Ew ew ew ew ewwwwww!
Nov. 23rd, 2003 05:26 pmEver write something that squicks you? I mean, bigtime? Something you never thought you'd write? And yet, it just bursts out from your fingers or your mind or somewhere. And it's icky?
I was writing a Draco-based sneezefic from Snape's pov. And all was going well. I was avoiding every possible Snape/Draco insinuation and move. Everything was all well and good. And then, suddenly, Snape makes the story flashback to his first year at Hogwarts. So I'm thinking, okay, that's fine. I can draw some nice parallels between the Malfoys... and then YICK! Underage sex! Right then and there! And I'm not even sure if it's consensual! ICKNESS! I mean, okay, by American courts the way they are today, it probably would be judged willing, but it's still underage sex... and from an outsider perspective, no, uh-uh, it was SO forced it's not even funny. And ewwwwwwww! That is SO not my thing!
Gah... I *was* writing it for the challenge... one of the word challenges... bunny, I dunno, 13 or something. I don't have them memorized. And now I'm all ICK! Who in their right mind would want to read this as a challenge submission? Okay, so, yeah, the Draco bits are great. ANd damnit, I SO channeled Snape. It's lovely. But the implied sex? YICK! Why the heck would anyone want to read that as a holiday present? LOL! I'm thinking of finishing it and just scrapping it at this point. I'm really squicking myself out here. It's just NOT right for stuff like that to pop so easily out of my head and scare me! LOL!
