"Smut" is benign. "Porn" is explicit. These are common definitions in fanart land.

Of course, for people who have their own server, I can merely seethe with jealousy(But, yes, you'd have to manually resize the image in GIMP / Photoshop / whathave you, upload both, and use the thumbnail picture for linking.)
GlitterFey wrote:The thumbnail compromise seems good too, but I don't know how to do that unless it just means creating a thumbnail image, uploading both and linking from the thumb.

And I'm pleased to see that my work managed to make it into both example categories. :-)
Ironically, I haven't drawn any nudes for years now.

Does that help clarify the difference? Remember, I'm not saying that porn is *bad*
Also: for any of you Walkyphiles - the IW! community's smut fanart is almost exclusively "smut" as anything with explicit general content is generally frowned upon loudly by the community and, often, Willis. Again, it's not that I think *this* community should act the exact same way - I am proferring it as an example that I think some of you will be familiar with.

That is a gross misunderstanding on your part, not an implicit statement on my part. Not benign does not equal bad. We're not talking about cancer, here. If your lexicon is limited, it is not my problem nor my responsibility.

You are trying to start a fight and I'm not taking that bait. Goodday to you.
