Witch Hunt
Delete if against the rules, but I believe this pertains to all fan fiction writers who's work may be considered taboo. This is very important, please take the time to read. Your journal may be deleted.

Protect your journals and fanfictions/fanart from deletion!
A group is pressuring Livejournal to "crack down" on communities and journals that THEY believe are cesspools for pedophiles and rapists. The so called Warriors for Innocence are out and about basically being vigilantes and censorships for places they think are hang outs for pedophiles and the like.

Salient quote from another article on that site: "We practically cleaned out Blogger of pedophile web sites. We plan on doing the same with LiveJournal."
They are currently using the interest in your userinfo to have journals and communities deleted just by that alone. If you have any hot words, or words that pertain to illegal acts in any roleplaying, fanfiction, or normal account here, or elsewhere I suggest you wipe those clean as they are not making any exceptions for accounts based in a fantasy or non-reality setting. Three roleplaying journals have been reported so far as being permanently deleted for interest keywords that were reported to the lj staff by these so called Warriors for Innocence.
In the interest of your accounts I suggest you clean out any offensive word in interests and save all important posts in a back up file or a word document in case they go further then just interest tagging. As it would not be beyond this people to use public posts of questionable content to report.

liz_marcs <-- This one pretty much sums up the situation, as this user has had official correspondence with Warriors of Innocence.

innocence_jihad A group created to pull information and think of ways to protest this sudden censorship happening.
Just to make myself clear, I am posting this out of concern for free speech. I do not condone the abuse of anyone by anyone, least of all pedophiles and child rapists.
