Ever so slightly longer but not quite as thick: Toward a quantitative literary sexology of Harry Potter fanfiction by blythely, Circe_Tigana
Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, Science - Fandom
21 May 2013
Tags
Summary
Discussion regarding fanfiction tropes produced the observation that in one subset of Harry Potter fanfiction, "Harry/Draco slash" [HDS], Harry has a short, thick dick, while Draco's penis is long and thin. We tested the hypothesis that there was a consistent difference in how these two characters' genitalia were described. Additionally, we tested the hypothesis that slash fiction authors in this subset of fandom did not place equal emphasis on the description of testicles as compared with penii. We surveyed 100 HDS stories in online fanfiction archives and collected data on sexual description and content. Here we present the first quantitative test of fanon stereotypes and show that these explicitly sexual stories contain low levels of visual/sensory genital descriptions. Qualitative comparisons demonstrate trends in support of both hypotheses, although sample sizes prevent statistical significance. We use these findings to discuss how fanon may develop despite the incorrect assumption of perceived ubiquity.

Summary
Written for the les mis kink meme prompt: "Grantaire is a soul, Enjolras is the human body he possesses. Somehow, they fall in love."
He didn’t know, didn’t understand what the emptiness at his chest meant—couldn’t get his friends as they babbled about songs and sonnets and curly hair and perfume. He didn’t understand love. But not because he wanted to, he just didn’t know what love meant.

Summary
Darcy knows there are certain risks involved in writing RPF fanfics (especially when the two people you're slashing are an unstable Norse god and a guy with weapons of mass destruction in his pinkie), but what they don't know can't hurt her. Right?

Summary
It’s not because others wouldn’t understand, or because they’d say it’s gross, that they’re freaks, disgusting freaks. It’s not because they’re ashamed, they’re not. They don’t talk about it with other people because it’s theirs and theirs only. They don’t have to share that with anyone, because it’s nobody’s business. What they share, who they are, it’s something they couldn’t even explain even if they wanted to.
