Hi all,
I think this proposal is a wonderful one. RE the check box for sexual
content. I think what we mean here is explicit descriptions. I don't
consider a kis or a descriptive reference to how two people spent the
night as explicit. What you mean here is exactly what the adjective
says, complete, word-for-word physical descriptions of bedroom scenes.
I also think that frequency of such descriptions may be a factor when
writing guidelines for volunteers. one graphic scene in an entire book
does not an adult book make, IMO. As illustration, read about the
last fifty pages of Valley Of The Horses by Auel. The whole rest of
the five hundred pages are fine. Ayla just has to grow up, I guess.
If I'd been writing it, I would have deleted about half of those pages,
but that's me.
Ann P.
