It sounds like InvisionFree is not the service for GAFF. Literary criticism of NC-17 material is rather difficult to accomplish without violating (j), and I believe they also have a clause about "threatening, harassing, abusive" etc. Some fanfic writers *MIGHT* view some of the more passionate outpourings about the quality of their writing as that..

...although is it really necessary to post such long quotes from truly vile stuff like the Nick Bent crap? That was just plain stomach-turning.

Also, technically, most services mean images or video when they forbid pornography, nudity, etc, not text. You can post lemon fics on a lot of sites that you could not post hentai artwork on.

If you can't find a site that allows that middle ground--
and there used to be some forum providers that were loud and proud about upholding free speech, no matter who got offended-- you're going to have to find a message board that is friendly to adult material, which unfortunately means getting spammed with ads for porno sites everytime you go there. (Yahoo adult groups, certain lemon sites come to mind). Bleh.
