Unfortunately there's just some people out there that can't figure out that fandom does not equal real life. I've written incest, rape/torture, bdsm and bestiality, but I'd slit my own throat before I thought about willing doing anything on that list beyond the bdsm in RL.

My own fic starts out with Yusuke going to Kurama for help in training to be a submissive. Ultimately he's going through this because he wants to be Hiei's sub, but he doesn't want to approach him untrained. Kurama fits the bill perfectly since he's one of the few people Yusuke trusts. Kurama accepts after they set the ground rules and things are fine, Yusuke fits into the lifestyle with a minimum of difficulty.

Things start going wrong when Kurama's demonic instincts take a greater role in the arrangement and Yusuke doesn't recognize the danger signs until it's too late. When he tries to leave, Kurama's grip on reality snaps and decides that he'll be damned if he gives Yusuke up through any method except death.

The story is still ongoing and there's a few people that have already had a fit over it despite the warnings. I'm not surprised though, when you label things for bdsm there's too many people that are expecting fuzzy handcuffs and nothing more. When you label for rape and torture, they're expecting magical, healing buttsex or something. I'm bracing myself for the horrified reactions when they see the upcoming character deaths I have planned lol

We can't win lol

I had a rant on that earlier in the comments to this secret. My writing style is heavily inspired by visual kei in general, so it's like. . . I write not just to entertain and get people off, sometimes I want to shock or make a statement or explore an issue or whatever. And yet somehow, writing is more readily judged than music or art as a "portrait of the writer's mind."

Personally, I blame 9-11 and the almost global tendency toward conservatizing and fearmongering that's bled over from terrorism and suspicion of it into the "OMG INTERNET DANGER" and "SPOT THE NEXT KILLER" and "If you're weird, you're OMG MENTALLY ILL and NEED TREATMENT" memes. Yes, these memes may have saved some people, I won't begrudge the people who believe according to them. That said, I don't think even that's worth the chilling effect they've brought in everywhere (and now that there's a new law before the US Senate that passed the US House demanding the censorship of some "obscene" fictional content and a possible internet-filtering law being pushed forward in Japan. . .). . .

I'm really, truly not optimistic, since our future IS the internet and since if anything, being able to see you're not the only one who's had your experiences and survived through them, you're not the only one who has an odd mind and is proud of it and using it for your art, would eventually save some people. Just not the right ones, though, for some people. >_<

. . .Sorry, went off on a bit of a rant. If I start talking, there will be no end ~_^

No worries, your thoughts are quite similar to my own on the issue, as is your reasons for writing. I dread the day that a law like that manages to pass.

Me too. Hopefully, it won't pass the Senate, or it will be thrown out by a judge on the first case. . . but yeah, it's very worrisome, especially since I worry that "obscene" might suddenly get applied not just to minors in explicit fiction (which is bad enough: even though I don't write minors at all, it squicks me, it's a step in the wrong direction to blanket-ban it), but to anything other than the American porn industry standard.
