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

[themostepotente]

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!

It may be a cliché, but I also really like kissing when one or both of the people involved are crying. Or if it's raining. Kissing is great when there's water involved, heheh.

Oh, I love rain in fics. And dammit, it doesn't have to include the kissing. Just a nice wet fuck :-)
