The following word should be banned from fanfic forever: ministrations.

That's all.

(Seriously, it's a useless word. Has anyone used it well, in any context, ever?)

Oh, God, loathe that word so much!

And 'elicited'. Who uses that? Seriously? It makes me whimper.

Ah, but does it elicit a whimper from you? ;)

Ugh, I know what you mean.

Though at least "elicit" has legitimate uses outside of sex scenes. "Ministrations" just sucks everywhere.

They're both so... self-conscious, somehow :;pulls a face::

I use that word in RL. But I'm weird so...

No, not weird! I think it's just my issue, don't worry; I have them in abundance :-)
