Frakking Hell!

[donnaimmaculata]

Does Archive of our Own cencor explicit language? Because I've just tried to read two fics and was thrown out of the story* by the repeated and highly inappropriate use of the word "frak". I feel dirty and violated.

*uh, "story"

They don't - I expect that's a reference to Battlestar Galactica, where 'frak' is used instead of 'fuck'.

Were you reading Battlestar Galactica fic? :-P

No, that's just weird.

That reminds me of these German zine publishers who used to write "G-d" instead of "God" and when I asked them why, they said Americans find it unacceptable to write out "God" and so it had to be censored. I tried to convince them that that's only a rule in Judaism, but they wouldn't accept my humble American opinion on that. ;-)
