#rating system

I think it mostly depends on each person’s judgement and that may vary from person to person. but personally, what I use to determine which rating fits best for a work is:

general audiences = no swearing, no sexual content, no blood, no gore, no references to anything that can be considered taboo (if you can safely read it out loud to a kid, it’s considered generally audiences)

teen and up audiences = swearing, some sexual content (nothing too explicit), some references to things that can be taboo (nothing too explicit), references to substance abuse is safe for teen and up audiences rating if it’s nothing too explicit, alcohol is safe for teen and up audiences rating if it’s not the main plot of the work, if it’s not character battling alcoholism or withdrawal in graphic details

mature = sexual content (that is not outright explicit porn), blood and gore, substance abuse, etc

explicit = porn, blood and gore that are described in heavily graphic details. substance abuse that is described in heavily graphic details, etc

it looks like that

Although frequently adorable, FOS is based in a bdsm winner's room au, so ratings for stories in the FOS series are higher by default (M+).

I. Was that an earthquake or was it the wind?

II. Did you feel that earthquake last night?

III. Actually I might need to get under the table, this one is quite big

IV. Town is now closed while the engineers check all high rise buildings for structural integrity

V. The Japanese have sent us their special earthquake search and rescue teams

General Audiences (G): The content is unlikely to be disturbing to anyone, and is suitable for all ages.

Teen and Up Audiences (T): The content may be inappropriate for audiences under 13.

Mature (M): The content contains adult themes (sex, violence, etc.) that aren’t as graphic as explicit-rated content.
