I read several hilarious and/or upsetting pieces of badfic today, including the most gratuitous and bizarre fictional context for child rape I have ever seen (and the child in question was Jon Stewart), with all kinds of hilarious badreader feedback praising their brilliance, talent with the English language (apparently not covering punctuation or modifier placement), eloquence, and sensitivity. perhael and I discussed why Jon Stewart always seems to be a weepy bottom and why, in fact, there's so much bad d/s in his fandom and he's always the sub. We don't know, but we feel the situation should be rectified. We have a banner and nebulous plans to create pseudonymous fiction with Jon on top.

I also had time to rewrite the ending of my Frank/Gerard story, so now it's just waiting for beta and I'm free to write Ray/Bob again, or work on the werewolves, or - wow, has my to-do list been whittled down so far, to just a couple of novels? Ahahah. Still in urgent need of a beta, though.

I SECOND THAT EMOTION.

Every time I see rape/child abuse used as a cheap device to create Angst, I'm sorely tested in my general "It's just fiction, and everyone should be free to write whatever they want as long as they don't try to pass it off as real" beliefs. Just, ugh, so gratuitous and gross.

Most people in fandom feel the way you do; it's just that a lot of badthors find it sensitive and intelligent when it is, in fact, cheap (and, well, unbelievable and stupid and poorly written, but I suppose that part is just poor writing the badthor couldn't help).

i can do a basic beta for you if you still don't have anyone in a few days? just, i've been pretty busy lately so it might take a week or so.

I may take you up on that! Wax finished her novel after all, so she might be able to do it soon. It all just depends if she's too tired or not. We'll see how the next couple of days play out.
