Yes, except for the people who have a kink for embarrassment and write stories that make me want to hide under the desk... (Not a suggested theme for recs! very not. *g*)
Rest assured you'll never see that theme here; I'd die in the assembling of it.
And I'm with you on the horror of embarrassment fic; there's not as much of it as mass-media embarrassment humor, but what there is is excruciating. I mean, I don't exactly enjoy serious sexual humiliation fic, but non-sexual humiliation and embarrassment kill me. And it isn't something that gets warnings, so I'll be happily reading along and suddenly Harry will be - well, out of consideration for you, I won't say it. I'll just say it happens in front of his entire year. And then I swoon, and I have to go lie down with a cold cloth on my face.
The only thing worse than fic that makes me act like a Victorian lady with the vapors (like embarrassment stories) is fic that makes me want to be an illiterate, cloistered nun in a Spanish convent (those gut-kick, right-on-the-squick stories that destroy your will to read FF for days on end). Vapors fic and Spanish Convent fic: scourges of our time.
