Ok. Here is some info on the ratings of the stories which are archived here. I think that's sort of important.
G: General Audiance. All ages admitted. Nudity, sex scenes, and scenes of drug use are absent; violence is minimal; snippets of dialogue may go beyond polite conversation but do not go beyond common everyday expressions.
PG: Parental Guidance suggested: Some material may not be suitable for children. Explicit sex scenes and scenes of drug use are absent; nudity, if present, is seen only briefly, horror and violence do not exceed moderate levels.
PG-13: Parents Strongly Cautioned: Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. Rough or persistent violence is absent; sexually-oriented nudity is generally absent; some scenes of drug use may be seen; one use of the harsher sexually derived words may be heard.
R: Restricted-Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian : Contains some adult material. An R may be assigned due to, among other things, use of language, theme, violence, sex or portrayal of drug use.
NC-17: No One 17 and Under Admitted: Patently adult,children age 17 and under should not be admitted. may contain explicit sex scenes, an accumulation of sexually-oriented language, or scenes of excessive violence. The NC-17 designation does not, however, signify that the rated story is obscene or pornographic.
The Strong pity the weak and the weak envy the Strong. The light is but a lie, and darkness is the only truth. Life is but a passing dream, but the death that comes after is eternal.

Well, it suddenly ocurred to me when NoName postet her story rated R to NC-17. I thought it would be good to have some information there. One of the sites my friend was reading fanfiction on got sued and had to shut down.

Actually I think I was the one who rated my story like that, but I also kind of separated lemons from actual fic. And they have CAPS warnings before and after the lemon...yeah, but good idea! <3~~Crysta-chan~~
