personal canon.
I look forward to your Sam and Dean recs. Maybe you know this one, it's my favorite--World's Forgotten Boys? (see what I did there? A subtle hint and compliment and the wee-est bit of a poke... *koff*)
