What Are the Basic Rules of Intimacy in Posts? How Far Can We Go?
The Basic Rules of Intimacy in Posts
1. No mentioning of parts covered by a standard pair of Terran underpants. You can _imply_ all day long, but don't give _details_. Ask for an example post if you are unsure of the limits.
2. Anything above the waist is fine, but try not to overdo it.
3. The actual act of intercourse may not take place in the post.
4. Nudity and descriptions of it (barring parts mentioned in #1) are allowed, particularly at the Weyrs. This is Pern, not Earth, and weyrfolk bathe in public bathing rooms, after all.
5. Think American Soap Opera - they get pretty detailed, but always draw the line at actual sex.
6. Rape does unfortunately happen in a female repressive scenario. Please gain the approval of your local Level One ranker. The rape scene MUST follow the above rules, and contain the additional heading of NC-17. It doesn't prevent our younger readers from reading it, but it also alerts anyone that such a post contains very upsetting subject matter.
To paraphrase a founding member who helped craft the policy, write to develop two characters who are exploring each other mentally, emotionally, and physically, not simply for the sake of eroticism.
