@twistedflax I feel constantly kinda guilty for writing fanfiction even though none of the people I write about have ever expressed discomfort at being written about. I remind myself a lot that I only use them as character templates really, because I have ideas and the urge to write but developing characters is difficult for me. I personally think as long as the subjects aren't uncomfortable with it and as long as its respectful, fanfiction shouldn't be a huge issue.
As a lesbian myself I worry about seeming like a yaoi type, but as long as boundaries are respected and such, that isn't applicable.
Take a break if you need one, of course- just keep in mind that none of us lot, and likely none of the people youve written about, consider you a bad or invasive or fetishizing person. X
