For the most part, I'd have to say that yes, there is a distinct lack of steamy, passionate kissing. At least, well-done ones. *grumbles* However, those authors that do it and do it well are guaranteed a gold star and bookmark on my fav. list. There is NOTHING like a good kiss in a fic. It usually can outdo any actual love-makingfucking that can come later. *shivers* There are times that the kiss can be far more intimate and hot than them actually getting naked and groiny together.
Should kissing be bypassed with some pairings? (Extreme and utter hatred, implausibility, etc.) If so, let us know what they are.
I've yet to see any pairing that absolutely, positively should be bypassed. All it takes is a good author to bend their skills to making it plausible and workable. It can be done. It HAS been done.
What makes or breaks a kiss for you?
Oddly enough, it's usually the author that makes or breaks it for me. It's all how they write it and how they carry it off that gets me. If they can get me well and truly involved in it, I'll adore it. If it's just there, and I can't get into it, it usually doesn't make my list of Awesome Kisses.
