Oh for God's sake stop playing silly buggers -- everyone who knows the context of the recent exchange also knows she meant Graen even if she misspelt the name. She was only trying to establish what was allowable in her graphics fic when the furore started, and I can't say that shark has really enlightened us with anything other than an unsatisfactory bald statement of his ruling on "under 18" depictions of fic characters, and yet he bends his own rules as I have mentioned earlier.
I seem to remember him indicating that BDSM is more a squick than a kink as far as he is concerned, and yet he has been thoroughly involved in the Desire and Submission games which seem to go beyond what would normally be allowed in the BDSM community, with coercion and a lack of "safewords"
As I see it the main objection to the picture ILSWriter linked to from my point of view and that of many others is that she showed little children in a scene in which others were caressing in an overtly sexual way. If you look at her fic at the time I am posting this, you will not find that scene, and there is nothing I would consider untoward in what I have seen so far even though a young girl appears in the story. (I haven't checked all the forks though.)
Just because young children and animals appear in a story that has sexual content doesn't mean that child abuse/pornography or bestiality is going on.
