Meta: on "guilty pleasure" fanfic

month_of_meta is in its final week, and I've been wanting to write something else for it ... so this is a topic I was pondering today, and I figured I'd write something up. :D

I recently asked my flist for help brainstorming on the "sexual extortion" square of my h/c bingo card. All the input was quite helpful, but as I pondered the answers I got and the possible scenarios that people suggested, I realized that one of the problems I was having with writing any of them was that they simply felt too self-indulgent. Too much id, not enough story.

And this got me thinking about my fanfic reading and writing habits in general.
