adult settings, COA noms, and shiny banner!

[mhalachai]

So I was thinking about it, and I'm not going to change the journal's default setting because I actually like my non-lj readers. I tested the "adult concepts" thing out on an old post, and when you're logged out, if you try to access such a post, then you get "14 Adult Content Notice : The content that you are about to view could contain adult concepts which may not be suitable for minors. To continue, you must confirm that you are at least 14 years of age. "

Yeah... no. Since a little clicky button won't stop people from lying about their age anyway, I'm not going to inconvenience those readers of mine who are over 14 (because seriously, is anyone out there under 14?) and who don't want to have an LJ account. Because my suspicious mind is thinking they want more people to sign up for lj.

I'll be changing some of the more riske posts to the age appropriate setting later on. Since most of my fic is gen anyway, and I'm not going to lock up fic for swearing, it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

Thanks to everyone who nominated my fics over at the TTH COA! 19 nominations, compared with last year's 13! So cool. I'll post links and banners once voting begins on Friday! Check back!

And I made a shiny banner for the Rory Gilmore is the illegitimate genius daughter of Rodney McKay (more manageably known as Physics of the Spin) series:

I don't think you have any stories - not even Switchback - which qualifies with a rating higher than PG-13. On TV, your themes are showing during family hour.

I made the most recent two chapters of Switchback, dealing directly with the rape, as "Adult Concepts" as frankly, etc., etc. But you're right, most of everything else I've done isn't that bad. Even when people are naked, it's like that "from the neck up" naked we see on TV.

And the only smutty story I've ever written (Nice Girl, AB/BtVS, Dawn/Gregory) I only linked to from LJ.

I'm just not one for smut or majorly graphic violence. I wonder what that says about me as a writer...
