I'm still at war with myself over whether to put it on. I really want to share my writings, but I don't want to offend people... for some, it is apparently not enough if I simply put a "Mature" tag on the page and ask them not to read it if they are uncomfortable in doing so.

Besides M-NUva, there is a HUGE difference between erotic and pornographic writing. I, personally, will be willing to accept erotic writing but ban pornographic writing from the wiki- simply because eroticism is a type of art and simply putting up pornographic writing is both a troll-move and absolutely pointless.

An erotic scene between two characters, in certain cases, can be very important in revealing specific things about these character's personalities AND the relationship that these characters have between themselves- also, it can kind of say "Hey, these characters are having a kid in the future". It is a bold venture into a near-taboo kind of art, but I believe that such a scene is necessary for these characters.

Also, YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ IT IF IT OFFENDS YOU. WHETHER OR NOT YOU READ IT WOULD BE ENTIRELY YOUR CHOICE.

Yet, if we don't venture out into this new realm with both caution and Users who can at least act with maturity, then we are in trouble. However, I'm not worried about that- yet.
