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.
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.
No. Mainstream literature is meant for a wide and diverse audience, including minors. R rated sex stories are not suitable for such a broad audience as they contain explicit sexual content.
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 common theme could be self - discovery. Characters in these stories might be exploring their own identities, which can be inspiring for readers who are also on a journey of self - discovery. For instance, a character realizes their true values through an experience in the story.
Sharing such stories is completely inappropriate. Student - teacher relationships should be based on respect, education, and proper boundaries. Any form of sexual stories involving them violates ethical and moral standards and can also be considered as a form of harassment in an educational context.
