Here goes nothin'

[bironic]

Got my Kink Bingo card! It is… Well, I had six ideas I wanted to do or had started last year and hadn't finished, encompassing maybe a dozen kinks in all, and… none of them are on my card, heh. I am absolutely totally open to creating stories and vids and commentaries and icons and recs for kinks that don't cater to my own favorites—indeed, that is one of the goals of the Bingo comm—and to creative interpretation, but I'm nonetheless toying with knocking out a quick-and-dirty (heh) line or plus-sign Bingo and requesting a second card to see if it works better with my plans. I've been half-joking to synn and deelaundry that I could do a whole Bingo with recs from the Inception kink meme; this may be the time to prove it.


The card, if you want to see it:

B	I	N	G	O
held down - Mary Sue thoughts	historical roleplay - "Born Too Late" (DS9 vid)	wet, messy, dirty - "Let's Get Messy" (multi vid)	domestic / tradesman kink (recs)	orgasm denial / control - "Satisfaction" (Peanuts vid)
sensory deprivation	body alteration / injury	bodily secretions	enemas	mirrors and doubles
subspace / headspace (recs)	humiliation (verbal) (recs)	wildcard - ageplay (recs)	vehicular (recs and thoughts)	food (recs)
foot / shoe fetish	sex toys (worn under clothing)	tentacles	writing on the body	consent play
suspension	voyeurism	orgies and decadence	uniforms / military kink	breathplay

I'm looking at the center row, possibly with center column down the road for the plus sign. Which of course means I also came up with a fun idea for "historical roleplay."





ETA June 14: Second Bingo card:

B	I	N	G	O
gangbang	foot / shoe fetish	humiliation (verbal) - Mary Sue DS9 fic	tattoos / tattooing	blades
penance / punishment	collars	tickling	vehicular	smacking / slapping
dressup	genital torture	wildcard - mechanical/ technological - Humping Robot vid	whipping / flogging	anonymity
shaving / depilation - 14 recs	voyeurism - Found Poem: Aliens Made Them Do It	masters doms slaves & subs - A Girl Like You (vid)	fucking machines - If You Build It (He Will Come)	danger - BtVS meta
historical roleplay	fisting / stretching	writing on the body	service	orgies and decadence

Since there is a masters/doms/slaves/sub in progress, looks like it'll be second row up from the bottom. *rubs hands together*

Want to trade with me? I got this one:

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Ah, I will do my best with mine. Not that trading is allowed anyway. :) Does that mean you'll be looking for help brainstorming?

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Yep.

[bironic.livejournal.com]

You got it.

I would do the top row, were it mine. Which it is not.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

The top row or the middle column, I'm thinking.

This card just doesn't match me. : (

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I struggled with similar emotions when my card arrived, but then I remembered that I don't have to write a kink-soaked fic to fill every square -- with meta and DVD commentaries and recs lists available as options, it's also possible to ruminate on kinks and examine what others have done with them. Picspams and icons, too, if you can think of scenes from movies or TV that involve the kink in some way.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Emailing you a question.

[linaerys.livejournal.com]

YK, I've been wondering, do the characters themselves have to have that kink, or does the story have to fulfill the kink? With body injury/modification, if you had some hot sex where one of the characters had some kind of body injury/modification, and a reader who liked that would be turned on, but the characters are not turned on specifically by that modification, would it still fit the kink?

Eh, sorry, I should probably do research before asking this. But your essay made me wonder about this thing, the gulf between character kink and reader kink, which can be narrow, or incredibly wide, especially in the case of noncon.

[bironic.livejournal.com]

The mods request that the erotic focus of the story be on the kink(s) in the square(s). So a story where someone has a tattoo and they have sex that has nothing to do with the tattoo wouldn't fulfill the square. But a story where one character is turned on by the tattoo -- or fixated on the tattoo even if they're not turned on by it -- would. As would a gen or lower-rated story that centers on a character's relationship to tattoos, i.e. stares at people who have them, or obsesses over getting one or what it's like to get one, or works in a tattoo parlor, or...

[linaerys.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, interesting. Thanks!

[bironic.livejournal.com]

It would definitely be interesting to see Bingo fills that play with that line between character-kink and reader-kink the way you describe, though.

[bitter-crimson.livejournal.com]

For tattoos, I think you could ttly do that by for example having a story where a character goes to get a tattoo, and the tattooing process is described in great great detail and focus, and it's not even about what the character thinks about that, but describing the process in loving detail for a reader who likes to read about the act of tattooing.

It seems also like the difference btwn a story about consent play where the characters are into it, and a non-con story where a character is very NOT into it (if that's the POV character anyway), but the reader presumably is.

[bironic.livejournal.com]

To follow up on this again: the mods say it another way in the Wiki:

if you are writing Laurence/Temeraire (a dude and a dragon) for "animal play" the differences between their species should be a main focus of the story, and the thing that Laurence, Temeraire, or the writer of the story is interested in.

(italics theirs, even!)

While we are speaking of the Kink Bingo, is it okay if I podfic a story of yours for one of my squares?

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Um. In how many ways can I enthusiastically say YES in a comment box? I would be thrilled.

[sabinetzin]

Hurrah!
