Well, T and M are like the movie's PG-13 and R ratings. I'm not sure where you can really go between that....

Not on FF.net, I know you can't. I know in my Torchwood story, I can't go lower due to the subject matter.

Gremlins and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom- both from director Steven Spielberg- both helped bring about the creation of the PG-13 rating. Just the little bit of trivia I know about that mainly from being a fan of Indiana Jones. Anyone know the first PG-13 rated movie? :)

Do I just rate Ambulance Detectives M? :-\ It's not porn.

MacGyver

I don't think the M rating always has to necessarily mean porn. But if that's more where the story falls, then you should rate it as honestly as possible.

Oh yeah- the movie I was talking about is Red Dawn and it's a great movie! WOLVERINES!!! :) 8)

Then why is everything that I see there with that rating porn? ::) My Torchwood story isn't, but I rated it M for the subject matter.

MacGyver

I'm not sure. Perhaps it just seems that way from the stories that you've seen. By the way, when you say porn, I'm assuming you mean sexual content in general, up to and including slash?
Anyway, perhaps this will help- it seems there is a distinction in the ratings for mature audiences.
There's "M" - which is mature teens with non-explicit adult themes, and then there's "MA" for adults only, which may contain explicit language and adult themes.

Yes, that's what I mean. I did read that, too. There's slash in T rating too. And they don't do MA but it seems like fanfic authors do it anyway.

Right, I know I said Ambulance Detectives would be returning, but the truth is I've lost interest in it. :( It don't fit my writing style anymore now that I'm doing Torchwood and House, M.D. If anyone's up on House, I need someone to bounce ideas off with. If anyone is willing to help me, just send me a PM. 8)

It's hard to write a story and post it while you're not finished with it. Good luck though. And I hope you figured out the rating issue.
I'm not on here as much or I just come on for a few moments. So I trying to keep up with posts. Sorry for being MIA. I've been off on a mission with Frank and Joe! :)

I won't post it back up until I have it completed. The rating issue is so hard to figure out. I don't think it's high enough for M rating. :-\
