****** The CODES ******
*****
1: Sex, Age, (and number).
"M,m,b" are all males.
"b" is always a young boy, should be up to 12.
"F,f,g" are all females.
"g" is a young girl, should be up to 12.
"M,F" *should* be adults, 18 and older.
"m,f" *should* be teens, 13 - 17.
"t" is a teenage male (used in gay stories).
They aren't always, because posters are careless (or
clueless). Also, in the bondage/dominance community, "M" is
a male dominant, "m" is a male submissive, etc.
MF is adult heterosexual sex
ff is teen lesbian sex
MMM~f means adult men gang-banging a teenaged girl
MMM/f means adult men gang-banging a teenaged girl
etc.
M+F Means several men and one woman
MF+ Means one man and several women
The presence or absence of "/" doesn't mean much except on
dominance stories. In those stories the one(s) to the left of
the slash are dominating those to the right of the slash.
When it is used, ~ means "with." M~dog is "man with a dog. M~mf
means that an adult man has sex with both a teen boy and a teen
girl. Mm~f means that both an adult man and a teen boy have sex
with a teen girl.
*******
1: Willingness or unwillingness.
blackmail Gaining sex through threat of exposure.
cons [or con] The sex is consensual. This should mean that
*ALL* the sex is consensual, but some authors use
"cons nc" to mean that only some is.
mc "mind-control" a big subgenre.
nc is non-consensual. This is rape in law, but the style
may be different.
rape is rape.
reluc Woman says no, but loves it when she is raped.
rom is romantic, which should always be consensual but some
writers use it very strangely.
There is a five-year tradition that (rom) implies (cons).
However, there is currently an attempt to destroy that tradition.
If you want (rom cons) stories, you have the choice of searching
for both codes or of searching for (rom) and (-nc) and checking
what else is in the code list.
The first method will, of course, lose you many fine stories
which were coded according to the old pattern. The second
requires that your search engine allows both positive and
negative searches simultaneously.
