heatherly's essay elsewhere, I encourage you to read it.
You know, if that's the sort of thing you like to read.
I say this in full admission of fact that I disagree, or rather, approach differently a couple of points in the second half of her essay -- primarily from a ideological and practical POV as opposed to disagreeing with her en toto of a writer's responsibility. I'm pretty sure I'll have additional thoughts on that in a bit, if I can get my thoughts organized in such a way as to present them as less contention than perspective.

Date: 2007-06-08 04:05 am (UTC)What I got out of it is that part of the problem as it were is that a certain portion of writers don't seem to feel that topics such as incest/underage/non-con are problimatic topics and that we can't just say "it's fanfic, SFW?" that doesn't let you off the hook. The topic/theme is still problimatic/thorny and you as the writer need to be cognizant of the fact and own up to it ... in some fashion.
And I say this as somebody whose current primary fandom is all about teenagers getting it on, and where the 17 year old kid sleeping with the 30 MILF next door is canon. (And holy shit were there some HOT fics written about that. Ones that totally got into why she gave in ... even though she knew it was wrong.)
