The fiction laws scare the bejeezus out of me, too. I live in the US, but the way that censorship is going I fear for my continued liberties. It's really sad that things have progressed to this degree. I don't want anyone to be labeled a pedophile just for having fictional work on their computer. Because, really, who does it hurt? If you're going to prosecute someone for a possible predilection they may develop in the future, wouldn't all future acts have to prosecuted? Like possible murderers, rapists, arsonists, etc.
Fandoms in anime particulary seem to fall under this under 18 clause (not to mention HP, which was already discussed). Think about Hikago, Tenipuri, FMA, KKM, HxH, and all of the other shounen and shounen-ai series out there. Everyone is a teenager. So if you write a PWP fic with any of these characters, you're going to be prosecuted like you condone child porn. When in fact, you just like fictional, totally unrealistic boy!smex.
I don't even want to get into shota manga (which I edit and might be prosecuted for it seems. God I just hate the fact that people are on witch hunts, because there's a chance that someone with underage fiction might be a sexual predator.
