A Fanfic Challenge

[fabrisse]

I want exotic -- location, act, pairing. I want PWP. I want Lush.

I was over at www.Lush.com and noticed that they had some products that sounded like fic titles. Now I want someone to write the fic to go with them. Any rating. If I get more than 10, I'll find someone to set up a web page for it.

Take me away from all this.

Please.

A Lush title challenge would be fabulous indeed.

Your day is brighter? So's my Midnight! So, do I want to do Jack/Daniel and entitle it Hot Java? Or perhaps some hot Clex called Mr. Butterball? Wesley/Lorne in some combination suggested by a completely different product?

So much porn, so little time in which to write it. Sigh.

Still... (goes to happy place) I'm sure I can come up with something.

Interesting that you should bring up the possibility of man's perfectability. The old saw that "an optimist believes that we live in the best possible world; the pessimist fears that this is true," seems appropriate.

When I was taking an American history course from my dad in 1980 (Just before the election), he noted that the Liberal movement of the 19th century was essentially optimistic. It said that humanity could be perfected and that legislation could help build that better world. This was the base on which the 20th century Civil Rights movement rested.

Conservatives believed that man was on a slow decline and that the best thing we could do is preserve the status quo or maybe recapture a better moment from the immediate past (the Golden Age was too far back to be aimed at). Reagan won the election by promising morning in America, where it looked like the 1930s without the Depression.

I think this may link to my moment of satori in WHSmith all those years ago. Science Fiction may be inherently liberal (after all no matter how dystopian there is a future); fantasy may lean toward conservatism, or, at the very least, a taste for it may reflect a more conservative wider society.
