writing, painfully good fan fiction, my priorities and other related issues, but the frelling bronze age daggers won't let me.

So, instead, here's simply a link to the latest example of painfully good fan fiction that I've found:

'Thing', by Cimorene and Wax Jism. Warning: slash (R/S, cause I admit unashamedly to having become a puppyshipper): http://www.waxjism.net/pickle/stories/thing.html

(Edited to add: Just took a look at the website this story is hosted at and must confess to my total non-understanding of many slashers' fascination with boy bands and other Pretty Young Men. Not to mention the need to *slash* them. Yuck. Oh well, the story I just recced is still great.)

well, I don't have much time, having to finish writing a text on bronze age daggers *and* being sick ATM; so here's just a quick reply.

It is, to me, not a matter of reality but of *respect*. Also, there is a difference between a cartoon series about Jackie Chan (who, btw, doubtlessly authorised it) and *pornographic* RPS that does not even try to conceal who the author is fantasising about. Everybody is free to fantasise about whatever they want. E.g., hypothetically speaking, you're free to fantasise about me, although I would feel more comfortable if you didn't. (And please, don't tell me if you do... I really don't want to know!) It's your mind, and I can't control what's happening in it. However, as soon as you would make any fantasies about me *public* I would consider it a severe violation of my private sphere. All this is speaking hypothetically, of course. I don't want to accuse you of anything like that.

RPS is *public*, and that makes all the difference for me - and doubtlessly for the rock stars and actors who are being slashed, too.

What does "RPS" stand for ?
And apparently I misunderstood the topic. Sometimes I'm a bit slow on the uptake. Now that I re-read your initial posting I feel very stupid (well, I get that feeling regularly:-). It should have been very obvious from the beginning what kind of stories you were talking about. My only excuse is that it was long time ago that you explained the term "slasher fanfic" to me. Seems I didn't really integrate it into my vocabulary. As you may remember I don't read fanfics and have no contact to the "scene". But it's a weak excuse. I have absolutely no idea how I could be so far off track.

Needless to say (I hope) that I have never written or drawn anything pornographic involving real people. And of course I would never consider it. And I agree one hundred percent that putting stuff like this on the Internet (well, even writing it in the 1st place) is tasteless.

I feel so embarassed. This was was certainly one of my worst screwups ever. I'll have to remember to not ever enter a fanfic discussion again. I'm very very sorry.
