Because you are writing porn about fictional people and it’s not real. Commenters who cross the TMI line are bringing you into their personal sex life without giving you an option to opt out. That doesn’t stop being inappropriate because it’s happening on a computer screen instead on face to face.
Oh, definitely. I was mostly being facetious in my original comment, but yes, that is very true. BUT. To be more serious: I think the problem is, in a world where sexual-styled language is used to describe things that aren’t sex all the time, and where some people find some things more vulgar than other people, and when commenting on one’s personal reaction to fic is considered a good thing, I can see where the line gets blurry.
Like, “wow, good smut” to “hot” to “hnng” to “I’ll be in my bunk” is an easy to follow progression, and all innocuous (especially since that bunk-line is explicitly a Jayne quote when in context everyone knew he was being inappropriate but it works well as fandom short hand? If you’ve observed any Whedon/Firefly fandom, anyways) but then it is a really small side-ways step to more physical comments that still aren’t explicit for all they’re obvious iykwim? *shrugs*
idk. I’ve gotten a few comments that I think were more than I needed to know, but very few that I could unequivocally say were pushing the lines of appropriate in a generally accepted sense such that maybe I should say something about boundaries.
I Love that fic so much, I know we're going o be hurt...I'm already ready fr the fact that Alec's hurting will hurt me (and Magnus). Thank you for your work
awww, the hurting’s almost all past tense, it shouldn’t be too bad. Then again, I usually think it all ends well, this isn’t so bad! and then people yell “ow” at me, so perhaps I’m a terrible judge of such things?
I still very much love this story!
I’M SO GLAD. I’m still sorry it took so long. 💖💖💖
re: followers. We are a hedge, please move along.
agreeing with office & bedroom not being a good combination.
yeah, we’ve been trying to figure out a way to rearrange for awhile, cuz the husband’s office set-up isn’t really working either, but we have to keep him sort of separate since he teleworks periodically? *shrugs* We’ll figure it out eventually.
ughhh thata sucks about the power. good luck hunting down the chocolate and please save some for me!
sorry, ate all the chocolate. there’s some bailey’s left, if you wanna join me for alcohol at some point tho? 💗
