(Mick or David, if you ever read this, so sorry.)
Why would it be wrong?
If you're really interested, I co-moderate a community on livejournal called japan_stories (
http://community.livejournal.com/japan_stories/profile). The stories posted there range in ratings from G to NC-17 and all of them are slash (male/male relationships), except for one that I wrote called "Time Spent", a long heterosexual story which is the first fanfic I ever wrote.
It's a small community, 35 members but only 3 writers. If you would care to join and read the stories, you need to have a livejournal account and must be 17 or older. The latter is due to a requirement by livejournal for any community that contains adult material. Stories rated R or NC-17 are locked posts and can only be read by members.
There's an index of stories by author on the user info page; I write under the same name I use here.
I would recommend all the stories there, but some by me that you might enjoy are:
"Obscure Alternatives" - a thriller pairing David/Mick, it also has Rich and Steve in it, contains a few graphic scenes. (NC-17). It's a fairly long story and among the first that I wrote.
"A Silence So Rare" - Rated PG, a short story, I can't really say anything about it without giving away the plot.
"Enlightenment" - short, angsty piece with David/Mick, slightly graphic, rated R.
"Nowhere to Run" - a long story with David and Steve as young teenagers, it's slashy only in subtext. It's about the brothers and a difficult problem they face. It's rated PG-13.
I have more stories at this community, several of them crossovers with characters from Japan and Duran.
I don't think any of the guys (if they ever read these stories) would be upset or embarrassed by them. I think many of the writers I know write very good stories with strong plots and well portrayed characters. The interest is in writing well, that's primary.
I've heard from good authority in one instance that David was amused; they are aware that fanfiction is written about them.
I also write and post stories at duran_stories on livejournal, same thing about the index and membership requirements. That community is quite large, I think about 240 members with more than 30 writers.
Apologies for the long babble.
