So I’ve had an article idea...
I think the general public (those who don’t consume fan work) often think of fanfiction as purely bad porn as, let’s be honest, that’s the stuff that’s fun to read out on talk shows.
So, with International Asexuality Day coming up, I thought it would be super fun to write a piece where I talk to ace fic writers who write and read fanfiction, and their reasons for doing so. Of course I’m well aware that aces may enjoy sexual content, but to those who aren’t versed in the definition of asexuality or don’t know much about the diverse nature of fanfiction, an ace fanfiction writer would seem pretty unlikely (so it’s also an opportunity to get some much-needed definitions in too).
With this in mind... ace fic writers, message me! I’d love to talk to you whether you read and write about ace characters and relationships, or if you happily read/write the smutty stuff. I’d actually like to speak to one person from each camp, if possible.
I don’t have a publication yet, but I’m thinking The Mary Sue might be a good fit, or maybe just my own Medium... we’ll see.
I know there are a tonne of great younger writers, but for this I want to speak to adults only please (18+).
