Yes, people see Harry Potter in ways that have never crossed my mind.

'The line' is a very personal thing, I think, though "M" to me suggests a story is for grown ups, which can mean a lot of things, but at least if a reader is very sensitive they can take it as a warning.

I don't think an 'M' only has to mean sex either - I think it can be just more mature themes.

I agree with you, OJFan - which poses another question. Did the violence in Winter cross that line?

I don't think so - it wasn't gratuitous, and the plot was well written. PG-13, but not M.

I know a lot of fanfic readers have their preferences set to where "M" stories never even show up on their lists. I'd hate to have a whole story excluded because of one or two chapters, so I try not to accidentally veer over the line. (The exception, of course, is when we choose to write an "M" story...!)

Mine is set that way, but I never knew I had the option to change it - still - I see your point. For a while, I didn't even know there WAS an "M" setting. Then again if it hadn't been for you B4E, I wouldn't even BE here!!!

Even when you pick on poor Steve, you somehow manage to make me laugh about it.
