Well, they've just put a new note up on the homepage...

[dragonbat2006.livejournal.com]

June 4th 2012 -- Notices: •Please note we would like to clarify the content policy we have in place since 2002. FanFiction.Net follows the Fiction Rating system ranging from Fiction K to Fiction M. Although Fiction Ratings goes up to Fiction MA, FanFiction.Net since 2002 has not allowed Fiction MA rated content which can contain adult/explicit content on the site. FanFiction.Net only accepts content in the Fiction K through Fiction M range. Fiction M can contain adult language, themes and suggestions. Detailed descriptions of physical interaction of sexual or violent nature is considered Fiction MA and has not been allowed on the site since 2002.


No word about summaries needing to be rated K, though...


ETA: Yes, I see it in the general rules that you need to consent to before posting a story, but they haven't mentioned it in their latest heads-up.

Pardon me while I pop in here, I just saw the lovely post on FF.net main page and I literally, vocally, cussed out my computer screen. I understand that if the rules are being completely violated for example using the c word (and no not crap, the other, big nono derogatory to women c word) or talking in horridly graphic detail about sexual intercourse, or anything else...but, ummmm I'm a lesbian, I write lesbian works...

Clearly, I'm waiting to have a pitchfork up my rear end in a minuet because I pride myself on sensual work...not graphic work...still, I'm sitting here biting my lip as I wait for the hammer to drop because of a few of my lovely lines that I've placed in a few fan fictions. none of them are bad, and I've read far worse, but the fact is, I'm simply worried I'll be targets.

With how wonderfully vague they are, even being gay could mean "I no likey your fiction, you good writer, must go poof!" Sadly, much to the dismay of myself, and many others, that's (in and of itself at any rate) simply not the reason to delete anything...sigh.
