Welcome,

yamane_ayano is an adult-only community. All posts are only shown to members. If you are 18 or older and would like to join, please follow the two steps below.


1. Please copy and paste the following statement (everything in italics) into a comment here, changing the mm/dd/yyyy to your birthdate:

I swear that my birth date is: mm/dd/yyyy (change to your birth date). Any misrepresentation of that fact is solely my responsibility and not that of the yamane_ayano IJ community or its mods. I understand that if I'm found to be under 18, I will be permanently removed from the community.

Your comments will be screened, which means it will look like only your comment is here, but you just can't see anyone else's, like they can't see yours. Only you and the mods can see your post.


2. Then follow this link and click the join button so IJ sends us your username to approve:

http://www.insanejournal.com/community/join.bml?comm=yamane_ayano

Be aware that IJ won't let you click it unless your IJ profile has your birth date entered, though it needn't be visible, and you're at least 18. When you tell IJ you want to join, a request for membership will be sent for us to approve, and if you've also posted your birthdate a YA Mod will approve you as quickly as possible. :)

You must complete both steps to be accepted as a member. If you're 18 or older and your membership is rejected, it is most likely because one of these was not done.

On occasion this does happen by mistake because of the dreaded comment rot and we reject people who went through the process correctly. If you feel this is the case, please email us and try both posting and joining again. We are not sure why this happens and squeaky is already trying to fix the bug. Until he does, we apologize for the inconvience.
