Here's a quick example:


Lime:
She felt his kisses start to explore her body.
* * *
They awoke in each others arms the next morning and smiled lovingly at
each other.

Lemon:
She felt his kisses start to explore the inside of her vagina and she
squirmed in pleasure.
<More graphic sex>

<Morning scene optional>


I've been skirting the edge of Lime in my Garden of EVA series (and I
admit that sometimes they may cross briefly into lemon territory). I
finally had to do a lemon side story (0:6x) to do some particularly erotic
dreams correctly.

Typically if you describe body parts in detail and describe sex beyond a
few kisses of various vague body parts, it's probably a lemon.

In summary: Lime makes the reader assume sex has happened, lemon shoves
the sex down their throats.

Ok, I know that a Lemon contains outright blatant sexual content, and
that Lime is more subtle, subdued. My question is this, what would be
some examples of stories on the net that would be more lime(dont need
info on Lemons, I've read a few).

I just want to make sure that I dont post any stories that cross the
boundaries between Lemon and Lime and call it Lime. Sorry for the spam,
but I want to know where the line is drawn between Lemon and Lime. A
description of the difference would work also. Thank you for your time
and effort on my behalf. Private email is fine, but if you feel that
others on the FFML need to know the difference, feel free to post it.
