AYRT of the AYRT

I totally get that. I would hate that too. I was more referring to the part where you say you hate that you're 'one of those people '. OP, there's nothing wrong with it. You're fine. Stop beating yourself up for enjoying smut in private.

OP

Aw, thanks nonnie! Maybe the way I phrased it come out more "I'm beating myself up over this" and less "when people talk about fandom and specifically fanfiction, they assume it's full of thirsty people reading smut" -- that is, I'm one of those people proving the stereotype correct, not writing or reading gen, meta, etc. Etc.

I guess the root of that is in some way "oh no! That's bad! You shouldn't!"; I just feel like I'm adding to the stereotype, and it's annoying, because you have all sorts of people reading and writing different kinds of fic. I don't fanfiction to be painted with a broad brush; I'm definitely checking off some of the boxes for the "type" that consumes fic...But, what can you do? Lol

Think of it this way, though: the reason we have smut in fan fiction is because no one is willing to offer us decent, interwoven, sincere and hot smut in regular (published) media. Noooo everything in media must be neutered! Because wrong sex bad! But violence good!

Eh. Screw em and enjoy your smut, just like you should enjoy everything else about fan fiction that is progressive and good.
