But since you all seem to have experienced plots are equally good in T fics, maybe the difference just isn't that big :)
Look at you guys getting way ahead of my only-a-few-years-older-generation :)
Reading fan fiction smut and explicit romance novels is like pornography for girls. Though we may not always be conscious of what it does to us, it damages our hearts, our minds, our view of life. It numbs our sense of Right and Wrong and gives us a fake, shallow idea of what True Love really is. It's so, so easy to get addicted to this stuff, and the slope back up is very slippery. Sugarcoat it all you like, but that's the truth.
Every day, in this second-hand sex culture, girls get into things that scar their hearts and destroy their innocence prematurely...whether it be movies with sex scenes, M-rated fanfics, erotica or explicit music. I refuse to stand by and not speak up for my generation.
No doubt this rant and my "close-mindedness" will make me very unpopular around here, but if that's the price I have to pay for speaking the truth, so be it. And with all due respect, if my standards seem too high to you, maybe it means that yours are too low.
All of these comments are our opinions and no one can claim that only theirs is the truth. Also, when did I ever say your standards were too high for me? I know you said it with respect but it still seemed like an insult to me.
I know. It seems totally harmless, doesn't it? But as I said before, it's not always something you're aware of. It's often a long-term, unconscious thing. So many people act on impulse, wanting the fun and good feelings "right now" without thinking of the long-term consquences. As I said before, M-rated stuff and explicit romance novels are like pornography for girls. Okay, so it might not always damage your view of life, but it definitely will damage your heart and mind. When you play with fire, you will get burned. The more sleaze you get into, the harder it is to get out...regardless of where the sleaze comes from. (And there are statistics to back up this stuff, just so you know. Do your research. I'm not just spouting off stuff because it's "my opinion".)
"It's nice to be able to just let your imagination run wild for a little while."
Does that make it right? Is it healthy for your imagination to be used in that way?
"If people are silly enough to believe that that's what true love really is, then maybe they deserve the heartache that usually accompanies this naivety."
I'm not saying that when they read this stuff they consciously think, "Oh, that's what true love is! Wow!" Again, it's something they aren't always aware of. Everything - literature, movies, music and other media - has a message to tell us. If we get too comfortable with the wrong messages, thinking "oh, it's only a book/movie/song/fill-in-the-blank", eventually they will take hold of us and influence our choices - big and small. It's like the "boiled frog" experiment.
"All of these comments are our opinions and no one can claim that only theirs is the truth."
Alright then. If what I'm saying isn't based on solid facts (which is is,) - if it isn't the Truth - then let's at least call it Common Sense.
"Also, when did I ever say your standards were too high for me? I know you said it with respect but it still seemed like an insult to me."
I'm sorry it sounded insulting; I didn't mean it like that. And you didn't say my standards were too high, I know that. But many other teens like you have, and that tells me that the water's slowly but surely heating up and the other "frogs" aren't aware of it. I'm simply the frog who jumped out of the pot right away while the others laughed at me for being so "uptight".
They say there's nothing to worry about and the water feels great. Maybe it does. But I know what will happen eventually, which is why I try so hard to warn them and get them out before the water boils.
At the end of the day, I'm gonna end this discussion because the FanFiction spot isn't really the place for it. Feel free to start a forum post about it in the Debate spot though.
Thanks again for being such a good sport. Not everyone is as polite as you (and that includes me sometimes, lol). Have a great day! :)
Anyway, I see 'M' is winning. Dirty minds out there....
As for me, I rarely check ratings. I'll read almost anything as long as it's well-written. Or funny. I love funny. The majority of the stuff I both read and write, though, is T, usually mild or moderate T. And, with my writing it's not usually because of 'dirty' stuff, more like my terrible language. If there is sex stuff, it's mild. Though I am working on something right now that's going to definetely be 'M' because, well...No, I can't reveal my secrets yet, not even on here...
Anyway, if there was anything in the fic that I thought was 'more than I need to know' I'd just stop reading it. End of story.
Ok, I'll shut up now, since I doubt anyone cares anymore, if they even did to begin with.

Yea, guess I end up reading a lot of smut - I DO prefer those with a plot, though. However, sometimes the humour/romance PWP stories can be hysterical! XD
But it depends on the pairing, really. I don't read much het smut, and think that sometimes the longer fics just get way too sweet and fluffy. I read slash the most now, but I think that those which are thorough and have some sort of purpose are way better than those completely without plots. And it's not all that bad if there are some smutty scenes in between :b
Or the author got worried that T wasn't strong enough, so they put it in M. I sometimes get worried K+ isn't enough so I bump it up to T. I'm fine with lemons as long as they're in fanfics with a plot. But not lemons in every chapter.
as long as the story is good :D
but I like to check out other things
Most of time, I read Penguins of Madagascar fanfics, and it's kinda hard to imagine the characters being..."Mature". It's very out of character.
I don't like K Fanfics, however.
Looking through my favourites, the majority are T's and K+'s with only 2 M's
The K and K+ is full with very short stories with not much meaning.
M is full with adult themes -not like i have anything against it, its just sometimes too much.
Usually staying in the range of T.
