This is me, being appropriate and not highjacking another thread to express myself...

I dream of a day when I don't get "pedophile" branded on my forehead when I mention hobbit smut.

Discuss at will..... or, if it is deemed overly.... fractious a subject, I respectfully agree to a removal of this post by the admins. I'm an adult and I can do that.

I'll be stating more after I pick up MY CHILDREN from daycare......

Sorry Silver, that was just too funny! I don't see why people pu that label on you; I mean, it's not my cup of tea but I'm not about to make you out to be horrid because you prefer Hobbit smut to Elf smut Twisted Evil

Augh. Still can't stop laughing! Drunk

Poor dearie.

Take comfort with the fact that people are only equating it to size. Nevermind that hobbits must have all had the libido of ten 16-year-old boys. Silly litte rutting rabbits... how else do you have 13 children?

*sigh* well, just put it to my frustration at the following sum up:

"orc-smut+=weird, Grima worship = strange yet tantalizing, Eomer/Eowyn incest = squiky but livable, Twincest = hot hot hot!!!
and then you say hobbits and you get 'Ewwwww!!!'
It's enough to make me cry sometimes.... When has being short ever been 'disgusting'??
You'll have to excuse my sad sort of snarkiness on the subject, these wonderful characters just get no respect and I feel like I've read another book altogether.............. bleh.
I could have sworn it was about three friends who joined a fourth on a deadly dangerous quest, and along the way they met, helped and were helped by a wandering exiled king whose promised bride waited sixty years, an elvish prince whose father's kingdom was under siege for years, a brave dwarf who left behind his people's isolationism to participate, a courageous captain general of a people beset by the enemy, who came to them following a dreamed riddle and redeemed his flaws with honor, and a wiseman sent from the gods --- and many other worthies along the way.
When Eru saw that the wise and the mighty would fail, he twitched the weave to bring the Ring to these people whose 'worth was greater than their stature'.
'Hobbits, ewwww!' indeed............ So there it is ladies and gentlemen..... my pet peeve in black and white for all to see... and I will now sit and stop even responding to that kind of comment, since I have had my rant here...

I really do like you all, without exception! I hope I have not offended anyone.

Nono, I love hobbits, really! They've always been my favorite characters; so down to earth and all. I just think Hobbit smut is..well, kinky!

Frankly, I'll read any smut at all if it's good, I have no prejudices. I haven't actually read any Orc-smut, but there may be something cool and depraved out there. Elladan/Elrohir is my current obsession, though. Yum. Cool

You tell 'em!

I completly agree...I have no idea why exactly people think hobbit smut is wrong... wtf

The phobia with short folk is wearing on my nerves... I don't seem to understand why fluffy, sweet fan fictions are the only thing that appeal to people when it involves hobbits mainly. (not that I don't enjoy that group of fics...)

As to the incest issue...It doesn't appeal to me at all. Confused

I think this is the perfect demonstration that one person's squick is another's OTP. We're all pervy wenches here, I don't think anyone needs to play the "My kink is better than your kink" game.

Kinks all around! Drunk

I don't mean this to point fingers or to say anyone's guilty of wrong-doing because I think all you guys here are great. This is just something I've been itching to point out for a while.

I don't think anyone has made any purposefully malicious or hurtful statements, but I think some insulting things have been said unintentionally. When you say 'eewww, the thought of Hobbit smut makes me feel like a pedophile', then I can see that being insulting to our resident Hobbit fanciers. I mean, think about it guys - they're Hobbit fanciers - they fancy Hobbits. When they see statements about Hobbit love=pedophilia, then they're probably feeling like people see them as sexual deviants who want to go trolling for 12-year-olds or something.

If you want to say Hobbit smut isn't your cup of tea, that's one thing, but to give it a label equaling sexual misconduct is bound to hurt somebody's feelings. Hobbit fanciers are a minority around here, but we should still do our best to make them feel like part of the group.

Some of us might not find Hobbits sexy, but I'm sure Hobbits find other Hobbits pretty sexy. Laughing

And to be quite honest, that Dominic Monaghan is a little cutie. Hell, I'm sure I could find a footstool for him to stand on.... Very Happy

Andreth my dear, you have again put it quite nicely! My thanks.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I enjoy smut in all its glorious variations when it is well done, and while some of it is distinctly not my cup of tea, you wouldn't catch me dead saying some of what I've heard.... And that's all I was hoping for, a little respect for some characters that don't get a lot, and for those of us who choose to enjoy them as whole characters:)

As Ellbee so well said:

Well said, Anna! That's sorta what I was trying to say..guess it didn't come out very well, though!

Doncha just love this smilie Drunk

I think there is a tendency, established by Tolkien himself, to think of the Hobbits as children; a tendency he clearly undermines often and again. Yet the impression can linger ...

Hobbit/Hobbit smut is no problem to me. But, I'll admit, Hobbit/Man smut is something I avoid.

But, if I choose not to read a story because of the pairing, I still don't go so far as to think the author is twisted. This is all imagination, right? That's like assuming every novel is necessarily autobiographical.

Now, that's just wrong!

PS: Go SML!!! I think you handled this very well, asking for opinions and stating yours. I'm sure it wasn't easy, so, I say Well Done.
