Degrees of Slash and Degrees of Squick

[webbgirl]

It was mentioned in one of my flists LJs today that there isn't enough rough sex in the SG fandom.  It makes me wonder why some fandoms are more open to that than others.

For instance, you find a large amount of BDSM related slash for the X-Files, yet there seems to be a far smaller proportion in SG fandom.  (Either that, or I haven't found the secret stash yet.) 

Are more of the writers from XF fandom less squicked by the whole idea?  I've even had an easier time finding those type of fics for TS fandom...and I've just started reading them.  Although, I suspect I have found more kindred spirits at this point...for which I'm eternally grateful.

Not a rant, just a pondering.  Maybe even a kick to my own muses to see what they can come up with.

WooHoo!

It's true about the h/c thing with SG. I see that a lot more here than in other fandoms I've read.

Yeah, I see it too. Don't get me wrong, I like H/c but sometimes I feel that its all there is. I would love to see more humourfics too and try to write them whenever the muse strikes (not often these days)

Kink is great - I cant write it myself so I have to rely on others to do it for me.
