Hey, all types of art are good! I selected multi-fandoms, but I wouldn't be adverse to original art as well.

As for locking smut, I didn't chose anything, because I feel there's a difference between what I do (and would be tempted to say) and what you can prefer doing, for perfectly good reasons. Ultimately, my opinion is close to yours. I don't think that watching smut - which is closer to erotica than real porn usually - should be restricted to adults. It's not particularly secret that people, even in their late teens, make love, and it's also perfectly natural. And it's not even mind-scarring in any way! Now, when there's violence of any kind, there could be more restrictions, because that's scarier, and not only for underaged people, in my opinion ( ... )

I never called my smut art erotica, that sounds so much more refined than the kinky things I'm drawing XD Which reminds me, I want to make another smut poll and will definitely add this topic as well! :3

it's not even mind-scarring in any way!
That you mention this is such a great relief because that's as close as something I've been bashed about and scarred *me* instead. That treatment wasn't fair IMHO.

But, y'know, I once drew a fanart that certain ppl bashed for its religous allusions which weren't intended at all, but I've always kept it unlocked for anyone to see. Now I wonder why smut should be any different?

Plus, in my country, legal age for marriage is as young as 16 with your their parents consent. In some indigenous tribes even today in my country, girls are married by 14 or 15... So um, it's really relative, this issue, isn't it? :P

The TOS and legal rules are important to follow, there's no arguing there :P As long as LJ or my image server doesn't ban me for my smut art, it should be fine :3

I really think it's up to you.

For me, I just put warnings up and put the risque stuff behind cuts. *shrugs.* It's up to the discretion of the viewer whehher he/she looks. I try to put clear-cut warnings, too.

I'm fine with multi-fandoms. :^D *likes to learn about what's out there . . . *

*just realized she never joined that comm . . . *

*wonders why the hell not?* *ROFLMAO!*

I noticed you do have a password on the XXX ones, so that's pretty good or is that just for people who haven't yet friended it? Like stupid ol' me?

*goes to correct her error.* :^P

Thanks muchly for your comments! They are definitely quite encouraging! :3

is that just for people who haven't yet friended it?
Yup, you nailed it. All my art in XXX are posted in my comm aposse_adesse so as long as you have a LJ account, you can view 'em by joining. :D

I've PSW locked my gallery mostly because I don't want any of my RL acquaintances stray in there by mistake should any of that situation arises, which I hope it never does :P

Heh, I know what you mean.

A few of my RL friends know about mine, but I'm not too worried. I never plan to run for public office anyways. *ROFLMAO!!!* I wouldn't be thrilled if my brother or something wandered in there, but he's really the only one I worry about . . . My parents, I wouldn't care. *ROFLMAO!* They've found my art stashes when I was a teen so they know what I'm capable of. :^P

*bwee* Thanks for such a sweet comment *glomps* But you do divide the fandoms and thought it was a brilliant idea, but if most ppl don't mind me mixing up all and sundry, then it's not like I compalin :3

I was gonna ask you something about Death Note, though terribly off-topic this may be :P But I can't find episode 7 on YouTube D: Do you know if it's out or where I can watch it online? (Preferably in japanese raws but English is as good!)

I've regretted splitting my fandoms up in two journals.

Seriously?? o.O Ah, but that's totally understanble. Busy f-lists make you want to prolong a day to 48 hrs. to keep up with 'em *g* But I was feeling my Lj was getting quite a bit disoganised with all the fandoms. And the neat freak part of me wants to straighten that out, but it's prone to happen on blogs. I just need to tag and title 'em correctly for ppl's convenience, methinks. I can do all that neat freak thing on my site *g*

Ooooh, so Death Note anime is very recent??? Didn't know that! And when d'you reckon the 2nd part of the Live Action Movie will be out for DL? *can't wait* GAH!

Obviously I can't see any because we aren't mutual friends so my answer will probably be biased, but if you just post hp artwork on your community, I would love to see the multifandom fanart unflocked or posted somewhere so I can see it ^.^ I love what you do. I also am getting into other fandoms and so I would be open to see others.

I'm assuming you mean my adult arts, yeah? Actually, my adult arts are posted on my comm aposse_adesse so as long as you join it, you can view 'em. No age statement or other restrictions whatsoever, even now.
I once thought to filter my smut arts in this LJ but the f-list grew out of proportion I could hardly handle it. So I decided to open a comm instead :P

Thanks for your comment, doll :D So very encouraging!

Yeah that's what I mean lol. Anyway, I meant that if you have any multifandom adult art I would love to see them, you said that aposse_adesse is strictly hp right? I was getting at that I would love to see others, what other fandoms do you draw because I really don't know other than HP ^.^ I'm already a part of your community by the way ^.^ If there are some fandoms that you draw for that I like maybe you can tell me where you post them and I can look at them that way.

oh no problem, even though we aren't friends I still enjoy your artwork. ^.^

Oops, I misunderstood what you meant! D: *d'oh me*

Ah, but that's a good point you brought up! I haven't drawn any adult arts that aren't HP as of yet. I hadn't thought where to post them if I do though. :B Thanks for pointing that out! *is TEH dork*

It's just a matter of time I start drawing some smut in other fandoms so I'll have to think about that and will definitely let you know!

I had trouble with my er... close relative, per se. But I can talk to that person in particular. As to my work collegues and RL friends, welp, I just hope they never find out about my LJ account :P

I wouldn't mind if non-HP stuff was filters, so I could opt out
Yeah, I've been tyoing with the idea but honestly? I've done it once but got overwhelming I just couldn't handle it. Were it two fandoms or three, I might've filtered them but when it comes to more and counting, it's too much. :P
