[livejournal.com profile] pushkin666 and I are co-writing a werewolf Bruno/Craig fic on IM whilst I also struggle to write the sequel to sing no songs except of restless blood. The following exchange perfectly illustrates the process.

Hah, awesome. Looks like there's more of us, who go into a fandom in stages!
I always start with gen in a fandom, completely sexless gen... and at one point there's a snap and after that moment I'll go, alright, give me pain and forced body modification, I don't care anymore. XP

I always have to start with canon fic, can't be dealing with complete AUs (canon divergence is ok) until well into it. I do tend to get into pairings very quickly and am a slasher at heart, although bffs-to-lovers option trumps all gender preferences.

But lol yeah, hard kink I have to leave until later too, it's not something I want to read straight away.
