But on the other hand, I know plenty of cosplayer friends who are creeped out beyond belief to discover that someone, somewhere, has used their pics as fetish fodder. So I'm assuming that many fanfic writers feel the same way and it's just... not a good idea to say so unless you know the author will only be amused or flattered.

That's totally different though. A cosplayer pic is a picture of that person. So yeah, it's super creepy to hear about a stranger getting off to it.

A fic is an item of craft that somebody made, that is not necessarily about the author at all. It's about the work. And it's erotic fiction, so presumably, turning readers on is the intent. It's not at all like someone saying they get off thinking about me. The story is about the characters, not the author.

It's clear that everybody has their own perception of this issue, but personally, yes, this is exactly how I see it!

I tend to agree, but I do know some people who take their fanfic very, very personal, like "it's an extension of my soul!"

(But indeed, if that "extension of your soul" is erotica and you put it out in public, uh...)

At any rate. The cosplay comparison was just an example of "what is not offensive to one person may be offensive to another", and I can't imagine (well, okay, I probably could if I tried... maybe...) a scenario where it is a better idea to leave a review that says "I jerked off to this" than it is to leave a review that just says "This is super hot".
