If you were following that requirement, there was no need to bother with "young". Now the problem is magnified by orders of magnitude, since it's no longer a matter of looking for a key word, but it requires that someone now wade through the text for any story that has the code word "teen". Personally I'm holding up on posting anything more to the site until this issue has been resolved. As I've already noted, I have no intention of rewriting anything that I've already posted. Jinn can take it down and keep it down, that's his choice.
That could be, but it seems that if plans have not been changed, then a story with a "young" tag would have not been posted so recently. I agree that many underage stories simply used "teen," and some used none at all, which would indeed mean rummaging through every work here to see if there is a 17 year old lurking somewhere.

Assuming the removal of such stories does occur, I will probably revise some of mine so that people can continue to enjoy them here. I think I could do this without ruining the story line in some cases. However, there are a few ("Memoirs of a Slave Girl," for example) for which such an revision would simply not work. I'll simply post my stories with underage characters elsewhere...though bdsmlibrary.com is my absolute favorite story site!
