What we are not interested in.
Absolutely NO to any of the following:
- Paedophilia – NO WAY! Remember, all characters involved in a sexual relationship must be 18 or over, and 21 for multiple partner stories.
- Rape as titillation – This overused trope should only be used for driving a plotline. Definitely not for titillation!
- Bodily functions – Just NO!
- Necrophilia – Absolutely NO! Although we will make an exception for vampires and the undead.
- Bestiality – NO! Werewolves, shapeshifters, and sci-fi beings the only exception.
- Incest – No blood-related relationships or affairs.
- Psuedo incest – No relationships between step-family members.
