Given the recent kerfuffle about warnings for fanfics, I hereby explicitly state my own policy:
Fanfic rating policy: I rate my fanfics using the MPAA rating system (G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17). You'll find the rating stated in my fanfic guide post, in my announcement posts to communities, and at the very top of the story itself. The rating is followed by a listing of the reason for the rating.
Multi-chapter stories are rated as a whole in the same manner at the very beginning of the fic. If the content of a later chapter exceeds the scope of the initial rating, an additional warning is given at the top of the chapter.
I use AdultFanfiction.net's extensive list of story codes as a first reference for content to list. However, I expect potential readers to inform themselves about the canon content of the respective fandom. Please note that I am German and more critical about violence than sex. However, I try to pay respect to the different sensibilities esp. in the US by usually using the higher rating when I believe it might differ.
Additional statement: This policy has been in use since 1995 (minus the AFF reference, which wasn't available back then).
If you are unsure about a fic of mine, you may pm or mail me about the critical content and I do my best to answer you quickly whether or not a story is save.
If you want to harass me about rating too much, too little, for the wrong stuff, in the wrong language, context, place, order, color, style or general perception of life[tm]: Fuck off & think of the children elsewhere!
