akk: AKK - Schriftzug aus Blitzen (Default)
In lieu of the increasingly available option to set "access controls" for fics not suitable for all audiences, I wonder how you rate multi-chapter fics.

I know that when people click on a fic rated NC-17 and find no content they consider "for mature audience", they tend to be annoyed (or even angry) about the false rating - often independent of whether or not they liked the fic in question - but what is considered mature depends a lot on the cultural background. For example: the US rates a lot more restrictive on sex and drugs than on (bloody) violence, whereas in Germany it's exactly the other way round. How do you rate your fics in that regard?

And what to do about multi-chapter fics? Not all chapters contain NC-17 material, some are just R or even PG, but such a chapter is merely a part of the whole story, which won't work without the mature parts. Do you rate chapters be rated strictly by what's in them - thus granting younger readers access to story parts, all the while knowing that they can't read the whole thing - or do you rate the story as a whole like I do?

How do you do it? :)

current chapter word count: 2064
and that are 307 words less because...? I restructured the scene order to emphasize parallel developments
resulting in Ameru 1 ~ Michiko 1 ~ Ameru 2 ~ Michiko 2 ~ {Omi} ~ Akechi ~ {Imonoyama} (was: Fuma on the phone) [mostly there, incomplete, {completely missing}]
resulting in avoidance of repetitiveness regarding events in chapter 17, avoidance of boring transition stuff, and driving home the SumeraMori point!
characters unexpectedly similar in action: Ameru, Michiko
character who won't get enough sleep: Imonoyama
because of two worried elder brothers and Fuma on the phone!
quote of the day: "...is Subaru!"
