NC-17 Stories Have Plots!
RokofAges75:
^ I agree. It sounds like it needs to be really extreme to be rated NC-17. Think of the R-rated movies you've seen. Some of them get pretty racy, but they're still only rated R. I'm not sure I've ever even seen an NC-17 movie, minus a porno my friends and I rented once as a joke LOL. I've seen the unrated versions of R movies, so I guess maybe that counts, but usually they're not THAT much different than the originals.

LOL That's a good way to judge! A lot of the situations in my stories are similar to situations that would be in Sex & the City or R-rated movies.
I'm glad we had this discussion just so there is a better definition of what is considered R or NC-17. I feel a lot better now. :)

I agree, cause it really is hard to determine. I think I originally had BMS rated PG-13, and then I upped it to R once I started getting some sex in there LOL. Broken is still only PG-13, but maybe it should be R because of the language? Cause I know there's more than one cuss word in it. It's just hard to tell. But like Mare said, until someone complains, or until there are strict guidelines for ratings on the site, just go with your gut. It sounds like you probably only have an R-rated story.
Teri:
Ok since I discussed with mare i changed mine to R just because i guess it fits better. i'm always confused with ratings and i think maybe that's a good idea we ALL should address and work on, and awesome link Julie! I hope truly that no one thinks we (tri and i) came on here to attack people. we didn't we've been discussing this and decided that we should bring it to everyone. and i would like to thank each and everyone of you guys for your honest opinions, they are respected even if we disagree with them. And if we come off as angry or emotional about it, it's just because we're extremely passionate about the subject.

I second that! I wasn't trying to personally attack ANYONE. I'm really glad I brought the topic up because now I feel like it's resolved. Thank you, everyone. :) I really appreciate the feedback.
