hoepfully the last qustion fanfiction question, this oen about ages
This one, I feel, is definitely something to get other eyes on. The inspiration for my own fanfiction is "in the Aftermath," and it deals with some possibly heavy topics i dont want to get into cause i dont want to spoil anything. my question is about aging up characters or not aging them up for a fic that might try to explore things of an intimate nature as well as darker topics like violent urges. The intent is to do this tastefully but authentically and without pearl-clutching, but my concern is crossing a line or in setting up a situation where people's knee-jerk reaction is to get upset some of the topics would probly include vampire feeding, siren culture being rather open and fluid about things, and the big one wednesday possibly dealing with violent thoughts and feelings that are outside of the norm for even an addams.. so ultimanty to age up or not.. aged up obviously removes a ptentialy unconfortable element. keeping them around the 16-17 mark on the other hand puts them into a position of coming into their own and learning who they are, it becomes much more a coming of age story where their haveing to figure things out while dealing with things liek werewolf pack bs, vampire politics, and general outcast cultural difficulties
