Original authors of stock QAF quotes

[nightvision55.livejournal.com]

Hello guys!

I've read reams of QAF fic, and you know how the same phrases keep cropping up ... like "he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding" or "they only stopped kissing when the need for oxygen became too great"... not to mention Justin's ass "gripping like a velvet vise"!

I know Justin's "shell-like ear" came from the episode where Linds and Mel were trying to choose a father for Mel's baby, but how about the term "Temmett"? I don't remember it being canon, so does anyone know who originated it? I guess these phrases came from fics that had a great influence on later writers, and I just wondered if anyone knows which they were?

Got any favourites of your own?

Temmett definitely sounds like a pairing name made up by the fandom or an author. Maybe the author even used in their fic. Maybe in a scene like the one were Justin comes up with "Britin".

As for the other lines... I'm pretty sure I've used them myself and don't them all that much. There are "worse" lines to be used in fics or general in writing. My personal pet-peeve is "weaping cock" and variations thereof.

I just saw a weeping cock in a fic the other day! Poor sad cock. It either needs a hug or medical attention.

I really felt bad for that cock. It seemed so distressed in the situation...

Have you been to this comm? weepingcock Dedicated to bad sex in both fanfiction and published fiction. Hilarious and often disturbing, lol :)

And the bad sex excerpts inspire me to make ridiculous icons.

Yeah, I've seen the comm though I feel too bad for the authors to browse or post there.

Oh, okay. You are a better person than I! :)

A lot of what gets posted there is on purpose bad. And a majority of what's written seriously is so misogynistic that I could have no qualms about sporking it.
