okay, so i'm putting together the zine and have come up against a stumbling block. authors have rated their own stories, but it's not exactly consistent.
usually my process is:
no sex = G or PG, depending on themes
cussing, kissing, some romantic involvement = PG-13
blowjob, hand job, vague description of penetrative sex = R
explicitly described penetrative sex = NC-17
though there are cases in the zine where there's like, explicitly described blow jobs that would rate at NC-17. then there are other blow jobs that aren't as explicit, and i would rate as R. but should I make that definition in language, or in plot?
to appease my curiosity:
[Poll #336016]

lorie945 suggested that if i have an overall warning and disclaimer (which i do), i shouldn't be putting ratings on individual stories. what do you reckon?
