On writing for shock value, naziporn, chanslash, and all that jazz

[bubosquared]

A quote from a long time ago:

Writing cannot be wrong, I don't think, and sometimes it should be disturbing, just so it isn't all the same. I think the idea that boundaries should be pushed and risks need to be taken at times threatens people for whom slash has become 'routine', and I find complacency (and intolerance of differing opinions) frightening.

Referring to RPS, at the time, but I think it applies to a lot of things.
