Re: Do you enjoy cheating in shipping fic?

[(Anonymous)]

1.) Yeah. It's not something I'd probably read regularly, no, but if the story handles the struggle and complications of the situation realistically enough, I think it can be an interesting experiment to see how the characters would handle such a situation if it came up. I don't condone cheating in real life, of course, and I wouldn't be keen on seeing any pairings I like get together that way in the source material itself.

But in fanfic, I think it can be an interesting way to explore another potential facet of a character-someone who you wouldn't expect to cheat, what would cause them to suddenly do so? Somebody who's known to be a bit of a player is the one being cheated on instead? How would that affect them? And so on and so forth.

2.) I would generally be more likely to read a story where one half of the pairing is cheating with the other half, instead of on them, mainly because my focus would be on the pairing I like either potentially getting together, even if it's under less than ideal circumstances, or struggling with the idea of ever doing so if they're feeling guilt over the affair.

But if a well-written story handles one half of a pairing I like cheating on the other half, at the very least I'd check it out out of sheer curiosity.
