Pern fandom was my first fandom and it was such a bitter disappointment what happened. I had so many fic ideas but they never saw the light of day because of how the fandom turned out.

I do have a bit of a disconnect when it comes to creators who died before I was even born. Like, gayness isn't the only thing that would offend or upset them but they are products of a different time. We don't live in that time now and we couldn't really emulate it. I find people who are upset that Tolkien wouldn't approve of gay relationships are just upset because they don't approve. They so conveniently forget a lot of the other stuff that's aged badly because that's not the thing they actually care about so it's easy to ignore the argument.

It's a little harder when the author is actually still alive, although then I can see how the author is behaving to judge for myself if I want to honor their wishes or not.

Do you mean McCaffrey or Tolkein? Because McCaffrey only died in 2011, so I hope you're not younger than that!

Tolkien wouldn't approve of gay relationships

Do we know that for sure? He was at Oxford for decades, after all. Or do you mean the catholic thing?

I mean, I personally have hope that he might have been more progressive if he'd been born in a different era given how he progressed in his attitudes around Jews and how he wrote women. But he was very Catholic.

I was mostly commenting on what other people are saying. That they insist he wouldn't approve and therefore it is okay to bludgeon fans on m/m or f/f pairings for 'doing it wrong'.
