Tree House Round Table

Evening Tree housers!! As I am sure that everyone knows,
this is not your typical blog. I didn't want to simply review
a variety of fics and interview authors. There are already
a good 50+ sites that cover these topics. So today I am
going to start something new, something that I want to
try and do on a weekly basis.

Tree house round table.

Now I am sure everyone is asking themselves, 'what the
hell is tree house round table?'

Well, my lovelies, this is where I post a blog topic and
ask for every one's opinion on the topic. Some will be
funny, some serious and others just plan naughty.
But all of them will, hopefully, be informative and fun.
I would LOVE 100% participation, you do NOT have
to be a contributor to the site to voice
your opinion and NO opinion will be bashed. Just please
remember that every avi has a person behind it, we
know how to take constructive criticism, but just plain
hurtful is NOT how we shall be. 

That being said here is our first topic of discussion...

Underage readers of M rated fics. Most **cough** all,
of us here read M rated fics. We love filling in the fade to
black moments, and most of us write some of that citrusy
goodness. We put our warnings of 18+ in our A/N's but
we all know that it is not always followed. How does this
make you feel? Would you have read it at their age?
Would you let your kids/nieces/nephews read it?

I have had this discussion with several of you and I have
come to the conclusion that if you can check out a
romance novel from the library, then maybe they should
have some realism in their romantic views. 

Teenagers these days are different than we were. They
have more experience and better access to various forms
of educational material. Why not let them learn how a
man should treat them. That an orgasm is not a myth
and that they should actively explore their own sexuality.
A fic may also be able to show them that being gay is not
a bad thing, that people can and should accept them. Their
sexuality should not be a taboo subject and if a fic is their
only outlet to explore their needs, it is better than finding
them out on the street learning it from the senior boy who
is ready to hump and jump. 

So, this is my opinion. What is yours? PLEASE, inquiring
minds WANT to know. 

Must Reads

As you all can see I finally posted the lists that you gave me to the site. **waves off applause** Oh you all are WAY too kind.

The reason that we originally created the Treehouse was a for a place to recommend fics among friends without being judged. Here we can promote or discourage the reading of a fic as you each see fit. We are amongst friends here and I know that NONE of you are shy. If you see a fic on a list that looks interesting and you want to hear more about it, just ask. Leave a comment on here and find out why they loved it. No formal review process, no over analyzed discussion and no telling whether it will be a HEA or not. A refreshing approach to fic reviews, or so I think. Please comment, discuss, and randomly vent. This is our treehouse, just please no shoes on the carpet.
