Anyways, it sounds nice that they're okay with fanfiction, but idk, they can't just ignore the laws concerning fanfiction (especially the really creepy incest kind) forever?
I have split opinions here; in a way I agree with you, but at the same time, I want to wave signs saying "Don't Like, Don't Read!" I mean, yes, incest is in most cases creepy (to be honest and revealing, I sort of shipped a brother/brother pairing in another fandom -- Liquid/Snake from Metal Gear Solid. HOWEVER, I'd like to note that they had never met until they were in their 30's, only Liquid knew Snake was his brother, they're both clones and not "actual" brothers, Liquid is generally pretty screwed-up in the head, and I shipped it one-way (Liquid -> Snake) because I thought that A) it tied in nicely with is hate-admiration-jealousy-godknowswhat relationship with Snake, and B) he was sending out some really strange/creepy vibes in the game. So, er, yeah, I'm a nut, but as was he. But I sort of liked it because it was so twisted and creepy.) but there are books being released with incest and/or underage-sex themes, so if that's allowed, why not fanfiction? Don't get me wrong, I do go "... Ew." about Sirius/Regulus fics, for example, and apart for my guilty pleasure for one-sided Liquid/Snake, I'm not really into incest. But I'm against the idea of setting rules like "You can't write about this," because if one thing is forbidden, why can't X also be? I don't like other people setting the boundaries; it's a principle of mine. But yes, this is a tricky and sensitive question. (Especially since you brought up incest. XD;; I tend to avoid conversations about that, because I'm of the opinion of the siblings (note siblings, and not child-parent) didn't know they are related or it's revealed much later in their relationship, it shouldn't just be shoved into the same category as the icky uncle molesting his nephew. However, I seem to be the only one with this opinion.)
... Gods, have I utterly offended/insulted/freaked you out? If so, I'm so sorry. I try to avoids discussions online because I get so ranty with my opinions. D:
