What is this Rated???
Ratings are really easy to understand here on In Another Life, there are three.
General
This rating means that the fiction is “generally” safe for members as young 13-14 years of age. The content is kept rather clean. It is similar to a film that would be rated PG or PG-13. Any possible offense to these guidelines should be addressed in the warnings, in the header, of the fiction.The material in said fiction can not go beyond these limits:
Mild violence. No gore.
Mild language Nothing stronger than Ass-Bitch-Shit-Damn
Mild sensuality. Characters are kissing, holding hands, gently touching. There is NO graphic explanations of sexual situations or bodies.
Mild drug/alcohol use. Smoking pot, drinking of beer, smoking cigarettes.
Mature
Member MUST submit an application to view these fictions.
This rating means that readers should be mature, at leased 16. The sexual, drug and violent situations are stronger, more frequent and harsher than that of General Fiction. However there is NO erotica, BDSM or graphic gore. Authors MUST place a note in warnings, in header, if anything is taken to an extreme.
Adult
Member MUST submit an application to view these fictions.
This rating has no cap. In other words, there is nothing unacceptable in this category. All material is expectable. Authors MUST place warnings of what areas are written to an extreme in the header of their fiction.
