But the children, who will protect the children?!

Prompted by the emergence of fandom_scruples.

*Absolutely* we should protect the children from anything that might sully their darling little eyes. And ears.

I mean, look at me. All those Greek myths from the age of 5 onwards. Graduating to *gasp* Georgette Heyer at around age 10 or 11. And let's not mention when I was 13 and was the purveyor of smut in school. All those Harold Robbins and Jackie Collins I had stashed away in my school bag. (And if I'd known then about slash you can be damn sure I'd have had a stash of slash ready to hand out like smarties, too).

So, take my experience as a horrible learning lesson, oh children. Because, yes, it could happen to you too. After reading copious amounts of smut whilst underage you too could grow up to become... a lawyer!

The horror, the horror...

Maia. My first introduction to all *sorts* of things. The temple statue and the broom handle particularly linger in my memory. And the ...

Maybe i'll just go find a copy. I think I lurked in the adult section of the library for nearly three evenings reading that. I wasn't old enough to borrow it.

That's it. And, until you reminded me, I'd managed to forget all about the broom handle *glares at Tem*.

Always ready to please with a smile and a helping hand.

Or broom.

The temple statue

!!!

I remember that! Metal! With an expanding, jointed... Yes, well.

I don't remember the broom handle, though. Wasn't there spanking at some point? I'm sure I remember spanking, and some weird carved statue thing that the spanking happened on. You know, I never quite looked at Watership Down the same way after I'd read Maia.

I think I need to find my copy too. I suspect it's in a box at my mum and dad's house, where I abandoned it once I graduated to proper porn :-)

I think there was spanking. And pretty much everything else except men on men action, and I'm not entirely convinced that wasn't in there *g*
