Hey *B cool to see you here *g*

I hope my post didn't sound as if I was accusing CL of homophobia, I never intended it to. I know how much work that the librarians do, that they put so much time and effort into maintaining the site is awesome ( or is there just one of them now?)

I also know that there needs to be a gen archive. I know many people are bi fictional, me included, but many are not. I'd never want them to not have an archive to visit.

I agree totally with you that posting a m/m story to CL is wrong. That's what we have 852 Prospect for and personal sites. What I do have a problem with is stories like Mary Ellen's when it's banned because Stephen has a male lover. Also that in some cases stories that have similar content are archived while others are banned. However, I also know that the archivists won't have the time to read every story to check content.

As for the bonding stories. My view is a lot of heavy bonding stories should be labelled slash and be done with it. But I know that's not a view that everyone agrees with. I guess it's subjective. Jim bathes Blair, snuggles up to him etc. Some would see slash, others smarm...and no I'm not moving onto the smarm v slash debate *g*

I suppose to sum up. I think CL is a great asset to TS fandom, but they worded these last guidelines badly. They should also be more uniform in what is allowed and what's not, but until they have a hell of a lot more staff to check each story that's not going to happen.

And hey, Gen TSers would so miss you!

Glad you think so! But honestly, outside of SA I doubt anyone in gen TS would know who I am. But I'm not leaving SA anytime soon so I'll still be writing gen. Other lists would have exploded into flames talking about this. I'm impressed with SA just now.

Oh and *B. If you ever want a code for a LJ I've spare ones.
