Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
Hmmm...it sounds like there's enough content to trope in spite of the sexual content, and none of the characters seem to be underage. Maybe consult with the P5 thread
first, but I think the only snag might be whether you can link to the website or not.
Well, the characters start at sophmore year in high school, so they are all about 16, and that's when some of the sex starts. So underage by two years, but more dealing with the reality that, yes, high school kids do have sex despite everyone's best efforts. I don't think anyone is under 16 when they are confirmed to have had sex, and no one explicitly crosses the pre-18/post-18 boundary (Kayla having a birthday a few months before Jack, and thus him being "underage," is a plot point going into senior year).
Anyway, here's the link: http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600107407&chapter=1
I'm pretty sure we don't allow hardcore depictions of teenagers having sex.
Content Warning: My posts may involve my actions dealing with R-rated or Not Safe For Work content. Same for my edit history.As already suggested, you might want to consult the P5 thread. ^^ Hardcore depictions of teenagers having sex would be a problem, but we have a page on Lolita.
v Yeah, Lolita is certainly making a statement against pedophilia and is not pedo-pandering. Erik mentioned Harry Potter, if it's on that level on "explicitness" there shouldn't be an issue to begin with. vvv Oh right, fanfics. You could also run those by the P5 in case of doubt.
Lolita has a page here because it is an important artistic work, supposed to be strongly against pedophilia, and not that explicit.
Edited by PrincessPandaTrope Content Warning: My posts may involve my actions dealing with R-rated or Not Safe For Work content. Same for my edit history.I think we do allow teenage sex scenes if they're over 16, especially if the work is marketed towards people around the same age. For a more apt comparison, we have a page on Sex Education.
Edited by mightymewtron I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.Some of the trope pages for Harry Potter fanfics are for stories with explicit sexual content. It sticks in my head, through perusing other trope pages, there seem to be other fan works for franchises where the characters are both under eighteen and contain sexual content, though I can't think of any off the top of my head. A lot of fanfics link to Archive Of Our Own, which is permissive of fics of pretty much all content and rating, my main concern is linking to a site that is exclusively for mature-themed fiction.
Good point on Sex Education. Sometimes, it's okay for actors over eighteen to play characters under 18 is sexual situations, sometimes it isn't. When they're wholly fictional characters (no actors portraying them), standards sometimes get somewhat looser. Certain incarnations of Teen Titans spring to mind.
EDIT: Copied and linked to the P5 thread.
Edited by ErikModiI think that to actually resolve this, you'd need to post in the P5 thread linked in the first comment, and some notes about specific chapters that may be an issue would help. ATT isn't really the place for this discussion, and we can't judge it without knowing where exactly the potential problems are.
My main concern was if linking to the story was acceptable; if not, everything else is academic. Still not quite clear on that point, hopefully the P5 thread can clear both those up.
This has been a great level of input and I greatly appreciate it, even I've tried to counter-argue. Tropers remain awesome and informative, thanks.

So, a work I've been sucked into hard and think would make a great tropes page. There's one thing that's giving me pause.
It's hosted on a site called adultfanfiction.
Now, it's not a pornographic story per se, there are sex scenes and they are described in detail, but no more so than some other mature-themed literature. And given the story's length (147 chapters currently, not sure if that makes it a Long Runner, Doorstopper, or both) they make up a very small percentage of the overall story, with most of them occurring earlier in the work.
I know we tend not to trope actual porn, but some Porn with Plot works are troped on the site. My main concern is if posting a link to the story itself in the trope page would be against the rules, invite unwanted traffic to TvTropes, etc.
I'm also not sure what to categorize it. It's not a fanfiction, as it's not based on any other work or franchise, it's a completely original tale with the author's own original characters, set in a version of our real world (a throwaway line in a recent chapter states the Play Station 5 is out, but no hint of the COVID-19 Pandemic). But I'm also not sure a work hosted on a fanfiction site, even one that allows original works (especially one with "adult" in the name) qualifies for entry in Literature.
The story is called "She Is The One," and centers around Jack Harrison, the protagonist and narrator, the luckiest unlucky smartest idiot ever. We catch up with him the first day of his sophmore year of high school, when he meets newly-arrived literal Girl Next Door Kayla Hannigan. It isn't quite Love at First Sight, but there is a rapid connection between them, and the first several chapters are devoted to them becoming the story's Official Couple. The core of the story is their relationship, especially how love doesn't conquer all. . . Jack and Kayla really do truly love each other, but both have to work hard to keep their relationship going. Especially in the face of high school drama, exceptionally dramatic even by high school standards, including three different incestuous relationships, a gun in a locker, a bona fide evil scheme, one of the most brutal schoolyard brawls ever, and an intramural prostitution ring, among other things. Eventually, the action moves to college as Jack and Kayla attend Iowa State University, where things are a bit less dramatic (up until The Pipe Bomb Incident, at least). Along the way, we meet a cast of colorful characters who drift in and out of Jack's life, including Rhona, the acerbic GameStop employee with constantly changing hair colors, Joe and Brad, Jack's best friends, Craig, his starting high school nemesis and initial rival for Kayla's affections, Jessica the Alpha Bitch, Jack's exuberant running enthusiast cousin Tara, and Jack's twin siblings Alan and Amanda. The cast expands greatly in college as Jack makes friends in and out of ISU's theater department.
Has a Shared Universe with another author's stories, posted on the same site, "Being More Social" and it's companion tale "Only If You Want." They're both shorter and with more sex than "She Is The One," and the crossover is minimal: only one character, I think, appears in both stories (for less than a chapter in "She Is The One," though he's referenced a few more times); references mainly exist as friendly meta jokes and jabs from one fic to the other.
Anyway. . . is this tropable?
