I don't know how we got onto this topic from 'poll for deleting snuff stories'.

By definition 'stories' are fiction, so the issue of illegal pictorial pornography does not arise, and although I have no doubt that there are snuff stories with young characters, that was not the issue raised in this thread. I think the original reason for starting this thread was a personal dislike of the idea of snuff as an acceptable category for erotic literature in the bdsm library.

It is rather like having a single vote to ban headscarves in schools, fox hunting, coloured ice cream and adult magazines, or not.

There are several threads already in existence that discuss various aspects of underage characters and their legality, and I'm sure there will be more. BDSM Library has a perfectly acceptable policy on that topic as has been explained here, but that has nothing to do with snuff stories.
