Free speech....IN FANFICTIONS. I'm still expecting you to watch yourselves. Don't go overboard. If you have an R fic, of course you'll have some four letter words. The bleeps are irritating I know, so I've done away with them. The use of excessive harsh language doesn't need to spread onto the other sections though, so know this is not a free pass to run around the boards being inappropriate since we do have younger members. Be responsible and keep it in your creative writings, not in your general board conversations. In your fics, write as you will but just remember NC-17 fics are still forbidden. A strong R is acceptable. Check out some of the past strong R fics and you'll see you can push the envelope pretty far without getting excessively graphic or going way over the top. So go for it, but watch yourself and show some responsibility.

Thanks.
