I'm glad people get enjoyment out of that creative endeavour. I'm just not on board.

Date: 2008-03-02 08:20 am (UTC)I don't doubt the skills on some of them though, others are just freaky because they so obviously aren't real and your eyes send you brain that message and it's really uncomfortable.

Date: 2008-03-02 08:29 pm (UTC)I've owned slash zines in the past, and I'd always have to cover up at least half of the artwork while I was reading because it would disconcert me so much I couldn't enjoy the stories.
And, yeah, the bodies hardly ever come close to matching. I have no problem enjoying those bodies (well, the really porno ones make me squirm, because some male parts ain't that attractive, if I'm going to be honest). I'd just prefer the real faces were still on them. Heh.
Here's the icon right back at you.

Date: 2008-03-02 10:46 pm (UTC)Well you know me, I never dismiss anything totally until I've tried it - ummmm yeah, I tried a couple of RPF's a while ago when I was bored out of my skull, one left me feeling a little like a peeping tom - reality TV for writers? The other was an AU and to be honest it was original fiction without the finesse and skills to create original characters, just stuck on familiar faces, just like a manip I suppose. No, have to say I just don't get it either.
I don't feel the need to imagine my friends naked, neither would I expect a total stranger to strip so I could photograph his dangly bits, I was always taught that a guy who strips you naked with his eyes was a lecherous bastard, it seems times have changed or are the rules different for women?
Oh just ignore my inner bitch today...
