Fandom Discussion -- Kissing in fanfiction -- I hate your fucking guts but let's kiss anyway!

Perhaps it's me, but is there a lack of really steamy and passionate kissing in fics?

It probably doesn't help that I thrive on;

a.) antagonistic pairings
b.) darkfic
c.) Snape and his lousy oral hygiene

Not exactly a breeding ground for 'Casablanca' and 'Gone With the Wind' style passion, I know.

I'm posing a couple of questions here.

How important is kissing in a story for you?

Should kissing be bypassed with some pairings? (Extreme and utter hatred, implausibility, etc.) If so, let us know what they are.

What makes or breaks a kiss for you?

What was the hottest kiss you've ever read in a fic? Link if you can, please. I've been craving kissing too. Don't read nearly enough, dammit!

Bonus points if someone can rec me kissing in a Snape/Black fic that's plausible.

Anything else you want to mention about kissing in fics? By all means!

Got here by way of dracorocksmysox.

I have not read a lot about kissing, I must say. I love kissing - I wish more characters would kiss! But I prefer the tender kissing. Passionate kissing is harder to write and I can't think of a place where it was done. Actually...well, it wasn't passionate, but devon_may was writing A Different Kind Of You for a while there...it's been a while so I'm sorry, but I don't have the link. But that's Harry/Draco, not Snape/Sirius (which I haven't read as often, sorry). You can find it in her user info, though.

Anyway, I love kissing. I can't really think of anything else to say on the subject. So here's a short poem, I guess:

Kissing is the best thing ever
Those who write it are quite clever
I love reading it everywhere
It makes me shiver as I stare
At my screen, at hot, hot words
Now I'll go and feed some birds.

Yep.

Clever poem!

No worries on finding a Snack kiss. Very hard to come by.
