• Frank and Gerard read fanfiction

  One last thing before I leave this: I'm pretty sure they're well aware that people write this stuff. However, they (to my knowledge) don't read it.
  
  The day they specifically ask for people to stop writing fanfiction about them is the day I will stop writing/reading fanfiction of them.
  
  but, to each their own.

  Wtf? No really, wtf? This is disrespectful to us, and I think they would never 'kick our butts' or call us 'emo'.

  As a male I can tell you quite categorically, that I would be totally enraged if anyone started writing homoerotic fics about me and one of my work colleagues. Seriously, I would feel violated and would feel nothing but hate and disgust towards anyone that would do that.
  
  People here are writing about real people - not made up characters like Naruto or Harry Potter, or even the Winchester boys from Supernatural, but real people
  
  These Frerard fics have no basis in reality, and are nothing short of character assassination!
  
  So many people think they can write whatever they want under the guise of 'it's only fanfiction', but in the 'real world' if people wrote those sorts of things it would be classed as defamation.
  
  I wonder if people would be so quick to write or defend frerard fics if they all had the person's real name and knew that Frank and Gerard were reading them?
  
  Because I think that should be the test that all Frerard writers and fans should use: Would you be happy to mail a copy of this story to MCR with your contact details on it for their opinion? If not, then maybe you shouldn't post it where you can hide behind your anonymity while telling yourselves that there's no harm done.
  
  As for being disrespectful - that's a bit hypocritical isn't it? You have to give respect to others before you can expect others to respect you.

  Honest review?
  I liked it at the beginning. The end freaked me out a bit, true, but still. I kind of wanted to write a story like this when I originally made my account...but I'm kind of a quitter when it comes to motivating, so. Um. Heh.
  And the authours notes, rants, whatever the hell you want to call them, they usually aren't as bad as they currently are. I find them fine in moderation; it shows how the whole fandom/community/whatever is there for each other, which is nice. We just have a lot of angry authours and many (or one) person who doesn't seem to be in a very good mood.
  But anyway, yeah. And this is why I'm glad frank says he doesn't even attempt to read fanfiction, because he knows that the authours dont want him to read it. So.
  Sorry for this excruciatingly long review, but I find it funny that someone had the "reality check" idea I had (well, not exactly so cruel, but...), and actually had the guts to do it.

  Well, as I said in a couple of other review replies, it probably was harsher than it needed to be, but was a lot milder than I originally wrote it.
  
  I doubt it will have any impact on the number of Frerard fics being written, especially since it was downrated to -1 by the time the first two reviews were written. Peace.

  Funny thing is, a year ago I probably would have raged about this like everyone else, but I've learned to not argue with people about reasonable opinions.
