I've got no problem reading any kind of fic, but when I see NC-17 as a rating I expect a certain level of adult content.

A PG-13 B/A story sounds fine. But who ever heard of Slash that's R??? How on earth did they even find such a thing?

Curious....

And a couple of PG ones.

The NC-17 ones are about sex. The others are about developing the relationship between the characters. If there can be PG het fics, there can be PG slash fics.

Most slash authors write slash because they like the ship, not because they want to see the hotties get it on.

Although that's not a problem either. Slash readers like character and relationship development just as much as the next reader. We just also enjoy homoerotica. *grin*

I don't look at a relationship requiring a censor rating until the "hotties get it on" (love that phrase by the way, Robin), so I hadn't considered the need to refer to a homosexual relationship (without the sex) as being Slash. To me it's just a relationship (though I've seen "pre-Slash" used as a descriptor in those situations).

And yes, character development is important regardless of the rating. (I really want to comment on the homoerotica too but... *veg* I'll just leave that.)

I usually think of slash as just homosexual smut, too. But then again, stories with even just a slight tone of m/m or f/f feelings are classified as slash, and there's not so much as a kiss. It all just depends on how you look at it.

If you're really in the mood to read some NC-17 fic you probably haven't read before, I *do* have a couple on my site. Assuming that you don't mind my writing, just the way I came across in the one fic, I wouldn't mind sending you some.

There's only one slash fic, which is NC-17, and it's Spike/Xander. Only one I've ever written, based off of a challenge.

Most of my NC-17 fic is Faith/?, and isn't loaded onto the site. If you're interested, give me a holler. :)
