It's always appropriate to post a link to a fic you're referencing because nearly always, if you don't, someone will ask for it. ;)

Just so you know, though, this particular fic caused a fuck ton of drama in fandom after it was posted and many authors removed their fics from MW and bjfic.net in protest when it was allowed to stay up on those archives, so there may be some who don't respond positively to this fic.

I know authors in all fandoms put characters in every situation under the sun and give them every disease and malady in the medical texts, but there are two very definite camps regarding this fic.

Some think it's fabulous and cite it as a favorite; others are horrified and think it crossed an inviolable line and turned Brian into a pedophile since Justin can't give actual consent. There were several people who have children or siblings who are autistic who were livid and hurt that anyone would write or champion a fic about crossing this boundary.

As mysid says, it's kinda hard to imagine other similar fic. There's one where Justin is mute (by choice, maybe? I've never read it), that might work for your request, but I don't know the title or author.

I think I can understand how people can react so strongly given that thought process. However, I have two family members that are autistic, one high functioning, the other more towards the non-verbal side of things. Does that mean that I would never want those two family members to ever fall in love? No, and I'm sure if they do it will be in their own way.

I think Daniel Tammet stated it best in Born on a Blue Day:

Falling in love is like nothing else; there isn't a right or a wrong way to fall in love with another person, no mathematical equation for love and the perfect relationship.

Sorry, I just thought it was interesting to read this response to the post.

The whole premise of the Brian/Justin story line is most definitely NOT based on illegal love and sex. Justin was 17-1/2, which is a minor as far as voting, getting married, getting drafted, being considered a legal adult, etc. goes, but he was over the age of consent for sex, which is 16 in Pennsylvania.

That 29 to 17 age difference still may be squicky to some, but it wasn't ever illegal and Justin was in no way coerced.

I absolutely support the right of people who have mental/emotional challenges to find love and get married or live however they choose in that love relationship.

My comment referred specifically to that fic and the serious eyebrow raising (at the least) that it engendered. To keep it about fic, jans_intentions wrote a fic about Brian suffering a brain injury. Justin moved back from NYC to Britin to care for him and he definitely has residual issues. They resumed, after awhile, their sexual relationship. That's a much different scenario, IMO, than Kiss Me All Right.

And people can write and read whatever they want, most definitely. I was just pointing out that some people equally strong opposing viewpoints on that fic. I've never heard of any other fic getting so much attention due to subject matter.

Well, there was serial killer mermaid!Brian...

Damn, I thought I had that icon loaded here...oh well. Here, have some hair!porn!

I've seen plenty of fanfic that caused major drama over the years, so I shouldn't have been as surprised as I was when I first read your comment. I've seen some pretty squicky things in fanfic, so hearing that reaction to an Autistic!Justin gave me a moment of 'what...' (I also remember hearing about that jans_intentions story.)

[court1429.livejournal.com]

Prolly so. I've only ever been in this fandom so that was the first time I'd ever heard of a fic topic getting that much attention.

Squicks, like kinks, are very much a personal reaction, no different than preferences in taste or smell, IMO.

Thanks Court honey,

I know the topic is very delicate and I was kinda afraid to ask if there were simalar fics to it incase I caused problems.

I have a cousin who has autism but his is not the same as the one the author has written Justin to be....because hes very cheeky lol.

I guess what I loved most about the fic is the way the author allowed Justin to experince love and intimacy with Brian and I felt that because Justin said things like "lick Prian's lips" or what ever, that he knew that he wanted to do that and I also in general felt that Justin didn't do anything with Pri...sorry Brian,that was against his will,except of course for being taken back to the tower (hospital).

Its posible of course that im wrong about all of this but its just what I thought when I read further into it.

Im sorry if this was a bad question to ask in here,please don't kick me out.

Huge hugs x

lol Nobody's getting kicked out. We don't censor people's requests, I just wanted you to know that this fic comes with a "history" of very strong feelings about it.
