   Alexa is 15, and doesn't like stories that involve a romance as a   
   peripheral concern, doesn't read much about sex at all.  She doesn't   
   seem to mind the concept of romance or slash, but doesn't read that.   
      
      
   There apparently are forums, but she doesn't go on them.   
      
   She's on Fanfiction.net and archiveofourown.org
