What do you think is the point where a story crosses from an "R" rating to an "X"? (Or in the case of fanfic, to an "M"?) Is it only when specific body parts are mentioned...or when the act is implied? |

I wouldn't say it is when something is implied. It probably crosses the line when the act is described in detail. |

I think the male body parts - or more...intimate female body parts play a part - those parts that aren't shown in "R" rated movies. Breasts are shown - I don't think using that word makes it an "R". I don't think describing the act in an emotional or general detail crosses the line, but giving specific information can. Hmmm. It's hard to say without using certain terminology isn't it I have in my mind what it is - but I'm sure my line is different than someone else's....

Another question: Do you think fanfic's "M" is the same as an "X"? |

There's a lot of difference in stories posted under 'M'. I'd classify most as 'R' but I have read some (on other sites-not this one!) that are certainly 'X'. |

I agree - I haven't read any on fanfiction for BW that are an "X" to me - just an "R". I have seen a few in other places that did seem to be "X"'s... At least they were posted in the "M" category. Some of them seemed okay though - just more explicit than others, but in context. |

It isn't an easy question to answer. One person's R is another person's X or another person's PG 13. If you think it mature, put an M on it. Readers and viewers should always be aware that they may read/view something they might not like. There's always the off button if they find it. |

If you didn't guess, I am asking out of curiosity - but also because of Chapter Six. Can I get away with keeping this story NOT an "M"? Or have I crossed into "M" territory? |

Why worry about it? I thought your last chapter was fine - steamy, but GOOD! You gave fair warning at the beginning of the chapter

Not worried about it here so much as when it eventually travels over to fanfic.... |

Oh, I think it's DEFINITELY okay for fanfiction - I've seen MUCH more explicit text there. |

I agree with OJFan - the end of chap 6 was great & steamy but no way near an M compared with some of the other stories on the fanfiction site. I've never read anything on this site that I thought was gross or tasteless. |

I have seen some "M"s on fanfic (not Bionic Woman ones) that I thought crossed WAY over the line - to at least triple-X! |

I honestly can't say I've seen any of those - thank goodness. The few I've seen were just more explicit, but still attempted to be tasteful. |

This one was in Harry Potter, of all places, and although it takes a lot to offend me, I was offended - and shocked. |
