I read your opinions on the war. And I thought about it. And I realised that I agree with you and at the same time don't. And I tried to bring this across in a post in a hopefully coherent, thoughtful, completely logical kind of way. And guess what? I read it , blushed and deleted everything I had written. And because even this short declaration makes me seem the dumbest dumb person on earth (besides Saddam, Dubya and several other leading politicians, but that's beside the point) I'll shut up now. And say that I agree 99% with you on smut. The 1% rebellion originates from the fact that I do enjoy well-written smut immensely. As long as it's the right pairing (because I'm terribly obsessive about my OTP(s). If the story couples, lets say, Dom off with Viggo or Orlando with one of the Seans, I won't read it. No matter how fabulous the author, how brilliant the concept. That's my claim to narrow-mindedness and I cling to it like a mother to her first-born). But I need good characterization and a believable concept in "my" smut just as much as every reader does. And it's always nice if a tasteful amount of sappiness is thrown in for good measure. I'm a sucker for all that I-love-and-adore-you-and-what-we-have-is-so-much-more-than-just-sex scenario.
P.S.:*frowns* That somehow wasn't much better than my own personal Iraq disaster prior to my second attempt at a decent comment, was it? Oh well. I just can't do eloquent. But, nope, no defriending from me either. 'Cause I adore your stories and appreciate your views on all kinds of things. Yeah. *smiles
