It does bring up a point though - we're looking at expanding the content
here, and that means considering HP, and that brings up another dangerous
subject - underage smutfics.  Restrictedsection.org and
adultfanfiction.net are chock full of the stuff, so there's quite the
fanbase for it.

We might want to consider making rules like 'if it's illegal in a large
number of North American jurisdictions, it's not welcome here.'

Mmm...that does potentially crimp a lot of *anime* related material, though.
I mean...take a look around. We try to pretend The Loli Is Not There,
but...let's be honest. It is.

We don't see as much of it here on the FFML, granted. But that doesn't mean
we couldn't--and it's a point of whether we decide to allow it, or not.

(Oh, and just for the record--*literary* depictions of underage sex? NOT
illegal. The point, then, becomes whether or not the authors of specific
works or the rights holders thereof will make a legal issue of the copyright
infringement.)
