There is a difference between a fanfic which is simply "an excuse" to have

Very true... 
As seeming to be of a very tiny minority on this ml at least, of a gal who
write yaoi stuffs, well, how do I put this? Lots and lots of ffic
yaoi/shonen-ai stuff on the net is also influenced by Western Slash, which
forces the charas thru _lots_ and _lots_ of angst. Yes, there is sex, but
the important focus is that the sex opens up to a new stage in the
relationship. So what does that make such fanfics? Just lemons?

A question from a friendly ecchi ml denizen...
