Do you think there was one fandom that generally had better quality kinkfic? Or maybe it depends on the kink, like one fandom did D/s amazingly but another had all the best pet play or whatever.

Do fandoms still do kink memes? I'm showing my age here but I remember them being really fun during the LJ days.

Supernatural, MCU, Teen Wolf, and Sherlock. Just because there are so many fics there is bound to be one (or hundreds) of whatever kink you are looking for.

I like the Witcher fandom for kink. A lot of the popular kinks in the fandom mesh with my interests.

God I miss kinkmemes.

They are still out there! DW's fandom calendar comm has put up links to several.

There was so much weird drama around the kink memes for one fandom I was in recently that I just noped out of there. It was anti/profic fighting among the fandom that somehow resulted in two separate and both extremely drama-fueled kink memes being created. I miss posting on kink memes back in the day but that kind of soured me on looking for new ones, maybe I'm looking in the wrong places?

Star Trek. Not the fandom, the whole damn Canon. They've done sizeplay, age play, dubcon, noncon, furry and bodymorph,and that was just the Animated Series. Live action is where it starts getting freaky.

ROTFL, but you're not wrong.

I think you need someone who knows their way around to help you find those parts, because it too huge to start somewhere and try to watch it all if you're there for is the kinky bits, though.

Tbh as a fan of both Danny Phantom and Harry Potter I find both worlds full of fun kink potential especially if you're a "seven books only" fan of HP and with DP you find that only a fraction of the Ghost Zone and the potential of ghosts has been explored.

The creators' disapproval is just further icing on the cake.

I thought JK mostly asked people to keep the explicit sex in collections where you had to click a button claiming to be 18, as opposed to where any excited nine year old who wanted to read stories about their favorite Harry Potter character could run into it by accident. Which seemed fair to me.

Oh well eh I can't help but get homophobic vibes off her in how she handled the whole Dumbledore thing. I mean the whole thing was him falling in love with a horrible person it turned out awful and tragic bc of his love for him Dumbledore didn't act. Then he stayed alone for the rest of his life.

Also the whole HIV/Werewolf thing. The only two werewolves we see are a literal child predator and his traumatized victim. Yeah great one there.

She may not have been open about saying anything about it but... the portrayals there don't exactly paint a positive picture.

I see your point, with JK's only stated-to-be-gay character in HP also being celibate, and previously involved with someone destructive on a historical scale. I count Lupin among her (many) gender non-conforming but straight characters, because of Tonks and his son Teddy. And Greyback, as far as I know, did not spare girls. He was a predator, certainly. But a gay predator? Not in canon.

My memory of Grindeldore shippers before JK confirmed it publicly was that they were on the far edge of "no one thinks this will ever be canon." Because Dumbledore was so central to the story and unassailably the most trustworthy adult at the school. It also implied that sexual orientation was a non-issue among wizards, because none of the characters who were suspicious of Dumbledore, felt threatened by him, or wanted him gone for political reasons, tried to discredit him by calling attention to his being gay.

I empathize with the disappointment of fans who wanted Sirius/Remus to be canon. But I think its not being Remus or Sirius or a lot of characters that fans focused on more spared them a lot of unfair criticism and homophobic exaggeration. Dumbledore, because he's an old eminence, and his intellect so respected and his accomplishments so many, was harder to savage.

Sirius could be impulsive, aggressive, threatening, and cruel for fun. Lots of fans find him entirely sympathetic, but ... how much would those seem like stereotypical, negative traits on a gay character? How would Sirius's imprisonment and Lupin's poverty and long-term unemployability and neither of them surviving the war look, if you're checking off tickyboxes for representation?

When people have failings, and are part of a stigmatized group, it's maddeningly common that their being complicated and making mistakes and fucking stuff up is blamed on group-membership. In life, this is unfair enough. In fiction, it makes it very hard to do justice to a character's humanity without being accused of making the group they supposedly represent seem disreputable.

But respectability politics are inherently oppressive: acceptance for gays or women or anybody is about living without having to pretend to be morally unassailable. People don't deserve consideration and respect because they're angels - they deserve it because everyone does. And this insight puts minorities on much firmer, less stressful footing than when fiction is constantly trying to justify their existence by presenting everything they do and think in a positive light. Because real people don't get an author watching over them and making sure they never look flawed in public!

Tolkien fandom is surprisingly kinky. You can find basically any kink, it just depends on the pairing. I don't know if the kink memes is still active. I actually got into the fandom through a kink meme, though.

The Legend of the Seeker fandom has a ton of really kinky fics, though it isn't very active so new fics don't happen much.

Buffy fandom has always been pretty kinky too. And of course, SPN has all the kink.

For me, it's Person of Interest and The Locked Tomb

Larger fandoms will on average have more and better kink fic just because they typically attract more and better writers.

That said, I think assessing the quality needs to be done kink by kink. For *my* kink, MCU, Teen Wolf and MHA have the best stuff on AO3. There is some good stuff in SPN but mostly in old LJ/DW comms. Sherlock and Harry Potter have a decent amount, but I've found the writing is not as good as in the other fandoms I've listed. OFMD has a surprising amount for a smaller, newer fandom. And a small book fandom has quite a lot, mostly thanks to a handful of prolific writers.

If you like really weird kink, GO fandom is great, since you absolutely don't have to care about realism.

Which is GO?

Any fandom that has robots in its canon is invariably bizarre by most people's reckoning.

The Transformers fandom is quite frankly peculiar. If body horror doesn't faze you, trying some fics out may be worth your while.
