1) Seeing as I've lived close to a school shooting site (Heath High School, West Paducah, KY), and I attended college with the one survivor of the shooting (we had social work classes together), I'm.... highly offended by the idea od fanfic based on real school shootings. To me, it's SICK. I suppose it's because it hits so close to home. -_-

3) YOU SUCK. Galen is wai. :D

5) Hee. Kill them! :D

8) I've made a deal with my boyfriend... if we ever have kids, they'll hate us. <3 Though I will probably limit fandom names to being their middle names or something.

10) Happened to me once. It was my nephew. It was yaoi. All my het doujin are safe, but I have to hide my yaoi from him. O_o

11) I think they're fun- and I get to discover a lot of music I'd never heard by checking them out.

13) AMEN. (I have a Wii, but I would like to know what having a penis is like. Just once.)

1. I'm really glad I'm not the only one that feels that way!

1. Me too ;_; It creeped me out so badly. I can still remember when it happened, it's hard to think of someone trivializing it in a fic. X_x

[(Anonymous)]

Who says it was trivialized? The fic I read was in fact a very good and very frightening psychological piece from the POV of one of the killers, not earning sympathy for them but showing how frighteningly ordinary and seemingly logical their thought patterns might have been, even though they obviously weren't. Not all fanfiction is fluffy and stupid. That's exactly the kind of attitude that makes people never take fanfiction seriously as a form of writing.

[liltigre.livejournal.com]

..... As a social worker and someone who spends most of her time working on psychological studies in fanfic, I take exception to that. I'm well aware that not all fanfic is stupid and fluffy. I do take exception to that sort of thing being called 'fanfiction'. Fanfiction rather implies that one is a 'fan' creating 'fiction'. Call it an introspective piece, but not fanfic. I'm sure that for every 'study' done like you suggest, there's a dozen more that are 'fluffy and stupid'.

I suppose it's easy to consider it a literary form when the shootings are just images on a TV screen. When you see the consequences of those things every day, then it's not a casual thing, nor is it something to just write 'fanfic' about. Not when there are people still hurting from it. It's out of respect for them, if nothing else, that these sorts of things shouldn't be written.
