Jan. 11th, 2012 06:16 pmDay 11: In your own space, ask for recs. Something as simple as "I like XYZ (where XYZ is a kink, a pairing, a trope, etc) - please rec me some." Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Superpowers. I'm a firm believer that everything is better with superpowers - the more 'ordinary' the fandom that suddenly gets them, the better - and if anyone knows of anything particularly special, let me know.
Werewolves. That is, werewolves that turn into wolves where their wolf part is actually like a wolf. Wolf-man hybrid-type beings are one thing, but wolves are another. To be more precise, werewolves that don't have alpha-beta-omega packs, or large-scale packs at all, or have soul-bonded mates for life, and instead live in smaller units, fall in and out of love, and, if at all possible, give birth to litters. I've done it myself, and I want to know if anyone else has as well or if I'm alone in fandom for using this take on the mythology.
There's a trope I love which I haven't ever been able to find a name for, so I just call it "person-as-object". Think the movie Danny the Dog/Unleashed, or parts of The Incredible Hulk where Banner's held hostage and treated as a test subject by the government. That sort of thing. I have no idea where my love of this came from, and like I said, I don't even know what to call it, but if anyone knows what I'm talking about, please don't hesitate to speak up about it.
For fandom-specific recs, if anyone knows of any Supernatural fics that either treat angels as multidimensional wavelengths of celestial intent who are separate from their vessels and aren't bound by mortal laws and physical needs, or are entirely physical beings without any divinity inherent in their nature, I'd love to read them. I see a lot of conflation of these two states, and it always gets under my skin.
