30 Day Fandom Meme Day 14
Day 14 – 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 reasonably graphic sex (though I’ve read coarser ways of writing it than I would want to do, but I’m not sure whether that makes them more graphic). I assume that’s NC-17, though I don’t purport to know what the ratings really mean. I have found that with the vague intent to write a graphic story, the story itself has gone no further than a kiss or thereabouts. The story decides for itself (that’s why I say “vague” intent – I don’t often sit down planning to write a sex story. I sit down with a plot idea in mind, not a rating).
