For This Is A Volvo, The Caravan's Friend.

It seems that, no matter where I decide my limits fanfiction-wise are, I am always completely wrong. To wit:

Riona: No, I'm never going to write interspecies romance. Because that would be ridiculous.
Jak II: HEY WHY NOT WRITE TORN/PECKER FIC?
Riona: ...because it makes no sense whatsoever, the characters never even meet in canon and they're completely different species?
Microsoft Word Document: Too late, you've already written it.
Riona: What?

Riona: Hmmm. Threesomes are a bit much, really, aren't they? Not, I think, an aspect of fanfiction I'm going to get involved in.
The Doctor, Rose and Jack: Oh, really?
Riona: ...oh. Oh, I see.

Riona: Eh, I'm not really into crossovers.
Doctor Who: Hey, wouldn't it be interesting if my characters went to Silent Hill?
Riona: ...er, I suppose so?
Assorted Memes: We force you to cross various fandoms over. This is usually draegonhawke's fault.
Riona: ...hey, this is kind of fun.
Silent Hill: Hey, did you realise that I can be crossed over with everything?
House and Scrubs: Hey, wouldn't we go so well together?
Top Gear and Harry Potter: Hey, we probably wouldn't go well together, but wouldn't we be fun to write?
Riona: ARGH WHEN DID I GET ADDICTED TO CROSSOVERS?

Riona: Er, I find real-person slash really kind of bizarre and unnerving. I don't think I'll ever write it. I really don't know why people -
Clarkson, Hammond and May: (bicker and snipe and flirt and have the most wonderful dynamic ever)
Riona: Argh! Where did my principles go?

Riona: Well, at least I'll never be a fan of human/inanimate object.
Clarkson: OH MY GOD BUGATTI VEYRON LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE.
Riona: Um -
Clarkson: (on an Alfa Romeo) All I have to do is picture it in black with tan leather and I'm nursing a semi.
Riona: DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT.

There, er, really isn't much point to this. This is mainly random musing, because I've been writing Really Rather A Lot Of Top Gear Slash recently and feeling incredibly guilty about it. The thing is, the Clarkson/Hammond/May dynamic is a wonderful one that I'm just not going to be able to find anywhere else. If I want to explore it (and I really, really do), I have to write RPS.

(I do have limits with RPS that I don't with regular fanfiction. I can't bring their wives into it. I can't deal with things such as infidelity and divorce and death when I'm writing about real, living people. I don't write serious, heavy angst; partially because that's just not what I love about Top Gear, but also because there's a guilt factor that you just don't get when the characters are fictional.)

Also, if this pattern continues, I'm probably going to end up writing necrophilia. Which worries me.

I've said this before and i'll say it again:

Real Person Slash is horribly fucking disturbing!

not that there's anything wrong with that

[rionaleonhart]

I completely agree. But I can't stop writing it, which is unfortunate.
