Fan fiction and You.

[Farseer]

Just to add some spice to this discussion,

Possibly a little hot for me that spice but I'm happy to discuss here in our 'polite society' bubble!

Yes, that does sound creepy.

*nods* For me, yes.

I've read a couple of her fics and yes, it's deeply weird.

*nods* though basing that judgement solely on the interview, not having read the fics...which is possibly not overly fair of me but...

Just a new angle that might be interesting.

An interesting angle, yes, though I'm not sure if I've truly worked out the angle as there seem to be a few issues here, but I take it simply to be the most obvious...that just as we have freedom of speech etc, we should also have 'freedom of pleasure', and this concept of freedom of pleasure could/should then be applied to include whatever gives us pleasure in the form of fanfic writings in whatever form they take (including the use of characters from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic)?

Hmm...okay...I commented, then amended, then deleted. There are some things to think on with this but I will be back (she says after saying over an hour ago that she was heading to bed! ).

EDIT: ^ This sounds like I'm going to be negative but I just need thinking time to sift through my thoughts. I don't disagree with the sex vs violence etc comments, as an example, and think I even said something of that myself in the Adult literature thread once? END EDIT

Aside from the topic of rationale for erotic fanfic etc though, which I will come back to, I need to ask if you know if general My Little Pony fanfics are deemed acceptable by the show's creators?
