It was boring for me. Well, fanfic is new to me, Lizard. This time last year, I'd never read any.(well, ok, my bro wrote about star wars people a lot.)But we were kids, with no 'net and no slash.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I guess it did come out that way, but not on purpose. But you could've knocked me over when I found out how many people did that.

I'd have fact-checked that article a little more closely. Writers' U is run by Laura Hale, not Louise, IIRC. And there's a helluva lot of gen fic on the web; this guy makes it sound like every piece of fic out there is going to tarnish young minds.
What-ever.
I thought the Scotsman was a reputable paper; this reads like sensationalism.
It'll be interesting to hear if they actually shut any sites down.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, the whole thing was crap.

The Scotsman wasn't taken all that seriously by the people I knew in Glasgow, but that was a long time ago -- anyone?

Others are more explicit and much too bawdy to be printed here.
But you enjoyed looking at them, didn't you? And that's the kind of thing that will make people go looking for them...
And seriously: most kids will either not look, or when they don't understand it, they'll go somewhere else. And the writer clearly simply ignored ff.n.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
THE ANGSTY ROMANCECHARACTER: This is so wrong.
OTHER CHARACTER: Yet this is so right.
CHARACTER: I love you yet I hate you.
OTHER CHARACTER: Shut up, bitch, and kiss me.
CHARACTER: Fuck you!
OTHER CHARACTER: Hey, don't mind if I do.
CHARACTER: Noooo!
(Someone dies or kills self.)
Bwahahahaha!

I guess my impression of the Scotsman is warped because I know Alastair Dunnett was its editor for many years and I can't conceive of Lady D's husband running a yellow newspaper.
