bottom_draco We would like to interrupt our usual program with a few messages:
1. Please be respectful of one another when you leave comments. Everyone is entitled to voice their opinions, but everyone is also entitled to not feel threatened after voicing an opinion, so everyone, be nice. Also, and more importantly, we the mods have a zero-tolerance policy toward disrespect and general unpleasantness, and we do not practice niceties toward those who do not observe this policy. To learn more, click here.
2. Please be reminded that this is a *drum rolls* BOTTOM!DRACO community! (*gasps* No way!) It is NOT called BOTTOM!DRACO SOME OF THE TIMES AND TOP!DRACO OTHER TIMES. If this confuses you, take a look here, here, here, and here).
3. And when we say this is a BOTTOM!DRACO community, we mean: fics, art, videos, fanvids, and all other unmentioned forms of media must contain bottom!Draco, either completely, or mostly. These fics, art, videos, fanvids, and other unmentioned forms of media must be CLEARLY labeled if there is SWITCHING (both bottom!Draco and top!Draco make an appearance). If this doesn't sound familiar to you, click here.
4. We are getting sick and tired of reminding people of the very obvious fact that this is a BOTTOM!DRACO community. You do not see anyone posting recs of bottom!Draco over at, say, bottom!Harry community, or snarking at anyone who say they prefer top!Draco or bottom!Draco anywhere else, so PLEASE: STOP. We try to keep this a low-key, fun, friendly place for people to interact and play and ogle over bottom!Draco goodness, since, you know, this is a BOTTOM!DRACO community, but we need YOUR cooperation to do so.
5. If you need clarification as to what we mean by bottom!Draco, it means NC-17 work = Draco getting a cock up his arse. It means extensive and thorough descriptions of top!Draco for the majority of the fic/art/fanvids/other unmentioned = NO NO NO! For more information, you can check out the community rules, fest rules, and we're sure there's another more extensive discussion somewhere (untagged) in the community. We will get back to you later if we do find it.
6. What about switching, you ask? One of the mods mentioned it here quite explicitly, but just in case, it means: Sure Draco can put his cock in someone's arse/vagina, but for majority of the fic/art/fanvids/unmentioned, he must get it up his arse; (we're quite sure he has no problem with this arrangement XD).
If you scroll down the rules post and check out the comments, you will see that all the mods, and the members, offered their input on the subject of bottom!Draco once upon a time.
7. We also have a very specific rule as to how we handle top!Draco fics. Take a look here! (It's like magic, we have the answer for everything!) Basically, check before you rec! If you are unable to check if the fic has switching, top, or bottom Draco, you have two options: let the person know the fic might include some top!Draco, or don't rec.
8. If we do not discover a top!Draco work in time, don't panic! You can always help us out by sending us an email or kindly let the reccer know. Sometimes it is an honest mistake, sometimes it is just people being contrary, but certainly no one gets hurt from gentle reminders and kind words of caution.
9. As one of our mods eloquently put it, "We know that everyone's threshold for tolerating top!Draco differs, but please respect the theme of this community!" (reference) So please, respect each other, respect the theme of the community (BOTTOM!DRACO), and keep the unpleasant feelings to a minimum.
10. If we, the mods, come off as being rude or blunt or offensive, we do apologize. However, considering how this is NOT the first time we have had to address this problem (here, here, here, here, and other posts that we forgot to tag or have deleted because of the awful things people said), we feel that our reaction is appropriately dramatic.
11. If you want to discuss anything with us, feel free to leave a comment or email us at bottomdraco@gmail.com. We are here to listen and take into consideration your thoughts. However, please observe #4 of this post before sending us a Howler!
12. Last but not least: READ THEDAMN RULES.
Now let's get back to our lovely fest and unwind from all the tension!
Yours,
Bottom!Draco mods

Date: 2010-11-11 04:32 am (UTC)I assume people like to read fics and therefore can read a rec and WHERE IT'S COME FROM.
I must say, you're commercials are lovely.

Re: Quick
Date: 2010-11-11 05:23 am (UTC)It has been a topic of discussion for all of the mods for quite sometimes now (mostly the fact that no one reads the rules). The rather controversial post below sort of made one of the mods (me) implode :P
Hopefully this post clears up all the misunderstanding and confusion and gives everyone a chance to cool down. The unpleasantness, I felt, was reaching a new height.
no subject
Date: 2010-11-11 08:41 am (UTC)I hope your little post will change something. Although I am a bit pessimistic. If some people didn't read the rules in the first place (and don't even understand the title of the community, apparently), then, I don't think they will read this... I guess we'll see.
Anyway, thank you for being such great mods and paying close attention to what happens here :)
(Also, I saw this morning that I had 6 new msgs but then, I am "not authorized to read these comments"... does this have anything to do with this?)
So you say Draco is bottoming in this community?
Date: 2010-11-11 12:24 pm (UTC)I do understand that your job must be (sometimes?) frustrating but these rules made me laugh. A lot.
Thank you. :))

Date: 2010-11-12 11:39 am (UTC)he was born to be bottom and die to be bottom...
That's all...
*bow* :D

Date: 2010-11-11 05:42 pm (UTC)I've recently been kinda scared to read recs because of the appearance of top!draco/switching fics around here.
It's not the end of the world and everybody has their own thing I guess but it's unnecessary to post those fics here.
Not like I'm mad or anything it's just, unnecessary.
You wouldn't post HP/DM in a RL/SS comm or something like that...
I'm glad you cleared this up and I hope people will read the rules before posting! :D
no subject
Date: 2010-11-12 02:44 am (UTC)I don't know if we should actually just fucking put the rules on the top-most post. Would that be preferred by the members? You'd have thought everyone would've gotten the hint by now.
no subject
Date: 2010-11-12 03:29 am (UTC)Never realized b!Draco is such a controversial topic. We really should add it to the list of things never to talk about at the dinner table, like religion and politics. LOL, have you seen any HP fandom topic that causes such heat lately? XD
no subject
Date: 2010-11-12 03:33 am (UTC)Anyway! You know, I think Potter!Fens are pretty zen! There are a few bad apples here and there but nothing extremely controversial. If there are, it's probably contained within the comms like ours. I do know a little gossip about a former Potter!BNF. Lol.
