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!

I'd say there's an under abundance of kissing because there's an over abundance of rape. (And way too much bonding/comedy rape/forced to marry fic. Shudder).

I love the kissing - but as to writing it, that depends on the pairing. I don't see Snape/Sirius having long, sweet, affectionate make out sessions.

Hagrid, on the other hand, would be a face eater.

LOL, I can see that, with Hagrid.

"Snape wasn't all that fond of kissing, but Hagrid was, and he would frequently be acosted by the half giant, grabbed off his feet and find himself being enthusiastically slobbered over. The big mouth would cover his, along with his nose,chin and and a good area of his cheeks. And as Hagrid's lung capacity was greater than his, he often had to slap Hagrid to get himself released before he suffocated under the hairy rush of affection...."
