Holy cats, as if the discussion generated by my previous post wasn't enough, mimesere has posted a picspam on Norrington that has resulted in a really thought-provoking study of Norrington and Will's actions after Elizabeth was taken, and now she's got another one going about the question of whether Jack is a Hero or not. Oh, and then yesterday she wrote up a little rant blasting "darkfic" (which I totally agreed with, btw).

Gosh, why did it take me so long to friend this lady? I love this stuff!

Check it out, people!

Does "Dark" have to be faux?

[teresa-c.livejournal.com]

But, um, I LIKE hurt/comfort. I like it a lot. And, often, the more hurt the better the comfort. Couldn't darkfic just be feeding my kink, not necessarily trying to be faux deep? Doesn't darkfic ever have good characterizations? I think this, like many rants, is a little over-generalized.

I think the fic that set her off on this rant was one that had been posted to pirategasm earlier that day, in which the "hurt" element was overdone to a ridiculous extent--Norrington raped repeatedly, presumably so Jack could "heal" him with his magical sexual prowess (although I didn't read that far). Really, really bad.

I love h/c, too, as you may have noticed, but, like smut, I need it to have a certain touch of logic, plot and good writing.
