Bwah hah.
Something interesting I read --
Kids shouldn't be reading or writing slash. And they are probably only
writing it because they've read it from some adult site or zine. I doubt
that they would have come up with the idea on there [sic] own.
*raises hand* Ooh! Ooh! I was writing Legolas/Gimli when I was twelve. Xena/Gabrielle when I was thirteen or fourteen. Fraser/Vecchio when I was seventeen. Of these -- only the Fraser/Vecchio after my awareness of the existence of slash online. And I would have written it ANYWAY.
So c'mon, people on my flist. Anybody else out there writing slash when they were underage and/or unaware of the existence of it as an actual "thing"? Tell, tell.

Re: This got long. Sorry ;)
So you may not have been writing slash before you got the Internet -- but you were not "lured" into it like a dark underground society by wicked adults *G* I don't think any kid would ever be traumatised by seeing any sort of sexuality, but then I'm some weirdo who would much rather my kids (if I were to have them, of course) saw naked people than graphic violence!
