Definitely not. These types of stories usually lack any real literary merit. They are more about titillating the reader with sexual details rather than providing any kind of profound insight. Good literature should be about exploring the human condition, society, and culture, not just about sexual fantasies. And such stories can also be offensive to many people, so they have no place in proper modern literature.
Well, 'Blood of the Dragon' is considered a top HotD fanfic. It has amazing character development, especially for the main characters like Rhaenyra and Alicent. Then there's 'The Targaryen Legacy' that follows the descendants of the Targaryens in a new and exciting plotline. 'Fire and Ice: A HotD Tale' is also great. It combines elements of mystery and political intrigue which are very much in line with the themes of HotD.
I'm not sure who this 'Douglas Smith' specifically is in relation to such inappropriate stories. There could be many people named Douglas Smith, and it's not ethical to promote or be associated with 'sex smut' content.
It's a light novel that likely involves some sort of action or adventure. Maybe it has elements of a post - apocalyptic world or a unique fantasy setting. Without more context, it's hard to say specifically.
One way is to have strict community guidelines. Platforms that host fan fictions should clearly state what is acceptable and what isn't. For example, any explicit sexual content should be prohibited.
Well, it can have a negative impact. Such fan fictions often focus on inappropriate sexual content rather than on the positive aspects of the original work. It might divert the attention of readers from the real themes and values of the story. For example, if it's based on a fantasy series, instead of exploring the magic and adventure, people get distracted by the smutty parts.
One interesting 'hotd fanfic' story could be about the characters going on an unexpected adventure outside of their usual setting. Maybe they encounter a new type of dragon that they have to figure out how to deal with.
