NC-17 Stories Have Plots!

Most of the people who had their stories as NC-17 had put the incorrect rating on them, so this whole discussion ended up kind of defunct when those authors then went and changed their ratings to the correct, less severe ones. If you look in the FAQ there's a post with the AC standard for rating fics, so you'll find that the stories in question in this thread are now R rated.

I was going to comment last night on the initial post of this thread, lol. But after going through the entire thing, I did end up changing my ratings to R ratings. I hope that more people start reading... :)

I think a lot of people found it helpful because it really puts a label on your story that might be unnecessary. It's telling people (much like it was telling us mods) that it's an intensely graphic, violent or pornographic fic and that seemed to be way too high a rating for a lot of the fics that were calling themselves NC-17.

I agree. I tend to be very deatailed in my writing, and so, where the love/sex scenes where concerned, I felt that rating was the one to go with. However, now I see that's not the case, although it comes up now and then. My writing has a theme, plot, and a definite purpose with and overall meaning. It's not just about the love story... haha, these charcters are going places. ;D So thanks Julily, for clearing the waters!

I'm really glad this thread could help you! I was soooo confused as well but talking about it with everyone and seeing what exactly is there and what's not, helps so much. I like you had my stories as NC-17 and I'm glad that it was an innappropriate rating for my stories because at least it's fixable!! =)
