well behaved women

Well, this round of kink_bingo is completed. I only managed three bingos before the deadline, the result being a relatively paltry fifteen pieces of fanfiction. But I'm actually quite proud of a decent amount of them, so I think it's helped me get back in the groove, one way or another.

Porn battle is on once more! Prompts, anyone?

Strange snippets of my life: I've been listening to Samuel's YuGiOh anime (I'll try not to share my opinion of the Yugioh anime. Hint: it isn't good, especially since all he gets are dubs) going in the background all day. The name Noah is used, and variants of the term, "I WANT YOUR BODY!" and "I WILL HAVE YOUR BODY!" have been cycling. I swear, they don't go thirty seconds without it!

In other news, I got Ghostland from the library, actually checking it out only a day before the second book, which I won in a random draw, arrived. Unfortunately--it looked so very cool--it seems to be very so-so fare; the writing is mediocre, the characterization consisting of long and cliched descriptions of her loveliness and his godlike beauty and throbbing cock. They have instant overpowering sexual attraction for each other, blah blah blah. Then there's a scene--the morning after sex, she's having second thoughts, he comes into the bathroom and she tells him no. He ignores her. At this point I gave a convulsive shudder of horror and skimmed on flinchingly to see that he arouses her against her will until she asks him for it, and this is supposed to be romantic and somehow indicative of how romantical his forcefulness is and how strong their attraction is, sexual attraction meaning, in bad romance novels, true love.

Just--augh.

ETA: Also, every time he thinks of her, he gets hard. Seriously. He'll get hard, go on for a couple of paragraphs, think of her and get hard again. So presumably it comes and goes--all the blood coming to and fro must be getting whiplash. If there was a drinking game based on it...well, it would be a very successful drinking game.

To any who likes vampires--or, for that matter, doesn't like vampires but likes a good book--I would like to recommend Vivian Vande Velde's Companions of the Night. It's a fascinating story, and well written, and it doesn't really romanticize the vampires at all. It's a look at a modern predator through the eyes of a teenage girl, and Kerry is just lovely, scared but brave and tough and smart.

I was idling around looking at icons for Kerry, and I found this post of Natalie Portman. Not only is Natalie Portman a big name/face, but normally she's a much too polished type of gorgeous for Kerry. But those first icons, from Where the Heart Is, I think work temptingly okay.
