Fanfiction for Grownups....

...SHOULD have been the title of my last post.  Many apologies 
for my error.  I'm always griping about inconsiderate listies, and 
then I go and act like one.

And now, to keep this from being a completely useless post.  
*grins*

Do y'all remember an article about "Harry Potter Porn" that a Mr. 
Christopher Noxon wrote?  It was published ages ago, but every 
so often someone new runs across it, and the whole debacle 
begins anew.

Take this, for example:

I have no problem with people's taste differing from mine, but it 
really tweaks me when they form such a concrete and 
unfavourable opinion of something they know nothing about.  
Like friends *koff* of mine who would lay into me about reading 
Harry Potter just because it was popular and supposedly written 
for children.  In my mind, blasting adult fanfiction like this isn't all 
that different.  I challenge anyone to read PoU, sex scenes and 
all, and come out at the end thinking it was "porn."

Ah well...enough rambling from me, eh?
