Excitement!
Mar. 26th, 2003 11:27 amI've sent off my registration form for Connotations. My first con of any kind, ever. I can't wait to meet people.
Remus/Sirius
I have gone into a severe Remus/Sirius 'must read' mode. My real kink (using my shiny new (for me) definition of kink: something you like to see in a story, a lot) for these two is to read about them as adults, which seems comparitively rare in the fandom, compared to the amount of people who like to write about them as teenagers. The adult thing for me comes from the angst potential. I'm not saying that they don't have it as teenagers -Lupin's a werewolf, what could be angstier? But the power dynamics of teenagers falling in love doesn't affect me as much those of grown men doing the same thing. Maybe because there's that much more at risk when you're older and your life's a bit of a mess. There's more to counterpoint the love, to give it a setting.
