Ten years, and you still seem to have a middle school understanding... that takes talent!

No, it is not 'immoral' for women to write M/M.

Just like it is not immoral for male writers to write female characters, or for cis writers to write trans characters, or for trans writers to write cis characters. Just like it is not immoral for adult writers to write teenage characters, or for teenage writers to write elderly characters, or for writers of one race or colour or religion to write characters of another.

Writing about characters, experiences, perspectives and situations that are not our own is part of the point of writing in the first place.

And even if none of those things were true, fanfiction is not representation, period. So the whole conversation is moot before it even starts.

This, yeesh.

It's really not that serious. I have sometimes felt disrespected by fic that came across as homophobic and by homophobic behavior of women in fandom who liked m/m but who had a problem with gay guys IRL, that type of thing sucks and gets you on my block list quick. And yes some fic is fetish-y but nsfw fic in general is, the mere existence of fetishistic m/m erotica doesn't bother me at all. It is definitely possible for people to engage with it in a hurtful or like, kind of rude way but it's not wrong IMO to simply like the character dynamics of two guys together or find the mental image of the guys fucking hot. I would never call you immoral for fantasizing about m/m.

On the other hand, if you gain enough citizens, maybe you can rotate duties when it comes to receiving guests?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't imagine many people are daydreaming about that role to fulfill when thinking of Rivendell.

On the flip side, I am a weirdo that genuinely enjoys being in hospitality/customer service so I'm sure that is a plus for some ither lotr weirdos!

[(Anonymous)]

I applaud you for having this mental debate, but I do think you are overthinking it a bit.

As a male slash fan, my very serious thoughts on women writing M/M go like this:

more pls
ty in advance
also ty for all the years of doing the heavy lifting in a ton of slash fandoms that wouldn't exist without u
good shit carry on

[(Anonymous)]

I think Rivendell is beautiful but unless I could like not be a part of the hosting staff I wouldn't want to live there, otherwise I've always wanted to live in Lothlorien with Galadriel's people. And as an elf obviously as I wouldn't be allowed there if I wasn't.

Given the amount of thought and consideration that tends to go into man-written/scripted fantasies about lesbians, I'm on team women-and-not-men-writing-M/M even without the writer doing much research into actual M/M sex.

(One thing I've noticed about often-women-written M/M sex and M/M erotica written by men: the man-written stuff tends to start with a height, weight, and cock length description of each player as they're introduced.)

Books books books

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't been around consistently but I haven't seen a books thread lately. So what are you reading? What's the last book that you read and loved? Or maybe one you wanted to love but ultimately gave up on?

Somewhere Beyond the Sea

[(Anonymous)]

By TJ Klune. Sequel to The House on the Cerulean Sea. I just got my copy today and am excited to have a book I'm excited about!
