Well "Fuck me", it's Harry Potter Wank!
[info]lissinthecity writes a Harry/Ginny NC17 fic and posts it to a shipping site called Checkmated. In the smutlet, the phrase "Fuck me" is uttered.

It seems that some former GT'rs take issue and start leaving a few bad reviews. [info]tartanboxers leaves the following review:


L said in his/her review: "I'm a H/G fan and find this story very dissapointing. Both Harry and Ginny are out of character.

I really hate it when people write smut for the sake of smut, without devoting any effort in developing the relationship or the characters themselves."

Unfortunately I have to agree with this assessment. It's a personal pet peeve of mine, perhaps, but I could never, ever see any of the HP characters using the word "fuck" in a million years, and using terms like that just cheapens the sex. I want a relationship along with my smut.


It doesn't end there. This phrase bugged [info]tartanboxers so much that she felt the need to post a poll about it in her livejournal.

Here's where things get interesting. msscribe, a friend of [info]lissinthecity takes off the gloves and decides to go on the offensive. Our favorite reply of hers to an annoyed poster who agrees with [info]tartanboxers:

"My God, you should be paying your Betas"

We see posts from [info]ivyblossom, ataniell93, to name a few. It's bound to get even wankier.

Wankity, wank, wank, wank.

ETA: The poll is now locked but you can see what was saved by [info]ladylisse here. Even though it's locked, [info]ladymaidmarian can't help herself from getting in on the wank.

ETA: You know it's a wank when they bring [info]epicyclical and [info]heidi8 into the game.

It's going to be a fun day in the fandom my friends.

Aah, Potter fandom. We can always count on you for a good wank.

Wanky as the entire fuss is, I thought all the "I use the words cunt and fuck because my sex life is so much edgier and sexier than yours, nyah nyah" stuff was even wankier and more immature. Get over yourself already, especially when it comes to implying that someone else's marriage is deficient because she has different level of comfort with obscene words. If everyone agreed that you have the best sex evah, and your naughty words give you extra big pretty orgasms, would you get over yourself a little and SHUT THE FUCK UP about it?

OTOH, having ones partner know that they shouldn't dare imply that you're lusty lest you assault him with a pointy shoe would seem to me to be bad for the hot SeXXorZ. However, that's just my opinion.

I think I repeatedly said that I believed them when they said they didn't like those words. I just couldn't get over the fact that they thought nobody else should. I don't think I ever gave anyone marital advice. It's not like I've ever stayed married or anything. I resented the implication that I must like being abused if I could tolerate being spoken to like that. Which I wouldn't, in any other situation but being in bed with a long-term partner.

Random cursing doesn't equal "cool" and "edgy". =P I wish people would learn!

(Granted, I tend to curse quite a bit. However, I don't make characters in fanfics curse if it doesn't fit. And I try to avoid cursing wherever it might be REALLY EVIL AND WRONG to people.)

I just want to say how fucking hilarious it is that 300+ comments and counting and any number of hysterical (in the funny sense and in the frothing-at-the-mouth sense) LJ posts have ensued because someone had Ginny saying "Fuck me, Harry" in a fanfic.

Oh, HP fandom. Without you, Fandom Wank would be a much sadder, less maniacally gleeful and howlingly funny place.

Oh, shut up all of you. Both sides. This has nothing to do with stalking or vulgarity preferences, or who's reading who's journals. It's all about the people involved, and how much the *love* sniping at each other.

Really? You don't have to come and post on the unfriended journal of a person you've clashed with in the past. Yes, of course, you have the right, but hasn't it been proved OVER and OVER that nothing constructive will come from it? And you don't have to rabidly jump to the defense of a friend/person on your side at any percieved slight, self-rightous as you may feel. BOTH sides. H/Gers? You're making tartanboxers look really bad, and it doesn't seem as though she appreciates your rabid excuse to snipe at H/Hers defense.

My advice? H/Hers coming on your journal they were supposed to given you the "fandom cold shoulder," or whatever? Ban 'em from your journal. You have the write to post publically, they have the right to read it, but if it truely bothers you that much, you can keep anyone you want from commenting in your journal. Unless you really are spoiling for a fight.

And yes, banning them might be considered wanky. But trust me, in the end, everyone'll come out looking better.

You're trying to use earth logic. That's just silly in a fight that's alledgely* about what is canon for Harry Potter SMUT.


*not very cleverly-vieled excuse for a shipper war. WHO will be the ultimate One Twu Luv of Harry's throbbing manhood? I think we all know that in canon, he'll f*ck Ginny, but make sweet love with Draco.

i would just like to weigh in with the fact that swearing in hp is, in fact, canon.

while we don't know if it's the f-word j.k. is referring to, there are many instances where people 'curse', 'swear', or 'say things their mommies would wash their mouths out with soap for' etc etc etc. ron in particular seems to be a baddie in that department - remember when there's vague reference to him saying something along the lines of "go fuck yourself" to malfoy in GoF?

obviously, rowling's got the good sense to censor herself, because she doesn't need the kiddies running to their parents saying "mum, what does 'go fuck yourself' mean?" or "why can't i say 'go fuck yourself'? ron said it, and he's cool!" but in an nc-17 fic, you can safely assume the author has made an educated guess that kiddies won't be reading it. and if they are, they'll have much more new information to digest than the appearance of the f-word.

in short - sorry, but hp characters do swear. *steps off soapbox*

You're absolutely right, of course, but I think they dumped canon as a load of crap when Harry professed an interest in Cho of all people. The nerve. The disgrace. And from another house!
