Another (baby) step in the right direction

New York State will now recognize same-sex marriages. Same-sex couples still can't marry there, but if they are legally married elsewhere (Massachusetts, California, Canada, etc.), New York will recognize it as a valid, legal marriage. It may be a small step forward, but it IS a step forward.

"Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!"

I have my story Fifteen posted at ff.net (under the penname "Mysid") as well as here at LJ. At ff.net, the story has a rating of "T", equivalent to PG-13. "Fifteen" just received this review at ff.net:

I know this is not technically slash. but it does have mentions of it. I read you story halfway, then I stopped because that just not my thing.

I would really appreciate if you put mentions of slash warning in your summary.

And perhaps you could even write a non-slash version of this. I for 1 would love to see Sirius on his other adventures.

Till next time (hopefully)

My reply to Azer:

Mysid is the penname I use for slash stories, so you are probably better off not reading anything written by "Mysid". My older penname, JKLB, might have some stories you would like.

As for a putting a "slash warning" in the summary, I don't think it is necessary. I am more than willing to warn readers that a story is sexually explicit (if it is), but a T-rated story is a T-rated story whether the characters like someone of the same sex or the opposite sex.

Homosexuality is just as normal as heterosexuality, and I refuse to "warn" people about it. If you disagree, we will simply have to agree to disagree.

And my final comment--which I did not include--"Bitch."
