three questions for the internet

[dira]

1) Wasn't there a chart somewhere that plotted fic quality versus fic enjoyability to explain the appeal of idfic? Does anybody know where that is?

2) I have somehow, now, for no very good reason, fallen into Sherlock Holmes fandom and am longing for Holmes/Watson fic. By which I mean porn. By which I mean kinky top!Holmes/bottom!Watson. ETA: come to think of it, the other way around works just as well, especially movie!verse. /ETA Recs plz? I have been reading my way through everything of Katie's, so movie vs. book canon appears to be no particular obstacle. And have read damned_colonial and toft's respective kink_bingo oeuvres, but surely there is MORE somewhere?

3) WHY IS IT NOT SATURDAY YET?

I... I have to ask -- what is idfic? I know I am out of the loop on all these crazy fan designations for writing, but... I got nothin'.

Basically fic that expresses all those dark, unfiltered things in your id, without your superego stepping in and going "um, are you sure you want the world to know that you have all that stuff seething around in your head?" and making you all self-conscious and embarrassed by it.

FYI, over on LJ (where I'm elainasaunt) I just recced all your Holmes/Watson fic to Dira.

Idfic is fiction that isn't necessarily good writing but that hits your buttons (whether sexual or not), producing an emotional reaction.
