Do you think so? I got the impression that HP is just plain the biggest fandom around, not that it was partiularly kinky. I.e. It's just got more of everything, so, if you go down the aisle marked 'kink', well yeah, you've got a huge selection. Comparing it to SPN is like, mega-sized chain store thing vs corner store. What's HP like if you compare it to the overall proportion of fic? Ok, stupid question - I just went to look at fanfiction.net (to compare badfic quantities for a basic metric, not to actually read anything ;) ) and they've got 3,051 Supernatural fics versus 256,058 for Harry Potter. Uh, comparing anything 80 times larger than that other is unlikely to come up with relevent results.* So um, I'll look at it from a different perspective - I'm guessing the kinky reader could go to town in HP, and read nothing but [insert kink here], but for the average reader, how much kink would they come across, vs say, in SPN?
* (I'm sure many far smaller fandoms would be kinkier if we did it on a purely proportional basis, and even one well-known fan can start a rash of a particular type of fic, ie Thete1's Lost Boys Archive)
