There is certainly a case (in the NT, I believe) where someone was prosecuted for having fictional text depicting explicit sexual acts (in that case I think adult-child, which I have more personal difficult with) on his computer. There is also legislation that brings reading rather than just writing such material under the law as a crime warranting sex offender status.
Throughout this entire thing I'm trying to work out what my own ethical standard is, which is difficult enough. But I *am* a lawyer, and that adds another layer to things.
Thank you for providing some details, though. I really do appreciate it, and as soon as I can get my fic written and posted (neither Dawn nor Nina are currently co-operating, you know how it goes, I suspect), I shall happily read it and leave feedback.
