I'd recommend keeping the links for the NC-17 fics as a matter of 
coherence. It is a group for grown-ups. For mature people who should 
have the ability to judge what they want by themselves. 
Discriminating good NC-17 fics because they're NC-17 doesn't make 
much sense to me in a group like HPfGU.

Tom replies:
I'd tend to agree with Morgan on this issue, if and only if, as he 
stated, they're *clearly marked.* 

I normally am not a fanfic person, since I'm normally too engrossed 
with the canon itself to bother with others' fictional situations - 
not that I "don't like" fanfic as much as I'm just more interested 
in the actual storyline. 

However, since we are an adult group, it would seem silly to cut out 
the NC-17 fanfics (although, "mild incest?" Urgh...) just because 
they might make people like me a little squeamish, and in some 
cases, umm, disgusted. ;-)

I don't see any reason to cut the NC-17 (and heck, even the X-rated) 
fanfics from any reference list. Just as long as no one can 
accidentally stumble upon them...
