malnpudl: Aaaaaand it's non-Potter wank! Latest LJ policies posted. - In which they state that fiction which graphically portrays sex involving one or more persons under 18 is illegal and therefore is not allowed on LJ. See comments for discussion and clarification. -![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
lj_biz: illegal and harmful activity - To reiterate, though, we take a zero-tolerance stance on these sorts of material:[...]including drawings and text -- that explicitly depicts minors under the age of 18 (real or not) in a graphic sexual context. -- bethbethbeth: Okay, I am not at all a happy camper. - After years of LiveJournal recognizing the difference between fact and fiction, you're now saying that Six Apart has decided that textual representations of underage sex where the participants are completely fictional is illegal -

worldserpent: LJ issues major clarification - Although LJ has always said it discouraged 'offensive' content (whatever that is) in its TOS, this is the first time they've said they are going to apply the Miller test.[...]IMHO, though, isn't the Miller Test rather vague, especially because LJ does not -- violet_quill: WTF, LJ. WTF. - Well, then. This is, uh, a lot different than what we were talking about last time. This is not chan and incest. I have a good... oh, a good dozen smutfics in which one of the characters is 17. And I'm one of the more conservative writers in that regard. -

I have some exciting news to share today, everyone! Today a new website was launched that promises to be exactly what every member of the fan fiction and fan art communities has been looking for. - antennapedia: We'd like to clarify the previous clarification... - They wish to have a policy that looks good on paper, doesn't offend their customers too much, and allows them freedom of action should an advertiser complain.//This policy is not fandom-friendly -
- brown_betty: How to tell if your writing is obscene: - How do you know if what you write is obscene?//You wake up one morning and discover that LJ has deleted it, that's how.//Seriously. -
- cofax7: Remember Strikethrough07? Oh, that again. - LJ staff assert that, as above, PWPs with 12-year-olds would be likely to be found obscene under the Miller test. But in reality, as numerous people have pointed out, damn little textual material meets (or fails to meet, if you like) the Miller test. -
- oulangi: Arguments for journalfen - Journalfen's owners are slashers. It was created as a journaling service FOR fen. They're not going to squick out and suspend you over a little Harry/Draco/Squid action. No, really. They might even write a sequel. -
- petronelle: Redeeming Social Importance: 'Robin Man,' Rites of Passage, and Universal Themes - In [...]Robin Man,' there are themes and manners of presentation that may lead one to believe that there is no larger importance to the story than the mere presentation of its protagonist, a sixteen year old boy, in sexual situations. -
