If you are going to delete fan art for being kiddy porn not having any artistic merit to offset the fact that it might depict someone under 18 [EDIT: Clarification] (and I say 'might depict' because LJ says the characters are under 18 and the artists are disputing it) then picking some of the (I'm told) better known artists in the Harry Potter ( Read more... )

a) Puppypiles should never be considered porn, and b)...tentacles? Do I even wanna know?

I always had similar problems with hobbits.*rolls eyes* So, of course, the Wiki couldn't be bothered to actually a have a picture to go with it...if you feel like it, shoot me an e-mail (so I have your address), and I'll send you privately the Sentinel pics I was talking about.
