If I understand correctly, chan specifically means that category of fan fiction featuring homosexual erotic content. My friend is a lesbian writer of erotica of all types and categories, but she got caught up in the whole Potter-mania thing, and, well, all of her friends roll their eyes when she brings it up. (No, none of us have read any of it.) Apparently, her stories focus more on the faculty at Hogwart's, and any student involvement is strictly with those who are of legal age. Hey, you gotta have standards!

You are right and I am hopelessly muddled.

Well, that's comforting, considering some excerpts I've seen before. Some of the stuff... holy cow!
