I was reading an interview featuring the guys from Bastille the other day. They were talking about about the groups success and how generally they can go about their day in London without being recognized. But Kyle Simmons in the band threw out this line, “Sometimes our fans write erotic literature. We can’t say what it’s too explicit.”
That is interesting. I know the internet is full of fan fiction for all kinds of brands and entertainment…I guess it makes sense that there would be fan fic based on bands, and Bastille.
I typed “Bastille Dan Smith Erotic Fan Fiction” into google (well, I typed a few other things first but was getting weird Fifty Shades of Grey fan fic…which is neat. Fan fiction based on fan fiction, woah). A story that answered the bell was the 56 part romantic Bastille centred story, Flaws. I didn’t read the whole thing, but from what I gather…it is the story of Annie and her relationship with Bastille frontman Dan Smith. The story isn’t a porno, however it does contain some scenes that we might call erotic.
The idea of a giant novel imagining a sexual relationship with a rock star seems odd to me…but what is odd to me is a fun and healthy hobby for someone else. Why am I judging this person? People fantasize all sorts of things, this person just wrote their’s down for all of us to read. There is a whole world of Bastille fan fic…and no shortage of fans to read it.
Go with yourself.
