I'm not in favor of censorship, but ...

Okay, so the guy who started Wikipedia did a stupid, heavy-handed, and ineffective move a while back to censor the images available on Wikipedia and purge any "adult" content.  (Including great art in the sweep, diagrams of the human reproductive system, etc.)  Obviously, I do not approve.

But would it be possible to put explicit images a little further down the page, where you have to scroll down to them and they aren't shoved in your face when you click on the link?  We were watching "The Young Victoria" as a family tonight, and my Mom had a question about Prince Albert, and so I googled him, and the top link was to "Prince Albert" on Wikipedia, and I clicked on it without really looking ... and it wasn't about the person.  With a nice, big pic taking up half the screen.  I was very glad my kid brother was on the other side of the room because I so do not want to have to explain that to him ...

Fic: A Comfortable Life

This is my entry to the [community profile] asexual_fandom Commentfic/Kinkmeme.

Title: A Comfortable Life
Fandom: Pride and Prejudice
Characters: Charlotte Collins
Word Count: 632 words
AN1: An asexual is someone who does not experience sexual arousal.
AN2: I am assuming that Mr. Collins has Aspergers, and my portrayal of how that affects his sexuality is taken from So Odd a Mixture: Along the Autistic Spectrum in Pride and Prejudice by Phyllis Ferguson Bottomer, an excellent work on both Autism and Aspergers, and on Pride and Prejudice, which I cannot recommend highly enough whether you're interested in the autistic spectrum or P&P.



Charlotte appreciated a handsome man, but not as other girls did. )
