I’m happy to be getting to the point where I don’t have to feel weird about enjoying fanfiction, or having written a bunch of it. Partly it’s that the fandom experience has become more broadly shared. Partly it’s that I stopped giving a shit.
And as for why I like the porny sort of fanfiction, see above. She says it better.
I like sex with context. I like sex when it involves fully fleshed out characters. I like the backstories. I like feeling like these people do other things when they aren’t having sex.
Yesterday I felt ashamed about sex not because of the sex itself but because of a friend and I knew I shouldn't have but this made me feel 100x better knowing someone else out there doesn't think I'm weird and they get it.
