I wonder if anyone else has noticed the paucity of mature HP
fanfiction? It seems to me that most Harry Potter fanfiction (for
that matter most general fanfiction) is more concerned with venting
the libidinous instincts of the creator rather than paying homage to
the original work. It is all fine and good if you would like to
snuggle up to Draco (actually it isn't, unless you are 13), but must
all fanfiction serve to play out sex fantasies? This is Harry
Potter,
not the Kama Sutra - it is not a primer for teenage groping. I have
been trying, and I know there are other like-minded people out there,
to write up a short fanfiction or two involving HP characters in
adult
(not ADULT as in the "industry") situations. So far I have only used
the older characters (Sirius, Arthur, Hagrid, etc.) and I have
attempted to use them in a way that both shows them as adults and
hopefully entertains. I hope others will start addressing the need
for mature fanfiction as well, so that I don't look like a complete
fruitloop.
If you are interested in seeing what I have written so far, or are
just bored, you can find my first story here:
