Nightwing/Arsenal fanart (colored version)

On a related note, could someone explain to me what kind of pictures are commonly regarded as "not worksafe" when labeling fanart? I realize that pictures where you can see genitals would be considered NWS, but at which point does NWS start? Like, would the picture in this post already be labeled NWS by common convention, just because they're naked and kissing, even though you don't really see much of their bodies and they're not doing more than kiss? I mean, it's not what you'd consider an "adult" picture, certainly not here, but I don't think it would be in the US either, odd as those rating systems are.

BTW, are other people also still having problems with the LJ comment notifications? By now I get notified of some again, but still not of all. *grumble*

Yes this whole "worksafe" issue confuses me too. The way I see it, people should be working while they are on the job and saving their personal internet explorations for home time! :P But that said, I think it will all depend on the nature of an individual's particular work environment. That's why I like to just put in a "Worksafe assessment" line and describe briefly the kind of possibly objectionable content in the art. Still, it does kind of tarnish the mystery and the buildup somewhat... :(

But I would definitely be curious to see a wider range of thoughts on this issue. Does anyone know where it's been discussed before (as I'm sure that it has) or else what the most appropriate forum might be?

No, I really haven't seen it. It might be the kind of thing to get started in your LJ, and maybe poke metafandom to pick up, so you get a wider range of input.

And whether there's personal browsing time at work also varies widely. I work in a University Library, where it's not really monitored at all, as long as you're getting your work done, so following links of LJ on break or now and then isn't a problem.

Cool job. I work for the government so, yeah, it's a big deal. ;) Also, thanks for the pointer re: metafandom. I'll have to look into it.
