Obvious poster is obvious
So I filled a request for the wrestling kink meme (http://community.livejournal.com/meme_power/4701.html) and I feel kind of out-of-sorts about it.
The writing's not so great. Some stuff I did to "disguise" my writing--- not that anyone over there knows me anyway, but I thought a little disguising was part of the fun.
Moreso than the writing was the content. Maybe I'm putting too much of my own experiences with wants and frustrations into this, and maybe the OP isn't anywhere as picky and fussy as I am, but, I can't help feeling like I ignored the implied aspects of the request.
The OP requested cross-dressing, and I delivered it. But, you know how fandom (usually) thinks, and I'm pretty sure she wanted the bottom cross-dressing, and I wrote the top as the one in drag.
I wanked before about how stuff that comes close to one's kinks but misses is more disappointing than badfic. I feel like I delivered the equivalent of Taker/M. Hardy with M. Hardy sobbing through the whole thing while Taker plans their wedding.
I don't know. *I* like the story (well the idea. The writing shames me), but kink memes reallly aren't about the author. I feel bad.

I just - really, wrestling fandom? Your definition of "really dirty fucking" is a few seconds of face-fucking and being thrown around on a bed? I shouldn't be surprised. This is, of course, the fandom that can't take genderswap and only accepts BDSM when it involves ropes.
I think we can do better. I know we can do better. Shall we take this over to

I'm down with anything that brings kink to wrestlefic.
I don't know, though, about this fandom not being able to take genderswap. I think it's less the subject, and more all the same problems dogging other fics.
Admittedly, I haven't read many. Not my cup of tea. But the few I have... well, they're never labeled as such and so for the first couple of paragraphs I think it's a v. bad characterization of a canon female (or a Mary Sue). I realize wrestling is rife with characters sharing names, but if you're going to name your genderswap HBK "Michelle", let me know we're not talking about McCool here. Also, and again I think this is more wrestlefic's quality than content, but most genderswaps are so. damn. boring. Let me post my character study, and call it a story.
