question about h/c placed in subcategory field Posted by rhapsody\_the\_bard May 22, 2005 - 17:15:30 Topic ID# 4379

Hi all,

while I am trying to assign subcategories for Drama, I came across the
abbreviation h/c.

I have no clue what this is, can anyone shed a light on this?
Marigold? Llinos? I think I have seen it before with Hobbit story
nominations.

It stands for hurt/comfort. It's where you give your star character a
hard time, so someone else can comfort them.

According to http://www.subreality.com/glossary/terms.htm:

hurt/comfort -- a style of story in which one character is harmed
(physically or emotionally) and another must save them, make them feel
better, or both. Though not often seen in comic fandom, this one's been
around since the original Star Trek 'zines and is often used to
encourage a hopeless romance or set the stage for slash. In Sentinel
fandom, stories of this type are jokingly called "owwies."
