If fanfic has the power to meaningfully diminish the characters you say you've worked so hard on, your novel has more problems than the marginal possibility that someone might write porn about it.

Let someone write porn about something you care a lot about. See where you end up.

(Anonymous) 2011-03-17 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
um, nickelmountain has a ton of Supernatural icons, so I'm assuming they already know allll about it. :)

(Anonymous) 2011-03-17 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not the same? Nice try though!

(Anonymous) 2011-03-17 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
The problem isn't that she hasn't cared enough about something, I'm going to guess it's that she doesn't see porn as the degrading thing you see it as. You can't just expect people to view the world through the same filter you do.

And there it is.

Pardon me for expecting people to be decent, then.

Re: Truthy.

[identity profile] xanykaos.livejournal.com 2011-03-18 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Sweetie, that's just it. Your definition of "decent" isn't the same as everyone's definition of "decent." My mother's definition of "decent" is that everyone should worship god the exact same way, wear clothing that covers them from wrist to ankle, women should only wear skirts and never cut their hair and men should have super-short hair. That doesn't make that the correct definition of "decent." Same with people who think tattoos--all tattoos--and piercings are "indecent." No, it doesn't work that way.

If someone makes porn and then forwards it to you to be mean, then yeah, that person's being a dickweed. It's the act of deliberately trying to upset you that might give you a leg to stand on (though worth remembering that internet culture works just like any folktale--people are always waiting to see anyone with too high an opinion of themselves get taken down a peg). But the act of creating it? Sharing it with fellow fans? No. There's nothing inherently indecent about that, insofar as your feelings are concerned. In fact, it's pretty unfair of you to act like you have the right to control what people say, do, or create.

Yes, that includes what they say, do, or create with your characters. If you want them to stay pristine and perfect and pure, then the only thing you can do is never ever let another human being read your story. People think.

Yes. This. Exactly.

AMEN!!!

I'm working on an original story with some friends, and within about 5 seconds of story development EVERYBODY was shipping the two male leads. At first I was sort of bothered by it, because I seriously CAN'T see them in a relationship for a lot of reasons. But then I thought, hey, it means people like them, and find them attractive and think they have chemistry. So what if I don't see them as a ship, and it's not canonical?

So yeah, I totally wouldn't mind if people wrote porn about them, either XD

[identity profile] xanykaos.livejournal.com 2011-03-18 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Sweetie, do you know how much Bible!Porn there is out there?

I'm pretty well aware the stuff exists. It even pops up here occasionally. It's porn about what I care about most deeply.

I. Don't. Read. It.


Ooh. Problem solved!


(Also, if you're writing an ongoing series, you shouldn't be reading fanfic for it anyway. Gooood way to get in trouble.)

You can write porn about my parents. Or my granddad having sex with my brother. I truly don't give a fuck.

(Anonymous) 2011-03-19 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
In a happy place?
