Hi everyone, I just wanted to send a general PSA, since I used to read a lot of fanfiction when I was younger, sometimes without proper discernment. There are many fanfictions are dark stories with very unchristian values and violent revenge plots etc. These stories often reject forgiveness as an option and show characters doing terrible things in great detail, such as torture, etc. I feel such stories are best left in moderation at best, but everyone has different views on such things.

Some fanfictions depict children or teenagers acting like adults, or in unrealistic relationships, sometimes even doing sexual acts. When reading fanfiction, please keep in mind the depicted age of the characters, and choose wisely.

I'm not saying all fanfiction is bad, there are plenty of great fics out there! Just be careful what you read, it is not all uplifting stuff. Have fun reading and writing everyone, God bless.
