morgandawnThank goodness fandom never got this memo: where would we be without the My Little Pony crossover porn, the wingfic and the sea cucumber shapeshifting slash?
"... the net is probably not the best place for [fans] to display their work. It is also accessed by a much wider audience, and there will therefore be pressure to avoid extremely graphic scenes, the most controversial topics, and the weirdest settings and plots. "

Date: 2011-03-19 05:19 pm (UTC)The pressure still exists, but it's far less effective online than it was previously. The sense of anonymity probably contributes (whether that sense of anonymity is true or whether it actually provides any safety is a whole other issue), but also just the fact that the internet is so large. More fans get together, spark brainstorms, and if you get like-minded fen around each other, they're much more likely to follow the rabbithole down farther.
But who saw that coming in the 90's?
(Maybe anyone who saw the proliferation of porn of all kinds on the internet coming would've seen the proliferation of acceptable fandom tropes coming...)
