Yes, I'm pretty upset at the suspension of pornish_pixies--you can assume that as long as that name has a strike-through through it, I'm still upset about it. But. The suspension doesn't mesh with lj's Terms of Service, and I know that neither the mod nor most of its members plan to take this lying down. Go take a look at femmequixotic's journal and her post here to see how things stand.

And it was just yesterday that gmth posed the question that if one could go back to one's beginning in fandom and give one's younger self advice, what would one do, and my response was that I would tell myself not to panic when restrictedsection.org received its C & D letter, thinking that all NC-17 HP fanfiction was going to disappear from the web 4EVAH OMG. So I'm following that advice today, and not panicking. Restrictedsection.org did not disappear; pornish_pixies may return if we raise enough of a voice. I'm going to see what I can do to help. (In between writing smut. Damn straight.)

Oh, and? I've never locked a thing in this journal; I do not plan to start now.

WORD. You and me both. I just made a RARR!post about this, actually. :D I did check my interests with the intent of weeding out any "illegal" ones, but since I didn't actually have any in there (could've sworn I did!), nothing's changed after all. I'm very upset about pornish_pixies and shota, and am keeping a weather eye on the hp chan comm I'm still a member of. Because line images or text =/=abuse, and I refuse to even imply that such might be the case.

And frankly, I don't see the POINT in locking everything. There's a warning in my info, and I tend to say something in the actual rec if there's something particularly disturbing involved. That's reasonable. If someone runs into something un-innocent, they can't claim I didn't take reasonable precautions to keep 'em from it, and locking it all up under friends-only clearance isn't going to make it any "safer."

Exactly!!! Why don't they get it?

I don't flock. That's what lj-cut is for. ^_^

And once upon a time, I didn't even list any lj Interests because I couldn't be arsed. I have a few now, general ones. And if anyone's coming after me for "erotica" or "slash," well, then, I darn well don't want to be here at all.
