There has been a very minor alteration to the TOS - a new rule which has been tacitly understood but now implemented in full. As some of you might be aware, an underage author has been floating a story around at least two of the Spuffy archives, something which has raised concerns among some in our community. Underage authors aren't exactly an anomaly in the fandom, but as this particular author was closer to ten than twenty, therefore action was taken. The Elysian Fields staff has concluded that authors should be at least seventeen years old to post here, as our site includes incredibly adult material. Access to stories with ratings G-R will remain open, and of course, we operate on the honor system when it comes to age. But for those authors who are open about being underage, we must take precautions as to not find ourselves liable for the material on this site.

What does this mean to you? Nothing much. We merely have implemented a new rule to ensure Elysian Fields is absolved should we become the target of angry parents. Naturally, we cannot help who may or may not become irate at what their child reads, but this does ensure that we have adequately covered our tracks.

Thank you, and happy reading/writing!
