As both a reader and proud purveyor of smut, I wanted to point out the following. Just because many of the stories on the top ten most reviewed list are smut, does not mean that most stories are smut.
Smut is a good thing. It's self expression at it's most verbally graphic. Fanfic was created because we wanted to bend our favorite characters to our will.
When an author requests that we not write fanfic about their characters, as Anne Rice has, we respect that.
The first time you read smut you think, "Ooh, this is wrong, I shouldn't be reading this". The second time you read smut you think, "This is so wrong, I can't stop reading this". The third time you read smut, you're hooked.
Not every branch of smut is for everyone. There is some hardcore BDSM out there, slash is every where, and why not?
We write what feels good, even if it's dirty.
PS - SarahBella is my penname at both Twilighted and fanfiction.net.
