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!

Mm kissing. I love kissing - I hate you kisses, sleepy cozy kisses, first kisses, millionth kisses, angry kisses, possessive kisses, teasing kisses. I think first kisses are my favorite though, especially if they aren't expected.

You forgot 'trio kisses' dear!

But I agree, any form of kissing will do :-)
