Ratings. (original) (raw)

So I'm sure we've all been there. You just finished your fanfic or your fanart, and you're not sure what to put down on the one little line: rating. By reading this post, you should be able to figure out what to rate it. (:

To begin, keep track of the number of -'s that fit your piece of work. At the end, you will add them up to fit them into a category.

-Work contains 1-3 "dirty" words.
-Work contains 4+ "dirty" words.
-Snogging is involved.
-Anything beyond snogging is involved.
-Anything beyond snogging that is very detailed.
-Any clothing item is removed.
-Any (even small) amount of female cleavage is showing.
-Private areas are showing.
-No clothing described/shown.
-Any guns, knives, or dangerous objects used.
-Death of any sort involved.
-Drug use assumed.
-Drug use referenced.

0-0 Minus's - Rated G
1-2 Minus's - Rated PG
3-5 Minus's - Rated PG-13
6-9 Minus's - Rated R
10-13 Minus's - Rated NC-17

This is general. If you think it should be deemed a higher rating, please do not be afraid to do so.
If a mod deems a rating inappropriate, they will comment the entry asking you to change the rating.
You will have one week to change it, or the post will be deleted.

Thank you for taking time to read through this. If you have further questions, do not hesitate to ask in a comment here.
