Man! We're not certain of a lot of things in life but I know something that never ever fails to happen, namely Listsib A requests Jim/Blair DD at the TS storyfinder ML, therefore Listsibs B & C & D & E etc.... will rec anti-DD, because people are so very tolerant of others' tastes *is so very sarcastic too* It just never fails, a fact of life, almost. A little as if someone requested some fluffy J/B and people sent a list of fluffy fics which would include a non-con J/B as well and then followed with every non-con they could think of. Only of course, if someone did that, there would be hell to play - as it should. And this isn't a criticism towards people who hate the genre, btw. I actually understand why someone would hate it, it's not a problem for me. I just dislike people who try to show you how wrong you are in liking something different *shrug*

And now we have people asking for DD when, in fact, they're looking for anti-DD - damn, confuse me us much? Some people say they don't like labels, but I, for one, love them because it makes things easier. In particular when we're talking about fics, in particular when we're talking about such a delicate genre.

On an unrelated note, OMG Apophis was in the second episode of tonight's Mysterious Ways! And he was all kind and generous and loving and eek all human without, you know, a snake in his head making his eyes glow and incidentally making him evil. Wow. Where have the false gods gone? Speaking of which - my beloved Miranda? Is Dr. Brightman. I was watching Lockdown last week and squeed when I realised who was there. I'll never get tired of this game. N.e.v.e.r!

On another unrelated and even more random-ey note, being distracted can actually have funny results: I was searching for a download of Call On Me by Eric Prydz and wrote Bring It On instead because as everyone knows, 'call on me' is actually spelled 'bring it on' *rolls eyes* Anyway, I was going to do a new search when my my, I was suddenly facing a list of downloads from the Bring It On soundtrack and eeek Hey Mickey was right there! That's when I suddenly realised that I would love to have that song on my playlist, so I downloaded it and I've been listening to it, like, for hours. So, [livejournal.com profile] babycakesin when/if you see this? When Linus will have its cord back, if you want the song? Just let me know *g*

PS: Challenges #79 and #80 of Sentinel Thursday have been uploaded at the archive and Challenge #81 has been sent today so it should be up soon. Also, Terri and I are being so organised that we even included a little update announcement thingie on the homepage so that people know when something is new. Aren't we being all webmistress-ey and everything? *preens*

Catching up on the TS Storyfinders list, it did remind me of a story I loved "Slaves of Prantell" Totally not related to the DD topic, but one I recall reading so very long ago. I wish I could find it completed (as the list is discussing)

I'm afraid this story will be one of those fics no-one ever finds again. Always so sad when it happens *sniffles*

It is indeed sad:( Though, I got off-track and actually found some old TS disability stories that I missed, so not a total loss.

I just love this ML to pieces because there's always something new to find, even after years of involvement in the fandom *g*

I'm sorry, "DD" fic? I've just sat here for two minutes trying to think of what that stands for, but I... have nothing. Little help?

I'm sure you heard of it, it's the Domestic Discipline theme, wittily DD for short *g* Definitely not a genre for everyone, which I'm okay with, but a lot of people are so squicked about it that they jump on anyone who would dare like that 'shameful' kind - one of those never-ending fandom issues, you know?

Er, I have to admit I'm not sure what Domestic Discipline even is. lol Is is kinky S&M or... something else?

Date: 2005-03-13 08:00 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] babycakesin.livejournal.com
hum... maybe I can try and answer that one: domestic discipline is for instance, if Blair breaks a houserule and gets a spanking for it. Mouse will develop much more later I think lol

Well see, DD is odd enough that it can be either kinky S&M or not at all. Ie, some stories will contain DD but will be kink first. That's not exactly what I consider a DD story myself. DD is a category in and of itself which is not kinky S&M or anything since it can be either slash or gen - yeah, lots of DD fics are in fact gen stories. It's a sort of, say, universe where it's okay for one character to spank the other each time said character breaks a rule they previously both consented on.

Most people are squicked by this because they see DD as a form of domestic abuse when in fact most DD lovers see it as just something else. Not that we even believe such relationships can work in RL, it's just that in fanfic? It can be a theme one enjoys, like any other weird or odd theme there is out there *g* I see it as something else myself, something special just outside the realm of what we know of the characters or stuff like that *shrug*

::nods:: I get that. I wonder if part of people's objection to DD comes from a more limited idea of the roles two people can play in one another's lives. Like, Jim is Blair's partner, so he can't also assume paternalistic duties. One or the other, but not both.

Personally, I disagree. Most real life relationships are much more complicated than either/or, don't you think?

Oh...me again...*waves*

Challenge #79? Naomi Strikes Again...I wrote a fic for that challenge too. I know I did. *pouts* Come to think of it, I think a few others of mine are missing from the archive. But it's really no big deal. Except since I mentioned it, maybe it is...*is non-committal* *shrugs*

Long time no see *waves back*

Oh man, sorry! I'll go back to the comm and see what I missed. Really sorry *facepalm* As for the others? You don't happen to remember the names and the challenges, do you? Seriously, I'm sorry and feel kinda bad now *sigh*

Date: 2005-03-13 12:16 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] maaaaa.livejournal.com
No No No....don't feel bad...it's *me*...Ms I Never Pimp Myself...LOL...so no feeling bad, young lady. I don't remember the names or challenges, I looked them up when you and Terri first updated the archive...which, btw, looks great & you two webmistress-y ladies are wonderful *hugs*...but I don't remember any more. So yeah, no big deal. Forget I brought it up.

Weeell, from a selfish point of view, I'll tell you that the fact that you don't really remember which fics are missing kinda relieve me a little. Yes, being self-centered can be nice for one's peace of mind, why do you ask? lol Should you remember, just let me know, I'll add them, no problem at all.

And thank you so much for the compliments regarding the archive. We're quite happy with and proud of it, but when the compliments come from someone else, it's even better, as you can imagine *g*

hell yeah I'll want the song! you'll just have to wait a little before sending it at the moment - Clark, don't crash, okay? thanks *smootches* you don't happen to have the 'I'm sexy I'm cute...' song on MP3 would you?

I thought so *g* It'll wait for you, no problem. And nope, sorry I don't have that other song on my HD.

I actually know what you're talking about!

Which in this case is probably not a good thing. What gets me is the original request wasn't for a DD at all but that's what she asked for. I mean, there's a huge difference between anti DD and DD.

As for the rest *preens too*

Date: 2005-03-13 11:53 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com
Exactly! She was asking for an anti-DD, I mean it's not the same story! I think people should do their homework first *g* We have enough problem as it is when it's a proper DD fic that is requested *rolls eyes*
