Here at WWAC, we are never afraid to speak our minds, even–especially–when our minds don’t fall in with the reigning sentiment. Whether we are loving Gambit and sexy fanfiction, or hate hate hating that awful Dr. Strange trailer, we are going to share our honest criticisms and critiques. Because that is what we do.

There’s more sexy talk in our April Sex month as WWAC explores and learns from the eroticism of sexy fanfic.
For many, fandom wasn’t just a way to explore the impossible; it was also a safe space where people could talk frankly and honestly about sex. It’s one of the few spaces where people could talk about preferences and kinks and not feel judged for them. YKINMK (your kink is not my kink) wasn’t just an expression to let people agree to disagree, but explicit acceptance.
