    Hi, I didn't quite understand the last points of the no-underage sex rule: the ones about fanfictions, transformations and robots, to say. Do the limitations expressed apply in any context or only in an erotic context? That is, for example, may I write a transformation from an adult to a child if it's just a plot development, without eroticism?
    Thanks

    Quoting from the rules:

    • Erotic context: Erotic situations include but are not limited to any situation
      • where a character is naked or partly naked (females: less than a bikini; males: less than swimming briefs)
      • where a character is aroused
      • where a character masturbates
      • where a character has sex with another character
      • which is written in a way that is meant to arouse the reader

    These are the last points:
    • Transformations for the sake of transformation are not allowed if the transformed character would be considered to be an underage character before, during, or after the transformation.
    • Robots with humanoid features must meet the requirements of underage characters.

    Robots must be treated like people, so you can't just get away with them being mentally adult, but only 3 years old or look like a child. They must have lived at least eighteen years and look like an eighteen years old girl/boy.

    Does that character get involved in an erotic situation at some point in the story? If not, I think you're on the safe side.

    I think the reason for this seemingly odd rule is to stay away from any possible suggestion that an underage character transforms into an adult and does something sexual.

    Underage characters can't be depicted in an erotic context.
    The same applies to a robot who qualifies underage.

    Yes. Depicting a transformation for storytelling purposes is fine. E.g. after waking up from a night with the king, your heroine transforms into a child to sneak past some guards and transforms back to normal after she left the castle without any erotic context in between.

    Please note that if the character was underage before the transformation, the character is still considered underage after the transformation.
