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!

Have read everything by Fabula :-)

I'll work up to a Snack kiss sooner or later in one of my fics.

Do it and let me know, when you are going to post it.
I would kill for a good written Snack. (Especially for a good written romantic Snack;))

Oh, it's so NOT romantic, but it's very long and a gift for amanuensis1.

If you like Snack and haven't read mine, I invite you to do so. Links are on my info page :-)

Well I can read a not romantic Snack as well. I already faced the fact, that when I want one then I should write it by myself. ;)

But thanks, I will check your stories. I have to continue in my writing and need to get in mood for it. Sometimes this is worse than sex!
