Whip me, beat me
To a bloody puddle
Save me, hold
me
Give me a long cuddle
Readers need their angst fix
So snap my bones
like toothpicks
Make them sympathize with my poor plight
Hurt-comfort
fills the fanzines of the night
Bash me, trash me
Till I'm down and bleeding
Then you'll
suffer
Silently and seething
Abuse my body neatly
Then agonize so
sweetly
Readers ache to see that awful sight
In their favorite fanzines of
the night
Close my eyes with a nasty one-two punch in my face
Throw me
out of the shuttle into space
Break my back so I'll never walk again
Then
hold me close to satisfy the fen
Shoot me, zap me
Beat me into heaven
Any genre--
Star
Trek or B7
Doesn't really matter
Just which one gets splattered
Long as
it is done precise and right
For nurses read the fanzines of the night...
Writer's apologetic note--I won a Fan-Q for this back in 1994, believe it or not. It appeared in the appropriately named Serrated Seven, and it remains one of my favorite filks. It also neatly sums up my opinion of the hurt-comfort fiends in zine fandom, including the one I married, to whom this was dedicated to...thank God she forgave me for it...
