The Further Adventures of an Ill-Rated Fanfic

[kennahijja]

Those of you who remember my recent confused posting about rating issues might be interested in the further tale of Slytherin Lovers. Which, to cut a long whine short, was rejected from one archive for not being NC-17 enough. Well, it was subsequently resubmitted to a lower-rated archive, where it was rejected for being too NC-17 :). Which didn't surprise me much, and I admit I was very entertained by sitting on the Fic That Broke The Rating System. Hey, I'm the one who's generally opposed to clear boundaries ;).

Well, as several wise people had advised me in the first place, I appealed with a (hopefully not to whiny) 'Look, it's got to belong *somewhere*, right, and I don't think among things child-safe', and wheeee! it got accepted. As R ;). Which makes me suspect it was more to shut me up than from conviction, but yeah, well, I feel better to have it *there* than *there*.

On the one hand the whole thing amuses me greatly, but on the other I think I broke my brain trying to figure out the dividing lines between NC-17 and R for good this time :). But at least it shows it's not just me!

:x :x thank you! :>

Also, I've always found FA's ratings guide helpful whenever I wasn't sure. Or I just cheat by rating things in-between >.>

You'll be welcome tomorrow ;)

I did look at the ratings guide, and thought 'it's probably not going to flow' which it didn't :). Still, even that guide depends a lot on context and interpretation...
