White Collar fandom

[(Anonymous)]

I wanted to like it, I really did. I love the characters. I ate up S1. I love that the fandom likes the female characters and that there are lots of threesomes because threesomes are always the answer.

But I do NOT get the fandom's obsession with d/s and bondage. Why does every fic in the fandom have to involve some sort of d/s kink? I just like them fucking sweet and domestic. I have nothing against kink! There are some bondage fics in other fandoms that I love, and I will read just about any kink - bloodplay, breathplay, watersports, whatever - in most fandoms if they're well-written.

But the d/s fic in White Collar is so omnipresent and so often not well-written that it actually turned me off the series.

I felt the same way about the X-Files fandom years ago, and when poking at White Collar fandom recently there were some of the same authors from X-Files fandom writing there now. Certain canon just attracts certain kink, I think.

I'm more depressed about the character bashing I'm seeing lately D:

I've written a couple of WC fics with no bondage in them! They do exist ;) I agree it's kind of annoying having to sift, though.

Not to mention the assplay! WC fandom has a total Neal with anal prolapse kink.
