As a slash fan and writer, I'd appreciate a bit more respect.
(This is maybe more [info]fandom_lounge-y, but most of the comments are fairly wanky.)

Local rag reviews book, enrages slash fans.

"rein-callused fingers around the youth's pink and gold member,"
And that's when I started laughing.

The phrase "weeping cock" is actually extremely common (or, at least, it used to be, I don't know about anymore) in romance novels and erotic fanfic and the like. It's always made me think of a poor little penis that's afraid of the dark, sobbing hysterically, all "Don't make me go in there! Please! ;_;"

Which is, of course, how the Weeping Cock comm got its name. Because I used to see that phrase all the time in sex scenes, and it would always make me laugh, so when the time came, it seemed appropriate.

And now I get to laugh myself to sleep. Thanks.

I've always been fond of "peeked" nipples. Are those nipples that have peeked, or have they been peeked at? Inquiring mind demands to know! Although my favourite was the one time I came across "piqued" nipples. Because nipples really fucking hate it when you lick them, apparently. :D

Maybe they're Peekaboo nipples. That makes sense, right? Since they're all covered and then get uncovered and...yeah.

I shouldn't comment when I'm this tired. :|

Or "picked" nipples. Because the guy can't leave well enough alone.

My brain parsed that as "pickled nipples", which made made me imagine some really weird story lines.

"Ma'am, how much have your nipples had to drink tonight?"

"Uh... Five or six beers? I dunno. They aren't like this usually!"

Which, now, has me trying to figure out how you give nipples a field sobriety test. If you'll excuse me, I need to ground my inner 12-year-old boy.

Or "perky" nipples. Or "pointy" Which makes me think of That 70's Show, more exactly of Fez. "Don't point at me with your perky nipples!"

"Perky" makes me think of nipples that've had too much sugar. It's kind of a terrifying image. D:

I keep considering posting an excerpt of one of Madeline Hunter's books to Weeping Cock:

The desire deepened, went lower. It filled her hips and made her vulva cry.

(The Sinner, 272)

It later shivers, pulses, and throbs; poor thing.

If it fills your ladyparts with grief so profound that they quiver, perhaps ur doing it wrong.

See, that's a way better imagery than what I get. Because if your cock can be in any way close to weeping, you've got a horrifying STD. D:

Oh yeah, try reading the english translation of 'Ai no Kusabi' (a fairly popular Japanese gay romance, heavy on BDSM) which was adapted to a reasonably interesting OVA. I love the story, but the sex,, the bad writing (I've just randomly opened a page, and oh look)

The scrupulously ingrained sexual response rippled and bloomed, like a bud of spring bursting into the sunlight...But enough that the tip of his hard shaft oozed honey. The precum welled up. The furrows in his brows deepened. Iason grazed Riki's glans with the pads of his fingers, coating them with sexual juices

I could go, it continues with phrases like 'honeyed tip', ''hidden bud, 'ripe rift of his hidden flesh', 'soft inner walls', 'burning bonfires', 'rock-hard appendages' - my favourite bit is 'Riki's member, swollen to an arc, scattered drips of bliss about his feet'.

Haha. It's bad, and yet I can't stop reading it. I have an urge to re-write entire sections, and to edit entire sections, or just, knock out a lot of scenes which aren't needed.

I'm not a writer, I wouldn't consider myself that great at it, but I'm confident I could do those sex scenes better, and that's very scary.

I've been obsessed with ai no kusabi for years now and I was so damn excited when I heard they were licensed! These books are so difficult to read, though. I could never figure out if it's a problem with the original Japanese, the English translation or both.

I'm pretty sure that if I wasn't already familiar with the story I wouldn't make it through the first book and that one didn't even have any sex scenes!

I heard it was fairly bad in Japanese as well, it's just the storyline that saves it, OK maybe the universe, it just need a lot of editing to cut all that rambling.

that makes sense. After all, the disorienting and abrupt time/POV changes can't really be blamed on a bad translation. I already adore AnK but a heavily edited, non rambly AnK would blow my mind.

I wish the AnK universe would be used in other works :/

I picked up the Only the Ring Finger Knows books (which was licensed by the same company as AnK), and I ended up putting those books up on BookMooch because they read like average fanfic. No sex scenes either, but bad writing + Times New Roman = ew no.

ugh yes. The presentation is so bad. They really shouldn't be charging $9 for these things.

It's really too bad, because DMP's manga division seems to have better taste. I'd been looking forward to novel translations.

Ahaha! I thought the same thing, actually.

Also, I love that community! Brb, going to see if there's anything new.
