IMPORTANT!

mebigbang:

we have a serious matter to bring to your attention.  If you’re American and/or use Google Drive, heads up.  Terms of Service has CHANGED.  Anything mentioning sex work or prostitution or ‘sexually explicit material’ is getting CENSORED.  BACK YOUR DOCUMENTS UP OFFLINE IF YOU HAVE STORIES THAT HAVE ANYTHING LIKE THAT

Changes as follows:   Drive TOS: Sexually explicit material
Do not publish sexually explicit or pornographic images or videos. Writing about adult topics is permitted as long as it is not accompanied by sexually explicit images or videos, or any material that promotes or depicts unlawful or inappropriate sexual acts with children or animals. Additionally, we do not allow content that drives traffic to commercial pornography.

We do allow naturalistic and documentary depictions of nudity (such as an image of a breastfeeding infant), as well as depictions of nudity that serve a clear educational, scientific, or artistic purpose.)

We don’t know what this means for AO3, but be on alert that stories might get pulled.  Back up your shit

I took a look at this and I wouldn’t panic just yet unless you include actual images or videos in your work. They haven’t come out and said they’ll be looking through word documents, so I’m not going to panic just yet.
