Oh, never mind! I should probably try to get as many done of these as I can anyway, this week is far less busy than next week will be. I'll be doing press coverage of Fantasia and Nuits d'Afrique, have to attend a spate of out-of-office client meetings during the day, and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sub_divided will be in town! None of which makes for sitting at computer screens on beautiful summer afternoons, and thank goodness for that. This probably also means I should clear out my backlog of movie and book reviews. And the Madoka fic. XD;
I do have the last Dunnett sitting on my table at home. I've just been holding off on it because I have the impression I can't do anything else when I'm reading her. Instead I've been reading Heyer XD; Cotillion - it's a crack shoujo manga, basically.

14 – Ratings – how high are you comfortable with going? Have you ever written higher? If you're comfortable with NC-17, have you ever been shocked by finding that the story you're writing is G-rated instead?
Shocked? Is "shocked" the word? It's more like "aahhhh fuckballs this is for SSBB, I gotta make the best of it". Anyway, in the majority of cases it's "graphic depictions of violence" behind my M-ratings on AO3 (which in my mind is roughly equivalent to "R-rated movie"), not to mention character death, drug use, explicit language, non-con, and underage. XD;; I have no actual block against writing NC17 sex scenes, it's just that I tend to produce plots in which they're structurally unnecessary. I have an immense appreciation for writers who can tell a fully-realized story, beginning, end, character development and all, within the context of a sexual encounter that isn't dodgy for some other reason, but that's not really my artistic focus. So to speak. orz
