This is a bit of a rant but I’m also trying to create an actual disucssion here.
Why in the world does so much Narnia related fanfiction involve incest? Indeed the majority of the “pairings” in such stories involve in some combination two of the Pevensie siblings. What would CS Lewis think?
That CoN fanfic writers were perverts.
He’d most likely be correct. I wouldn’t read that stuff, bruh.
First of all, you do know the term “slash fiction,” don’t you?:
The point of a lot of fan fiction is to pair up unlikely couples into a sexual relationship. I have no idea how much Narnia fan fiction involves incest (and I suspect you haven’t done a thorough job of finding out how much either), but I suppose that incest is one easy way of creating such unlikely couples. The entire point to annoy people. If you annoy the author, so much the better.
“Unlikely” isn’t the word I’d associate with slash. “Homoerotic” is much more typical. Kirk/Spock is probably the archetype, not Stalin/Thatcher or Greg/Marsha. (Carol/Alice would be pretty hot, though.)
I’d agree with Curtis that it’s squcky as hell in this context. The solution is to leave that stuff alone. There are a lot of good books to read out there that don’t involve incest in mystical lands. Life’s too short.
The same reason it’s true in every other work.
[ol]
[li]Because they are the main characters, and thus the characters people have the most connection with. They’re the easiest to pair up. And since they aren’t your relatives, or even real people, it doesn’t feel so wrong.[/li]
[li]Because it’s taboo. Since it’s fantasy, people get to explore that taboo, without it hurting anyone. They still get to have the shock value. Heck, for some, the shock value itself is attractive. Throwing it in a Christian work is even better.[/li]
[li]And then there’s rule 34. If it exists, there is porn of it. So this stuff has to exist. And since it’s the most controversial, it’s going to be shared, just like rubbernecking at a car crash. And if that’s what people run into, that’s what they’re going to wind up making. So IncestYay self-propagates.[/li][/ol]
My god, why are you reading Narnia fanfic?
There is a hell of a lot of pornographic fan fiction written for everything. Most of it (the pr0n, that is) seems to be adolescent drivel. If you wish to avoid obscenities, don’t read any fan fiction on the internet. It’s the only way to be sure.
(Of couse, with Narnia we do have the Problem of Susan.)
IIRC, he kept referring to them as Daughters of Eve and Sons of Adam. If you believe in what the Bible said, those children had to have sex with each other to populate the world. So…incest.
There is Bible fanfiction. Including incest and porn.
Peoples is weird.
From an episode of Supernatural(a show about two brothers):
**Dean: Dude, have you seen this fanfiction about us? In some of it…we hook up.
Sam: But…we’re brothers. Don’t they know that?
Dean: They…don’t seem to care.
**
In Supernatural, they learn that their show exists in book form in their own world. I love this show.
Well, it’s not like the actual Bible has incest or anyth…um…never mind!
To the OP: Fanfiction is Sturgeon’s Law augmented. At least 99.9999% of it is crap. Quite a bit of it really sick crap. “Rule 34” came from SOMEWHERE, after all. There IS good fanfic. It’s as rare as alien-bacteria-covered meteorites, but it exists. There’s decent fanfic. There’s a bit more of that than the previous, but not a whole lot more. Then there’s absolute drek that wouldn’t even make it to the slush pile of any competent publisher in the real world. Hell, some of it the publisher it was sent to would probably notify the FBI about. And there’s a LOT of that!
This brief moment of squick was brought to you by misreading the above as “Carroll/Alice”. :eek:
Yeah, I read this really disgusting story about Lot & his daughters!
You could ask this about any fanfiction culture. Bottom line is, people are perverts.
And I wouldn’t have it any other way 
This is why in my Narnia fanfic I focus on the kids sucking off Jesus-Lion. I think that’s much more tasteful than delving into incest.
I did read it that way – and thought the pairing so obvious that there must be fanfic about it. (No, I haven’t looked.) Nabokov/Lolita would be another obvious pairing.
Aslan/Tumnus?
I’ll be in my bunk.
You ain’t seen nothing until you read Anne Frank furry fanfiction.
The sad part is that it’s probably out there.
And if it’s not, someone reading this is probably correcting that matter as we speak.
