MemeSurvey 2: H/C! But mostly hurt...

[tari_roo]

Bleugh, I am in a mood. Its an odd mood, and is most probably due to the fact that its Monday tomorrow, the weekend was not as relaxing/quiet as I needed it to be, the weather is murky and chilly, and my afternoon nap was too long.

So here's a memeSurvey of my own making, because I am procrastinating writing because 'the mood' will influence the atmosphere (so I keep telling myself) and as its Sunday night, lets talk H/C but mostly hurt! (its sure to cheer anyone up!)



1. What was the first tv/film/book (or all) when you realised you liked h/c?

2. Which do you prefer? Emotional or physical? Or the fine combination of the two?

3. What is your hurt limit/squick factor? Or do you not have one?

4. Do you find h/c influences your mood or matches it? (i.e. are there circumstances/moods when you seek it out?)

5. Should h/c be the focus of the fic/show or a delicious ancillary to the main plot?

6. Fav character to whump? (or fav half dozen?)

7. Which character did you try whump once, and it just didn't work? (or for the readers, which character whump did you not enjoy)

8. Fav type of h/c, whump? (if you can pick just one)

9. Do you need there to be some sort of comfort in the h/c? Or is hurt in and of itself good enough? OR is comfort on its own good enough, with just referencing the hurt?

10. Most recent 'onscreen' whump (h/c) you liked/enjoyed? (show/film/book)

Ok.... small request: I am in a h/c mood but am only finding old favs on delicious. Any 'new', 'recent'ish h/c fic in SGA, SPN, H50, Avengers you can rec? Gen please :)

Oooh! Interesting!

1. What was the first tv/film/book (or all) when you realised you liked h/c?
That would have to be the old tv show Emergency. Cute firefighters, mortal danger, I was in love :)

2. Which do you prefer? Emotional or physical? Or the fine combination of the two?
I'm okay with a combination of the two, but I do lean more towards the physical - probably because it's easier to quantify and with (usually) a distinct beginning and road to recovery. Emotional can be more interesting because it can have long lasting effects, pop up in different ways, and never be 'better'.

3. What is your hurt limit/squick factor? Or do you not have one?
Generally not keen on anything that leaves a permanent crippling injury; there has to be some hope. Not big on death fic either.

4. Do you find h/c influences your mood or matches it? (i.e. are there circumstances/moods when you seek it out?)
Hmmm... no. always like a good h/c story.

5. Should h/c be the focus of the fic/show or a delicious ancillary to the main plot?
Have read wonderful fic where it is either.

6. Fav character to whump? (or fav half dozen?)
Dean, Sheppard, Rodney, Jack O'Neill, Tony Dinozzo

7. Which character did you try whump once, and it just didn't work? (or for the readers, which character whump did you not enjoy)
Tend not to be too much for Sam whump, unless it leads to Dean being awesome.

8. Fav type of h/c, whump? (if you can pick just one)
Not picky. But kinda like if the one being whumped needs to be saved at some point.

9. Do you need there to be some sort of comfort in the h/c? Or is hurt in and of itself good enough? OR is comfort on its own good enough, with just referencing the hurt?
Both. Definitely both.

10. Most recent 'onscreen' whump (h/c) you liked/enjoyed? (show/film/book)
Skyfall was good, but won't go into detail in case you haven't seen it :)

*old tv show Emergency. Cute firefighters*

I read this as: Emgergency Cute Firefighters and thought - Wow, why haven't I heard about this 'upfront on the hotness show' ;-)

I haven't seen Skyfall yet (hopefully tomorrow) so YAY! :)

I see why we like the same fic, dear ;) Good h/c taste :)
