When you say "addictive behavior," are you just talking about substances? Or psychological addictions as well?

xoverau September 29 2006, 20:35:54 UTC

Either or. *bounce*

Oh, but it's nothing you haven't read before; it's just Granted by Calico, which is my favorite fic of someone being addicted to abuse.

I've never read that, I don't think. Or if I did, it was so long ago I'd forgotten. :)

Everything written by gigantic, ever.

Where might I find it? Is it unfriendslocked?

That last one, probably my favorite.

Thanks! Very yay. If anything else occurs to you, lemme know--I've been indulging this kink lately. :)

Fic? Hell, the substance abuse was my LIFE for the enitre year I was between the ages of 18 and 21. And the addictive behavior? My life in general. And both the substance abuse and addictive behavior describe the lives of many people who are currently my friends. I don't need the fic for that:p

Hahah.

...er well. Not laughing at your friends' predicaments, of course, more the idea of online being an addiction. It so is.

...you mean, you found something that wasn't SHIT on afislash? O_O O_O O_O *bookmarks for later consumption*

xoverau October 3 2006, 17:54:47 UTC

OOOOOOH.

Can't think of any fanfic offhand, but there are a few books/movies I could point you toward that have done it really well to the extent of--in a couple of cases--me whimpering in a corner and trying not to scratch my face off.

xoverau October 3 2006, 17:56:00 UTC

Oooh. It's kind of a kink of mine, so I may have seen/read some of them already, but please, rec me!

My usual list of recs:

(Mostly) Movies:
- Requiem for a Dream, book or movie (though the movie very annoyingly has people's pupils do the opposite of what they should do)
- Spun
- The Salton Sea - best opening sequence ever!
- High Art
- Trainspotting (book too!)
- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (you kinda have to be in the right mood for that)

A few other books:
- Junkie Love - Good memoir about heroin addiction
- A Scanner Darkly - one of Philip K. Dick's best and most tweekerly paranoid endeavors
- High Society - Brilliantly funny satire about a politician who gains notoriety by supporting a bill for the legalzation of drugs

And because I'm not entirely immodest about these things, my own endeavor into the genre. Two of my proofreaders quit about 20 pages into the MS because it triggered them and made them want to go and shoot up in dark allys and such. Heh.
