IMPORTANT FOR ALL READERS AND WRITERS :Note added on page 5 - Page 4

Hi Mary

I disagree with your statement about using the characters to write a story not based on the show. This is fan "fiction", after all, as the word suggests.

I agree that a writer like yourself would decide to not write explicit scenes, and that is your prerogative as a writer.

BUT

Nine year olds on the forum... I don't even know what to say about this...

Their own parents should monitor what they're even doing on the internet, and the writers on the forum shouldn't be restricted because of moral policing. Honestly, I have a child and I would not expect website owners to censor what's happening on their site, because I am not watching what my child is up to.

Not a PM, I wish to receive on a Monday morning, nonetheless moving on.

I didn't quite comprehend the intent behind this post, so I quickly skimmed over the comments and grasped the possible reason for the concerns raised, if this has extended from readers' comments/feedback on a particular fiction which is undoubtedly an exceptional read, its ridiculously unwarranted to categorise those comments and feedback as a demand for explicit content or constant romance.

As a reader and source of neutral introspect, it is safe to establish, writers do not wish to connect with their readers and the possible variation of mentalities therefore only desiring glorified and positive feedback.

The disconnect between writers and their followers are alarming, in respect of the above distresses, writers should perhaps include disclaimers to ensure they receive the content of feedback they desire to avoid this constant blame game, and general disregard to readers, this is ultimately a give and take relationship which lacks equilibrium.

P.S I find an argument over cyberspace pointless rather than mind stimulating.

P.S.S No offense ChocoBerry Mom, but this topic is becoming exasperating and over drawn.

well Di I am not a writter but I can actually understand ur furstration.

and honestly I may have give feedback to writter&asked them to give a thought but I haven't demand anything.
Like recently I've asked Juleit to update Wallbanger, epilogue of "the hidden trurths" with Kals
THATS IT

But Di don't u think we reader have a right to give our POV weather its negative or positive&u r taking that right away from us which Is not fair.

I think this was needed Mrina. Its been on my mind since I started my new story. Some readers only want romance from the first sentence to the last one. T

You can't write a story like that. They need to understand a story has many layers and romance is ONE of them.

Disagreeing is fine but there is a point at which Fan Fiction is not Fan Fiction anymore. At that point it has to do with the definition, not opinions. By definition, fan fiction takes characters written by someone else, such as TV and movie characters or stories. The character is someone else's and you are are taking it as a fan. So you can put them in different scenarios and try to keep to the character as best as you can. That is the only reason the readers are reading it, they want more of the same.

I place them in situations that the characters may not be in, I made Khushi a princess once, but her personality, her character had to be the same. It eased in to her being a royalty. So there is a way of taking liberties without violating FF rules. But if you start off the story with, Khushi is a prostitute in my story and Arnav a client and their personalities are completely different (true story, someone wrote that). That is a different story that is just using the name of the characters to get readers but writing a completely different set of characters and stories. Later we found out the girl plagarized the whole thing. It was a completely different story of someone else's that she stole and changed the names to Khushi and Arnav to get readers and comments here. That is a point where it is not FF, it is just taking a readership by using character names. This is how Fifty Shades of Grey became a separate book by the way, it could no longer be the Twilight Fan Fiction is originially claimed to be.

As for young kids being here, parents nowadays are not fast enough to police everything. The internet is a place where kids can really access a lot. Parents can try, but I gurantee they kids will see the po*nography one way or another, and worse stuff on the internet. So I as a writer try to use my best judgment about what I feel comfortable with them reading. It does not hamper my creativity. I am not saying writers should not write sex scenes anyway because of it. There is a tasteful way of doing it. I would rather a kid read a sex scene than watch graphic violence. IF has regulations about how much explicitness they allow anyway, so creativity to write graphic or explicity sex is limited anyway.
