I am the biggest fanfiction fiend you’ve ever seen. Read it, write it (though most of it isn’t released), love it. I’ve always known it was confusing as hell to outsiders, but this tells it like it is from another viewpoint, which is frankly hilarious. I like that it was given a tad of credit though, not just a simple “That’s creepy”. So, yeah, good on ya.

"In a deep, dark corner of the Internet"
Wouldn't that be a Child Porn Site?
I'll tell you what, Fan Fiction is usually written by 12-15 year olds and it helps in after school Creative Writing, Spelling , Grammar and Creativity. I don't know what sites you were on, However most sites in force these rules and many of the kids have better spelling and vocabulary then most Adults. So instead of trying to cut down kids who are writing, Why don't you go focus on Kids on Drugs or kids in gangs, 'Cause at least these kids are honest and not being unproductive members of society, such as yourself.
And Most Teen Fan Fiction Sites Do Not allow profanity or explicit sex scenes as you described, So just because you found a Bad site dose not mean all are as bad as you show.

OK, sorry, I'm kind of paranoid. But maybe you could have said it was for a project straight away? What kind of project is it?

mrstarhead, it's not, just some people think because they're feminists that everything they do is a feminist act. It's kind of a meme that's going round in fandom and has been for yours, but it's hotly debated.

This seems totally harmless, endearing even but the whole concept, like most fan fiction still has an incredibly creepy feel to it.

Could someone please explain why gay slash fiction is somehow feminist?

@kickingkeiko: Actually it's not an article or anything related to Idolator that I'm working on. Believe it or not I do exist outside of antagonizing fan culture on this site.

Also, this would be so much more interesting if I WERE "a fan girl with an agenda." But I'm not. I'm a college student. I study cinema. I've never written fanfic, never had a livejournal. I do have a blog in case you're curious as to my evil inner-workings: [averagethansmarterbear.blogspot.com]

My only agenda is that I want to interview some bandom people for a project I'm working on with a friend. Who's also not a FGW/A. And the project isn't an article. In fact, it would be physically impossible to quote someone for this project without their consent.

@GayDrawer: don't say i didn't warn you if you make a fool of yourself/she turns out to be a fangirl with an agenda/the article you'll be in is really mean/other unforeseen consequences happen.

kate, flattery gets you nowhere. except w/gaydrawer, apparently. and i think the main audience for anymore articles on this subject would be fandom, rather than anybody else, as they seem not to care that much. oh well, it's more unique visitors isn't it?

@GayDrawer: Yay for feminists in bandom! Also nice to see people that are in their 20s (and older) involved in this.

That's all for now.
