You've never heard of describing fanfiction as "lemons" or "limes"?

I'd heard of "Lemons" before, and had also heard it attributed to the "Cream Lemon" anime series, but I don't remember the citrus scale.

It was rare to hear things described as "oranges" and "grapefruit" ime but "lemon" and "lime" were EXTREMELY common

I've definitely seen "lemon" around, and I *think* I've seen "lime," but that's the extent of it. I had no idea there was an actual scale. You learn something new every day, I guess.

I found the page this was from, and I get the impression that a lot of their terminology never really spread beyond that specific community, whereas "lemon" and "lime" were pre-existing in general fandom [or at least anime fandom] going back at least to the mid-90s

Yeah my understanding is the word "lemon" just to mean "porn" predates all of this, "lime" for softcore porn came from "lemon" (it looks like a lemon but isn't as strongly flavored), and the rest of the "scale" is just something nerds made up that didn't really take off

Like what they call "orange" and "citrus" isn't something you actually need a name for No one needs a content warning just to know that this is a story with romance in it

And, as they say, "grapefruit" is just a concept an edgelord would make up to get attention, like how old school porn would try to one up the idea of being "X-rated" (XXX, XXXXXX, XXXXXXXXXXXX)

I've not been able to touch anything grapefruit for a decade-plus, myself. That said, it probably wouldn't *kill* me, at least not for a while. But it'd neutralize several of my medications and thereby screw with my health pretty badly.
