As you’ve probably heard by now, LJ turned off the ability to create basic (free, no ads) accounts. All new accounts from now on have to be plus or paid.

So. I don’t write underaged sex or rape fic or incest fic. I very rarely read them. The vast majority of such fics either skeeve the hell out of me, or bore and annoy me because it’s not my kink. I don’t have any of the ‘questionable’ terms in my interests, […]

There are a lot of places out there covering Deletegate very comprehensively, so I’m not going to attempt that. Check here for an extremely comprehensive overview.
