A thought I had when writing a #fanfic recommendation: isn’t it time to retire the term crackfic for #fanfiction that is silly, strange, or funny? We no longer use terms like gay as an insult. Don’t people experiencing substance abuse disorder deserve consideration? No, I’m not saying that these two groups are similar, just that neither of them deserve mockery. Also, as a white dude, the more I learn about the racial aspects of the beginnings of the crack epidemic in the united states, the less comfortable I feel co-opting the word crack to mean silly.
