FANFIC

[Catlady (Rita Prince Winston)]

Dina reviewed a fanfic in
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-OTChatter/message/27526 :

<< My qualm is that the writer had managed to de-sexualize the
intimacy between two characters by disassociating their sexual body
parts. I included the phrasing to look at it from an analytical
standpoint of personal and sexual identity. How I perceived the scene
was... as if their genitalia were separate entities >>

I found that bit of story not at all arousing, which is a whole nother
question: what writing is arousing to what readers why? I don't know
if this list is too PG-13 to hold that discussion here, or that's my
excuse for being prudish... 

But I don't think the problem is that the 'Mary' character speaks as
if their genitalia were separate people. (The first-person narrator
said: "I hit my target again", not "Mr Cock hit his target again.") I
mean, apparently a number of people do that in Real Life as well as in
other literary works which are considered 'hot'. I haven't actually
read LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER (and probably wouldn't like it if I did)
but it is famous for dialogue about 'John Thomas' and 'Lady Jane'.

<< Has anyone ever written a fanfic where First-Year Harry accepted
the Sorting Hat's suggestion and allowed himself be sorted into
Slytherin? >>

I read some fanfic back in the days when the HP section ToC on FFN was
only 56 pages long, and one was a 'novel-length' about Slyth!Harry
which IIRC was titled 'Slytherin Pride'. I don't remember if that's
the story in which Harry and Ron met on the train and shared food
without Draco interference, but after Harry was Sorted into Slytherin,
he came face to face with Ron and tried to greet him, but Ron turned
away in disgust from the Slythie. (FFN is http://www.fanfiction.net  )

FictionAlley has forums for recommending fics by character, topics,
etc, so maybe there's one for that sort of AU. FA is at
