30 Days of Fan Fiction Meme, Day 14
Jul. 12th, 2011 10:47 pm14 – Ratings – how high are you comfortable with going? Have you ever written higher? If you're comfortable with NC-17, have you ever been shocked by finding that the story you're writing is G-rated instead?
I've written G through NC-17. The bulk of my fic probably hovers around PG-13. Of course, I follow the![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
vilakins school of rating, which states that a cautious NC-17 may be warranted if you have explicit reference to genitals. I don't think I've ever written a fic that would warrant NC-17 on the basis of graphic violence or awfulness in themes. I'm not a graphic sex or violence writer, and how "high" I'm willing to go content-wise is pretty much a matter of degree of detail (vs. act). The kinkiest sex I've written is probably the eunuch-dildo sex in my Katze/Guy fic (it's hard to write AnK without being kinky), but as per usual, I didn't describe it in much detail. In general, I'm not much into kink (or what usually gets labeled as kink), so I don't tend to write it. I'm perfectly content to write G if an idea grabs me. But since I usually write fic that has at least a trace of angst, painful past experiences, etc., I'm more commonly at least in the PG for themes range.
( Rest of Questions )
