they're x-posted to several communities where not everyone is on my flist. I do lock them at the community level though, mostly because the comm rules usually specify that explicit material is to be locked.

It's worrying. It looks sort of like the only reason they were even debating it is because the Simpsons are cartoons with recognisable differences to actual humans such as four-digit-hands etc. Which means that fanart of Actual Honest-To-God humans is *definitely* Not Allowed.
Who else is starting to consider f-locking their fic posts?

That was mentioned in the comments for the yshare post that I got this from.
"In Australia, Alan John McEwen had his conviction for possessing child pornography upheld - despite the images being of cartoon characters from the Simpsons. Justice Michael Adams has ruled that cartoon characters are classed as 'a person'." was what was posted in one comment. No links, so if you have more on that one I'd be grateful.

As in, has seen the play and knows the musicalverse characters. PLEASE tell me that THIS is a parody and not a serious attempt at fanfic:
The Wonderful Witches of Oz
1 year after musical. Morrible forms a rebelion, and glina, Nessa, Elfie, and Dorothy have to save the day. T, for now. 3rd person. Pairings: Fiyeraba, Lessa, Doq, new character couples. R&R please!

I skimmed the author's bio, and there's no indication I can see of trying to be funny, as in, a parody, but she has posted twelve different stories in the last two days (in various categories) - am I right that this qualifies her as a troll? And if so, any reason I can't PPC the damn thing anyway?
(Also, anyone want to co-write a Wicked mission - for this or a Suefic?)
Cheers,

Who asked me for piccies again? If you don't mind, can you tell me?
I already drew something for...
dracorn_adagio: Tisraer (Or however you spell it. It's like Tiraamailien) and Ryni
Oozaru Angel: Kumori and Georgia
Laburnum: Laburnum, Foxglove, Molly Rath, and Moses Taggson
But for the rest of you, I can't for the life of me remember what you asked for. Can you guys refresh my memory and repost? Thanks! I'll try to get them in, but I'm also trying to compose stuff for "There Will Be Glitter"...

the paradox has been completed, there's nothing protecting her and he has come to claim her. but there's a force stopping him and Sylvia and Wilf will do anything to protect Donna even if that means calling the Doctor and telling him their secret.

Taken from the yshare comm on LJ:
[News] Collector faces a possible 20 years in prison for possession of obscene effects...
Christopher Handley of Iowa, USA was arrested about half a year ago for buying manga. One day, he receives 7 volumes of manga from the post office because he ordered them from Japan. The authorities follow him home because they already investigated the volumes and deemed them "obscene" and "objectionable." He is arrested, and they confiscate his whole collection: DVDs, manga volumes, VHS tapes, computers, etc. And now he faces a trial and up to 20 years in prison. All for ordering manga.
Baka Updates
Iowa Collector Charged For Allegedly Obscene Manga
Lawyer indicates Manga In Iowa Obscenity Case Are Yaoi
What do you guys think of this? This is a man who has legally purchased manga, unlike many others (myself included) who download it via sites like the yshare comm on LJ, and he's been arrested for it and could face up to twenty years in prison.Why do I keep forgetting that "lj user=" is an LJ only code?

Got any links? I would buy it but out of the three manga selling places where I live, two don't stock it and the third seems to think that volume 8 is where it starts. *grumbles*
