I think of children often - the children who watch twenty-five hours of television a week and can't concentrate long enough to read three pages of a challenging novel. If they're reading appropriately rated fanfic, at least they're reading *something*.
And if they should pick up the pen - and compose something longer than a text message, so that perhaps future generations of video-gamers and movie-renters will have some entertainment - even better.
Parents should take responsibility for protecting home computers and enforcing consequences for underage kids reading clearlyt labeled adult content, if the parents wish to do so.
