This issue actually came up in the Supreme Court a few years ago - are stories depicting sexual acts between minors a violation of the law or not. The official ruling was that they are NOT in fact in violation of the law so long as they are entirely fictional stories. So in that sense, there doesn't seem to be reason for action to be taken.
As far as stories involving minors, there are a great deal of minors on this site. For obvious reasons, the majority of all things sexual to be found on the internet - stories, movies, etc - are told from the perspective of adults. Especially in the case of someone who is 13 or 14 years old, as many of the stories seem to be written about, people online at that age might be curious about these sorts of things in context to themselves, not in the context of 25 year olds. This probably contributes a lot to the stories written about underage people - they are written BY underage people.
Again, even if an adult writes a story about sexual activity between to children, it's not really pedophiliac behavior until he actually goes out and commits a physical act. Who knows, maybe the fantasy stories online are enough to keep someone with strong physical attraction to children at bay.
Just some thoughts of mine.
