(Anonymous) 2011-03-17 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)Humans like porn.
They always have.
Maybe YOU don't, but you don't get to tell people who read your book not to imagine them doing things that you don't want them to do. You put it out there, you can't control what they think.
And when you've created a character they identify with, they are going to imagine them having sex. They are going to imagine themselves having sex with them. They are going to imagine them having sex with another person in 'your' universe, because that's the way humans work. People were reading Romeo and Juliet and imagining what happened on their wedding night after Wills had it fade to black. They were imagining the hot hatesex that Petruccio and Katarina had.
And yes, guys see two atractive women and like to imagine them having sex together. And women see two attractive men and like to imagine them having sex together. YOU CAN'T STOP THIS.
Now, if you like, you can publish with the caveat that you do not want fanfiction created for the series. Hopefully they will comply. BUT YOU CAN'T stop them thinking this. And yeah, probably writing it down and sharing it. Because you don't get to tell people what to do with the characters who come alive in their mind. Because they read it with the filter of their own personal experiences, and those characters in their mind are now THEIR PERSONAL INTERPRETATION of 'your' characters. The best solution for you is to not publish your work, so that your beautiful characters can stay pristine and non-sexual just the way you like them.
And yes, your issue is with slash. Protest all you like, but I think you and I both know that you are offended by homosexualty. And for that, I judge you.

(Anonymous) 2011-03-17 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)Secondly, you shouldn't bring up Rule 34 because that's all about how WRONG and FUCKED UP fandom members are. It proves my points.
Thirdly, not everyone imagines characters having sex. In fact, I'd bet the majority of people don't.
Your points are all messed up.

(Anonymous) 2011-03-18 12:27 am (UTC)(link)And did you do it before you discovered fanfiction?
Personally, I was imagining Han and Leia doing it in 1980.

(Anonymous) 2011-03-18 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)Honey, you're fighting a losing battle here. And I think you knew it, posting here. Whay you really want to say is I THINK ALL YOU PEOPLE HERE ARE GROSS DISGUSTING PERVERTS BECAUSE YOU LIKE TO READ FANFIC WHICH IS OFTEN QUITE PORNY AND I THINK PORN IS GROSS.
But you know what? We don't
100 billion dollars was spent on porn last year. That's people who purchased it, mind. Many more are getting it for free. And some of US choose to get for free it in written form on livejournal, starring characters that we already identify with and we like discovering new amateur authors who we have things in common with and want to interact with.
There's a lot of non-porn fanfic. In fact, I'd probably guess that the majority of it would get an R rating or less, and much of it is not in the least bit sexual. Some of it is even religious in tone. Some of it is a way for an author to deal with issies they have had, like addiction, grief, illness or sexual assault. Hundreds of these secrets have been about how varius fanfics have helped people deal with major life issues.
The reason you are getting such grief here is that you are presuming to come on here and judge people for liking smutty fanfic ON A SITE FREQUENTED MOSTLY BY PEOPLE WHO ENJOY SMUTTY FANFIC.
Do you see what you did there? Either you are doing this for attention, or you are doing this because the fact that there are people out there who openly enjoy sumt offends your delicate sensibilities and you think that if they only had someone like you to point out that what they are doing is 'immoral' they will repent.
BUT WE DON'T THINK OUR MORALS ARE ANYONE'S BUSINESS BUT OUR OWN! ESPECIALLY NOT A NAIVE TEENAGER WHOSE LIFE EXPERIENCES PROBABLY CONSIST OF THINGS THAT HAPPENED AT HOME, HIGH SCHOOL AND CHURCH.
What we're trying to say is that when you get around more, you'll realize that you are fighting a losing battle, and one which it is not really your business to fight.
So keep writing. Maybe your book will sell. If you really don't want fanfic for it, then make that clear when you publish it.
IF you publish it.
And prepare to be mocked for your stand by your fans for your self-righteous, judgemental attitude.
