mash_slashA quick note on content, inspired by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
diabolo_girl's post: Any content is acceptable. However, if it contains anything that people may have a problem with, such as rape, kinks, or graphic violence, that must be noted in the header. It's something I will comment about if it isn't noted. The fic should also be appropriately rated based on that content. The ratings guideline is here. Slash should never be a warning. Unless you're like a few people I've known who warn for het--which, come to think of it, is more deserving of a warning in this comm than slash is.
And, inspired by nothing in particular, except possible reactions to such posts: Read the headers. If there's something that's offputting to you, please either skip the post or, if you read it, don't tell the author they shouldn't be writing x content. Constructive criticism is expected and welcome in this community, so authors, if you don't want it, please note that in your header. However, readers, that doesn't make overly harsh or rude comments okay. Not that I'm expecting this to be a problem; it's just a preemptive strike in case there are seriously negative reactions to fic likediabolo_girl's.
Please don't take this negatively. I adore you guys; this is such an awesome fandom, and I love this community especially. I just don't want problems to arise when it's something that can easily be avoided. As always, you can contact me at any of the mod posts, through this post, or by e-mailing me at hawkeyecat[at]livejournal[dot]com.
