Reply to comment by rosecavan in I strongly dislike “smutty” books by [deleted]

I'd like to dispute fanfic authors mastering character development in smut scenes. But the thing is, the tags and comments and notes make it possible to quickly figure out what to expect, and loads of sex educators and intimacy coaches and professionals of various attached fields write fanfic.

XD yeah I definitely don’t mean all fic authors have mastered it, just that lots have. Fanfic still gets a bad rep sometimes and its just not accurate

Yeah it's just unlicensed self published books / short stories with all the pros and cons of self published material. And often it's only unlicensed because the original franchise wouldn't accept some part of the content even if they have a history of publishing fanfic of cast members as extended universe books.
