Just out of curosity, I wonder if this perception that the two IE porn & slash are the same is a result of the press perception of fan fiction fostering this...

I personally see them as the same (and policy at the site I run reflects that) and think they should have the same ratings criteria. I do think though that kids looking for information on the 5th book shouldn't have to fear running across nc-17 rated fan fiction involving any pairing having graphic sex.
