was not the 'sex education' part, but the fact that this person was encouraging underaged persons to read and write explicit material that could get web authors in trouble if they are caught.
A twenty-five year old encouraging fourteen year olds to write explicit slash just seems wrong to me. Plus the closing comment on the article is kind of disturbing.
We know we've complained about those prepubescent girls who write graphic gay sex scenes, so I've just found the answer write here: http://leegoldberg.typepad.com/awriterslife/2005/11/teachyour14ye.html
So, amused or shocked?
(Not that post, but a more recent one) I guess most people don't remember the Fanfic Wars of Lee Goldberg versus the entirety of Fandom? I made icons about that...
hS
Do you happen to be Constance Sim's writer...and hS's girlfriend?
*extends hand* May I shake your hand? Just because?
And, well, I /was/ his fiancee until a day ago, now I'm his wife . . .
Of course you may. (shakes hand)
You two are very, very lucky. My best wishes for the future!
...d'awwwwwww! Conga rats! *ees quietly*
Congratulations are in order then.
Why...congratulations! I'm very, very happy for the both of you.
(Pssst--I've posted some more Daffy/Connie pictures and icons on my LJ!)
Awww, it's adorable. ^_^ *cuddles Sedr*
~Neshomeh, being silly.
Can I keep her/him? Pweeeeeeese?
~Lily, who is collecting too many minis. Way too many.
Keep her? I suppose; sure. It's not like I can. Be warned, though; she's likely to have a hacking cough and smell of hair perm solution... though I'm not sure if she actually has hair. *shrug*
I mean, my own mini-Boarder Lily WInterwood doesn't exactly smell like roses. She smells (on a good day) like a perfume factory explosion and (on a bad day) fish. Not to mention that she is mildly schizopherenic and suffers from bipolar disorder.
Ah, well. *holds nose*
Lily WInterwood is not Lily Winterwood.
That's the lesson for today, kiddos.
... sex education is the same thing as paedophilia now? WTF?
I'm only looking at the posts on the board, and there's paedophilia? Where?
Someone commenting on the blog post article called the writer of the "how to tell fourteen-year-olds to write slashfic" a paedophile. I can't even begin to explain what's wrong with that.

The way I see it, fourteen-year-olds are gonna write that stuff whatever we do, so we might as well make sure they can do it correctly and reduce the number of disturbingly bad stories out there. Actively encouraging them to do it is kind of creepy, though.
If I dug up my fics from when I was fourteen they'd probably be excruciatingly painful, mpreg filled fics where at least one part of the pairing is severely emasculated. I like to think I've grown out of that now, so I can have hope that most fourteen years olds will also do so.Of course you still have older people writing stories where awesome characters get severely emasculated, even though in canon they are capable of defeating their opponent when their supposedly stronger friend fails against his equally strong enemy.
... it wouldn't be paedophilia whatever they did. It'd be hebephilia because the kid's post-pubescent. Not that I condone either, but even people who do that deserve to at least be referred to with correct terminology, no?And, assuming she was telling the truth, veterinarians-in-training writing fics in which a guy has something longer than his body jammed into his intestinal tract and doesn't even pass out. And lunatics writing terrifying things involving utter anatomy fail, creepiness, and rampant misogyny which hurts far less than it should because the portrayal of males is pretty damned unflattering as well. And the utterly eyebreaking one where the author assumed the penis and the prostate were different names for the same organ ...
WTF? Tell me you're joking about that last bit. NO-ONE could be that stupid. Could they?
'Twas some thing involving the Neopets fairies. One of them was turned into a hermaphrodite for some reason, and it was just weird in general even without the anatomy fail ...
