Rating Question for A03

[tripperfunster]

The rating on my Regarding Tony comic is M for Mature on A03. While there is peen there is no graphic penetration, there is no non-con or even dub-con really.

Someone commented there that I need to change the rating, and I'm honestly not sure if I should. The next step up is E for Explicit which is 'only for adults'.

I would think that the rating of Mature pretty much implies it's only for adults too. (The rating down is Teen.)

Whatdaya think?

Ha! That is EXACTLY what I was thinking! I want to see porn, but not WITH DICKS AND STUFF! Just ... soft porn. *eyeroll*

Heh, as a queer woman, I'm not all that interested in seeing detailed pictures of dicks, even if I like m/m erotica. But if it happens in something I already like and am reading, I try not to don't focus on it.

Hee! You keep on 'trying not to'. ;)

I assume that you're not SURPRISED or shocked by it though. Especially if something is rated Mature.

I guess what really bothered me is that I couldn't find an acutal guidline for how to rate stuff on A03.
