Erm...they are just stories, people. The crux of this argument seems to have shifted to questions of 'taste' when the debate should be whether posting a story here could be 'harmful' in that they might inspire someone to go out and commit these acts/crimes. If you believe the latter then probably 90% of the stories on this site should be banned. Also half the maistream novels and movies out there...

Snuff? Well, VLMarquette, your stories might not eroticise vampire snuff but the mainstream novels of Anne Rice certainly do! In 'Interview with the Vampire' (both movie and book) a young girl is slowly stripped naked at the Theatre des Vampires before a swarm of vampires fall upon her body to take all her blood...

agp_millie makes a good point about the 'spitting and roasting' genre being a highly erotic fantasy to many people (I assume she also refers to the stories on this site by 'Pick Up Man')

Paedophilia? At the story submission stage on this site there is a message not to submit 'child porn'. Can the site owners or anyone else please define 'child porn' as none is given. Some of the definitions in this thread even disagree. Stories involving under-12s? Under-13s? Under-18s? (In an erotic situation). In my country, sex with an under-16yo is illegal - perhaps its different in YOUR country so what are the accepted standards? Can mere fantasy stories be 'child porn'? Again, in my country 'child porn' must involve a real victim either through direct abuse or indirectly by downloading photos. Stories don't have an apparent actual victim but maybe you can tell me differently. Again, by some peoples standards, many of the stories that ARE posted here involve minors in a sexual situation - some of the most highly-rated stories in fact (eg Jane Marwood, katie lynch etc). So why were they accepted?

As far as I'm concerned these are just STORIES for adults so 'anything goes' as long as they are clearly coded.
