Heads up for anyone who still submits their stories to fanfiction.net, as I do for some reason. Apparently, they've decided that most of their readers are 12 years or under (something I've suspected for a long time, but anyway) and introduced a naughty-words filter on all reviews and forum posts, and also fics rated K+ or lower. So those of you who consider yourselves adults might want to up the rating of your stories if they contain child-brain-shattering words like "kung fu", "butt", "knob" or "bastard", or they'll be full of asterisks.

I guess their slogan "unleash your imagination" just got even more hypocritical.

Censorship: Because if you take out the naughty words on the internet, the activities they describe will disappear in the real world as if by magic.

Oh well. There's always Fanlib... :-/

ETA: they backed down on the editing-fics-thing after a lot of angry feedback. You still need to disable a filter to be able to read/post naughty words in forums and reviews, though, so...
