Really though, where does one draw the line? I mean, okay: bestiality bad, and as Smashwords specified, that includes shapeshifters in paranormal erotica when in animal form. But what would happen with, say, octopus-shaped tentacle aliens? Is tentacle alien erotica okay or not? If it is, what makes tentacle alien erotica okay and werewolf erotica not okay (considering neither tentacle aliens or werewolves exist in real life - well, not on Earth anyway)?
And what about necrophiliac erotica? Obviously, necrophilia is illegal in most countries in reality, but is sex with fictional dead people okay? If yes, then is there a line there somewhere? Vampire erotica is probably okay, I assume, although we're talking about people who were generally killed centuries ago. What about zombies? Or skeletons? Do ghosts count as dead people?
I'm being flippant, to an extent, but I'm also genuinely curious, because I know erotica like that exists, and I'd like to know where the line is drawn when the slope gets slippery.
