I always thought I'd be a grown up when I grew up

Heavens, I almost forgot to submit prompts for springkink! I've resubmitted 6 that weren't picked last time, and dreamed up 8 new ones. I think there's some good daegaer and louiselux bait in there to ease my first few weeks in my new job... < / puppydogeyes > ;)

This time, I will be good. I know I can't do more than a couple of short fics, especially with a move & everything associated with it. Please feel free to kick me if I appear to be doing otherwise.

ETA the bit I originally meant to write:

With all the LJ fuss about underage characters in fanfic / fanart, I'm not sure quite what to think of Jilly Cooper's latest (Wicked). I *like* Jilly Cooper, with all her 2-dimensional expositions and lack of understanding of anyone without a £200k house in the country. It reminds me of growing up during the Eighties :)

I'm less sure how to take sex scenes (not graphic, but certainly R-rated at times, in comparison with much of the fic out there) between schoolchildren. I *know* a large percentage of kids have sex before they're 16, but I'm still not comfortable with it being made sexy in a bestselling book. And, of course, why is it ok for a published author to write things that would get the user kicked off LJ?
