		<description><![CDATA[I just found this during a completely unrelated search: http://www.hatrack.com/research/questions/q0121.shtml It is Orson Scott Card&#8217;s vehement opinion about fanfiction. I know nothing about OSC, other than that he&#8217;s written some excellent books, and I was just struck by his negative attitude toward fan fiction. First of all, I cannot see any group large enough even [...]]]></description>

In these genres, everyone&#8217;s physically attractive. I get that it&#8217;s part of the fantasy, but when I look at real people in the real world, such [...]]]></description>
