A position statement

[snorkackcatcher]

As you doubtless know, my fic output tends to be largely gen, and although I've written the occasional pure het fic and the even more occasional slash fic, it's relatively rare for the characters in them to actually be shown getting down 'n' dirty. And the stories display a thoroughly pedantic obsession with canon compatibility.

However, I've been brooding over a number of posts that have appeared on metafandom recently, and have come to the conclusion that I may have been taking a suboptimal approach to fic writing. The style above does nothing to challenge established orthodoxies, is needlessly exclusionary about a topic of major importance, and it doesn't bring in nearly as many readers.

Basically, UR DOIN IT RONG.

So from now on, all further fictional output on this journal (and of course snorkfics) will be exclusively NC-17. While it may occasionally contain pairings that are considered canon where these are of general interest (e.g. Remus/Sirius), I will be concentrating initially on exploring the more outré ships. As a token of this, here's a little ficlet that I threw together this morning:

Title: Harry's Ideal Family
Rating: NC-17 (duh)
Length: 1,500 words
Summary: Harry has always wanted to be part of a family like this ...
Ships: Harry/Ron, Harry/Bill, Harry/Charlie, Harry/Percy, Harry/Fred/George, Harry/Ron/Bill/Charlie/Percy/Fred/George/Errol
Warnings: I don't do warnings. Read at your own risk.



I'm sure you didn't take it seriously. :D
