Classmate Distracts Others With Explicit Wattpad Book
During an LGBTQ+ Literature lecture last week, senior Mark Flint was dutifully taking notes. When he looked up at the presentation, Flint was greeted by a female student seated in front of him boldly and unashamedly opening an explicit One Direction slash fanfiction on Wattpad, a social media platform that allows its users to upload stories.
Despite Flint having 20/10 vision, he was unable to make out the title of the story. He was, however, able to see that the story included oversaturated photos of two of the band members poorly photoshopped into explicit poses every few paragraphs. This is a common literary technique for stories uploaded to Wattpad. While the website has rebranded to promote original content and networking, its origins lie in the publishing of trashy fan works.
When speaking with The Mugdown about the incident, Flint admitted the fanfiction was very distracting. “After I saw the story with my excellent vision, I just couldn’t pay attention to the lecture anymore. I apparently missed a lot of content that’ll be on the exam,” Flint said.
Ultimately, Flint was most concerned with the ethical implication of reading the fanfiction. “Sure, I’m all for being creative and reading what you want, but it seems a bit unfair to read that kind of stuff in class. What if someone like me, who has famously impeccable vision, is sitting behind you and can read your screen? At the very least, she should have sat in the back row if she was planning on reading erotica,” Flint said.
The girl who read the Wattpad story in class was unavailable for comment at time of press.
— Radio Reveille
Although being the handler of the First Lady of Aggieland is quite an honor, Radio Reveille’s favorite hour of the week is spotlighting as a host of a KANM radio show, 98.7 WOOF. It’s her sweet relief from the cesspool of khaki where she sprinkles in heartwarming anecdotes of her time with Reveille and that wretched country music Corps boys seem to like. If you tune in, you might be lucky enough to hear the weekly playing of “Who Let the Dogs Out” or even hear the elusive bark of Queen Reveille herself.
