They’re just too fluffy for me. The few I’ve read never have anything happen in them. I need some kind of drama or I’m gonna lose interest fast. I am almost 1000% sure I will never write one.
@rosemoonweaver I was following someone that once reblogged a post and put in their tags that they didn’t understand why all fics weren’t just happy and fluffy because fanfic is a happy place in a sad world. Like, more power to you for your decision person – you read your fluff and happy endings, no skin off my teeth – but to me?
Fanfic is a happy place but it’s also a form of entertainment and I expect to be entertained, you know? Give me some drama and angst and a hopeful ending (or even a heartbreaking ending or cliffhanger – I just want to be intrigued!).
The only real “traditional” one I wrote was my Sam/Jess/Brady and I used it for RSCC anti-valentine’s day. It was like 1k of dull, boring, tooth rotting fluff that I still dislike because I feel like nothing happened.
If all fic was happy and fluffy I wouldn’t be reading or writing it tbh. I’m 100% with you there. I love a happy ending, but make it worth it. Give me some heartache, some mystery, some danger, just something.
I can only maintain interest in something fluffy for about 1.5k without feeling the need to have something else happen. I think that’s the perfect length for a slice of life fic, which is the perfect place for fluff for me. But I cannot maintain enthusiasm much longer than that.
lbr though, nothing actually happens in a coffee shop au ever. Unless you make the coffee shop like, idk, a cover for some kind of illegal outfit, it’s gonna be tooth rotting fluff.
Oh my god coffeeshop AU/mafia AU – this needs to be written.
Jimmy and Castiel Novak are a couple of sweet guys running a super cute coffee shop in the middle of the city. But what no one knows is that they’re using the coffeeshop as a cover for drug smuggling for the local mafia family. Detective Dean Winchester might be getting close to cracking the case – if those twins would just stop feeding him their delicious lattes and cakes…
Oh my god, yes, please! I need that!
Ahaha I would read the hell out of it, but I’ve never even considered writing a mafia fic before lol.
lol. It could be fun, though. You might enjoy it…
I’ve never had much interest in the mafia in general, I wouldn’t do it justice. Plus I’ve never really written dcj – Honestly there’s a ton of other authors that’d do it better – y’all are free to take the idea and run with it.
That’s fair. If you’re not interested writing a whole fic is probably not a good idea.
Just gonna throw this out there, though, but dcj shippers tend to be… excitable is a good word for it. If you ever did want to try your hand at it we’d be very appreciative. Just sayin’.
Yes! I didn’t mean to imply I’d never write it – I want to write DCJ sooooo badly. I’d just rather dip my toes in at first – I’m thinking of writing them for one of my kink bingo squares actually, I just need to decide which.
😀 *is very excited*
Now, I’m intrigued. Any particular ones you’re leaning towards?
Well I’m kinda leaning toward objectification (bottom/sub Dean). But I have voyeurism which would be fun too – but I have a great Wincest idea for that so I’m super torn on that square. And then there’s finger sucking which would also work for DCJ bottom/sub Dean – but again – that one I’m leaning more toward Wincest with bottom/sub Sam or even Sastiel/past Wincestiel while Dean’s a demon – Sam kinda regresses and sometimes can’t sleep without sucking Cas’ fingers – less a kink for that one and more just angst.
All of those sound awesome!
I’m pretty partial to voyeurism with Wincest myself, but that’s just my opinion. Also, I dig the idea of sastiel/past wincestiel with all that angst. I’d be interested to see whatever you wind up writing though, for all of those squares.
