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!

Wow -- I was a bit surprised to see my fandom discussion linked from a Buffy comm -- probably because I'm not active in that fandom.

Funny though, cave_canem has been enticing me with the Xander/Wesley pairing, and I must admit the Buffyverse intrigues me.

Thanks for coming over and responding! I've went ahead and friended the comm.

Oh yeah, and post coital kisses? HOT!

Xander/Wesley? Yum. Xander is my woobie, and the Buffyverse fandom stuffed full of wonderful fics, so yeah. Hope the enticement works on you. Always glad to have more Xanderlove!
