TEF Censorship: what is and what is not acceptable?

Because I am genuinely curious.

From what I've seen within the community there is a big motivation here to shield the younger members from more harsh content (language, violence, sexuality) which I can agree when it's done in a respectful manner (by both artist and those requesting censorship). Yet I've seen that sometimes work slip through the cracks of this censorship. Which got me thinking, as an artist and writer, what should I be posting?

I draw and am working on human anatomy. Sometimes this means I show a lot of skin in my work (anybody who's seen me draw Queze knows this) but I don't tend to draw sexually charged stuff. When I write I often use romance and violence. Does this mean my work is still ok to be submitted? If so, is there some sort of balancing act where more sexual pictures (kissing for example) are ok as long as there isn't much skin showing? Is content of any range (obviously not talking pornographic) of content acceptable as long as it is properly warned in the title? Is there a separate set of guidelines for literature and art (which there should not be, in my mind)?

I'm not looking to cause any fighting, I'm just curious and would like to have some more concrete guidelines for what I post here. And please, don't say "post whatever you want, don't let people stop you." if I felt that way, believe me I would do it. But I respect the will of the community at large to have certain restrictions.

Ok... I need to beg I guess.

So, here's the deal. I've been under a lot of verbal abuse in real life and am constantly getting slapped with 'fixes' and critiques on how I dress/act/sound/live/what I eat/ ect. Frankly I'm basically at the point of tears in reality and started thinking about some very unplesant things to do to end it.
Frankly, I have been ridiculed to the point of finding myself feeling completely worthless. Like my live is a complete flaw and that I do nothing right, ever.
I need encouragment. Severely.

Please, just someone tell me SOMETHING good. Just let me know if there's ANYTHING good about my being around, or if I've done anything right that you can think of. I hate feeling like a worthless flaw.

Like a failure.

In the Violets Patch...

My mind was dark.
The sounds of the forest made no noise in my ears as I lied there asleep next to her.
The steady rhythm of our breaths made some sort of a lullaby.
Then she moved.
I felt her lift her head off my side.
She whispered to me.


"Jake it's time."
No one had told me, but I knew it was so.
I lifted my head and shook the blonde tresses from my face.
I wanted this to be quiet, just us, so I stood and motioned for him to follow.

I'm Back!

Yeah. When you mix in midterms and the fact that the computer I'm on about 3-4 nights a week is no longer willing to play TEF, I've had a busy few weeks. So...I'm sorry I haven't been around, but I hope to find a way to bring myself back fully into this community.

I lost all my spells.. :(

Hello everyone, as the title says I had lost my spells.. I'm so clumsy.

I was hanging out with three other deer near the bridge when I walked near the water and fell in.. I was so mad with myself..

I was hoping if anyone would be willing to help me get them back. The spells I want are: The butterfly antlers, blue and yellow pelt (I don't know its proper name) and the real deer mask.

Noone really has to do this, I can always find some random person, but I hate walking around naked.. its embarrassing o.o.

If you want to help me, you can meet me at the crying idol. I will change my pelt colour to red so people can really recongnise me.. thankyou..

No one has to do this, remember Eye

How can I delete my account here?

My parents had discovered that I've created accounts in a few sites, and they want me to delete that, but I don't know how I can delete the account on this site. Someone can help me?
