Re: THE GREAT DEBATE: Cum vs Come vs ?

(Anonymous) 2023-07-17 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm the anon who said the vast majority of fics I read that use "cum" aren't very good anyway. In most of the fandoms I've been in, I would say only 1–2% of the fics have used "cum," but recently I've been in a couple where the percentage was more like 30–40% using it. I have never been in a fandom where the majority used it, thank god.

In the fandoms where 30–40% use "cum," most of the fics that use it are like 2K or shorter, with zero plot or establishing structure or characterization to speak of; just porn. Or, alternatively, they're mundane AUs where one of the characters has basically no characterization and exists as a proxy for the author/reader, while the other character is whatever type of sexual experience the author finds hottest.

None of this is in any way invalid. It's all fine, and if this is what does it for people, good for them. But as I read fanfic for the characters and the dynamics and the story as well as for smut, personally I find fanfic that lacks all but the latter to be badly written.

I have read the occasional fic that used "cum" and was otherwise fairly well written, but exceedingly few.
