What is the name of your state? -->Virginia.
I understand that there are certain activities that are considered illegal in several states, such as pederasty, sodomy, and incest, to name a few.
My question is, what if a juvenile writes fanfiction [or even original fiction, I suppose] about characters that are sixteen at the most, with the characters engaging in the aforementioned illegal actions? Would they be protected under the first amendment--because they're just writing about it, not engaging in it themselves--or not?
I've noticed an increasing number of underage authors choosing this sort of subject matter, and I just wanted to know if it was possible for them--or anybody, really--to get arrested for their stories.
