pondering past stories, and sharing one

[mickeym]

So, reading LJ this afternoon, turps33 has a entry that contained the following comment:

Today I'm celebrating Easter by alternately reading stories at a Waycest comm and adultfanfic.net. So far I've read about anorexia, cutting, rape, depression, prostitution, incest, much crying and willowy limbs. I feel bestiality and necrophilia are needed to complete the set. (emphasis is mine)

I responded that only in fandom could you find a sentence like that last one, and have it make sense. *g* And then I realized Hey, I've written both! (Though not in the same story *g*)

And THAT got me to thinking about stories I've written in past fandoms, including the one that contains (technically, only by the strictest, barest definition) necrophilia. So I went back and re-read it...and y'know, I have to say I think it's one of the best stories I've ever written, in any fandom. It's not a new story, or even recent. The timestamp on the page says March, 2002. But yeah, I think it's one of the strongest, cleanest stories I've ever done:

Title: Submission
Fandom: Highlander
Pairing: Methos/Kronos
Rating: NC-17
Warnings:Knife-play, blood-letting, bondage, s/m, erotic asphyxiation, implied necrophilia (if I hadn't mentioned it, you probably won't notice it)
Disclaimer: They're not mine, and never will be.
Summary: Kronos needs something from Methos he can't ask for.

Hee! Thanks :) And there's a question in the comment below about bandom stories with those warnings; you're in a much better position to tell her than I am, if you'd be willing?

Dude, I have NO idea, I haven't read bandslash in ages. I know there was some weird shit on mychemslash, and emo bands do tend to bring out the gangraping cannibal gangster types.
