@Guest_daddy's girl_* - Something to keep in mind is that the poster above you offered what he or she felt was legitimate concrit. Most authors LIKE it, as it helps them in their writing. Because someone leaves a comment that isn't all hearts and flowers, doesn't mean the comment is any less legitimate, nor does it mean you tell that person to find another story because YOU disagree.

Thank-you DG, I could see daddy girl's response if the posting had been rough & critical to an extreme. Writer's, as you said, appreciate input even if it points out things that we might not have thought of. Hell some folks make a living out of criticizing stories, plays, films, etc. and they're not all camdy coated.

uhhhhhhh.....that's HORRID.

I read a Guy N. Smith novel that went a bit like that once. The eighties were great for horror. Now... *growls and grumbles*

JayDee is right on the money, and we also have subcats for a couple of bands, as well as a subcat specifically for Jrock/Jpop/Kpop fics. We have a specific form of disclaimer that must be used for any story involving real persons, and all celebrities MUST be 18 years of age or older. We delete any stories involving real persons under that age of 18 with no warning. Now, the burning question... what do people think of them? Well. People are writing them, so I expect they do like them. The site permits them, and as an archive moderator, I will read them to ensure compliance with site rules, and leave my opinion at the door. But since you asked... I keep thinking about these real people, and their very real families and friends, and how all of those real people would feel if they read some of what's been written about them. My personal opinion, which in no way reflects site policy, is that it's a Very Bad Idea to write about real people. No matter how much I turn this one around in my head, I just find it nearly impossible to equate "I adore Famous Guy" with what was just done to the poor bastard by the adoring fan/author. À chacun son goût, however.
