I know that LW is a topic that's been discussed to death, but for the writers that post there, may I ask why?
I'm assuming that the most popular answer is 'because fuck them'. I like and respect that answer, but that category is such a cesspool that I can't even conceive of posting a story there. Fuck the idiots that vote and comment in LW. Got it. But is there another reason? Am I missing something?
If I had a story that would normally go there, I would strip it of any sex and put it in non-erotic.
There are readers in LW who open every story and give it a 1. These people are disturbed. Half the voting/commenting readers want the female lead to be drawn and quartered and the other half want reconciliation regardless of how abusive the relationship is(was?). There is very little room in the middle.
I just don't get the readership or the authors that spend their valuable time and considerable talent wading into that waste.
