castalieDo you sometimes ponder about the differences from one fandom to another? I mean, usually, I don't really care, I read my fandoms, and in essence they're quite similar. I find the same kind of stories, just written differently of course - I eventually find the same intensity from TS to SG or XF for instance. Sure, I find more BDSM stories in XF - or I used to - and I wish they were more dark stories in SG, but overall, the hard core slasher in me is always satisfied by what I find in those main fandoms of mine.
And that's why I'm always surprised when I try the DS fandom again. Yesterday, I was recced a very nice archive - hey, there were Fraser and Torture in the title! - and after spending my night reading DS fics from said archive, I came to the realization that this fandom is really too tame for me.
Well, it wasn't that big of a revelation, I mean, I knew it already, but it just confirmed what I thought. I'm not saying the stories I read were bad, don't get me wrong, they were nice, well written, sure, and I'm not saying there is no dark stories in that fandom, of course not - but overall even the darkest of them were just... sorta tame to me. I really wonder where it comes from, this feeling. I mean, those stories are supposed to be dark, you know? And I didn't feel it. I saved lots of them, and only ended up with keeping a few, because even though they were good, well, they weren't what I look for in a dark or intense story. I think I've been totally spoiled with TS, XF or SG.
Still, I thank![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ckr and duesouthficrecs for pointing those stories *g*
Now, since I'm on the subject of stories I read yesterday night, the fics I found at the Library of Moria so didn't disappoint me! *schnuzzles fics*
They were really great. And I'm definitely in love with Aragorn/Faramir and Boromir/Faramir. I think I'm going to hunt those pairings from now on *g* Aragorn/Legolas is still great, but that I already knew, so it wasn't a surprise *g*
Also, my new partner in crimestalecorruption gave me a link to a BDSM LoTR archive, so see me smile - or see me smirk *eg*
Can you tell that I had a great reading night yesterday - and that there's a good chance I'm going to do it again tonight? *g*
