I'm currently betaing a fic, which has made brief use of the word "f..."
I've censored the word in this post, but my question is, is that a requirement for the Archives and these mbs?
When I was writing Yesterday Upon the Stair, I was told I couldn't use that particular word in an Archives fic, and so I didn't.
But I'm thinking times have changed somewhat since then. Yvonne used the word "shit" which I personally find a stronger expletive than "f...", and I've noticed "bugger" in a couple of fics (can't remember which, sorry).
So shall I tell the author it's okay? It really is a good little scene.
