Incesty Pairings

[deird_lj]

So, I come bearing pollage.

I've seen a lot of conversations about fanfic recently, in which people have discussed different pairings and said "That pairing squicks me out. It's... almost incestuous."

And I was wondering which pairings are most likely to strike people that way.


So, under the cut is a poll, full of pairings!
Rate each pairing from 1 (not incestuous in the slightest) to 10 (really really incestuous and squicky).

Hm. Apparently it has to be actual technical incest for me to get the incest-squick reaction; everything else is either just fine with me, or squicks for another reason.

Three exceptions:

Connor/Cordelia seems incestuous enough, even though it's not, that it squicks me a lot.

Connor/Jasmine squicks me but Angel/Jasmine doesn't. *shrugs* I know Jasmine is, technically, Connor's daughter -- except insomuch as she's God, so it doesn't work that way -- but their relationship is almost more like mother and son. So Connor/Jasmine is cross-gen incest squick going both directions, like. Angel and Jasmine don't have any kind of relationship, really, and with Jasmine not being human, it doesn't bother me.

Joyce/Spike seems incestuous in retrospect, now that I've seen the entire series and am a Spuffy fan. It's like Spike's her son-in-law. Had I happened across fic for this pairing before I'd seen S6-S7, it probably wouldn't have bothered me.
