Entry tags:
Rating and Category tags
Rating tags
These aren't G-NC17 like the US movie ratings, but closer to what we see on AO3, as well as an "unrated" tag for those who prefer not to rate their fics.
"All" is something that's acceptable for anyone to read.
"Teen" would be rated PG or PG13, or "teen" on AO3.
"Adult" would be rated R or NC17, or "mature" or "explicit" on AO3.
"Unrated" is just that, and anything without a rating in the header will be tagged with this. It does not mean the person needs to rate their fic.
"Rating: help!" will also be there for those who'd like to rate their fic, and are uncertain what to use - and it will allow me to take a look and see if I can't figure out a rating. Because fics left untagged for rating, without a rating in the header, will be marked as "unrated".
Category tags
These are simply to allow someone to find specific sorts of fic. Het, slash, gen, mixed, with mixed meaning that it could be both het and slash. Anything where there's no identification in the header of what it is will be marked "category: unknown", and while I'd appreciate people making it easier for me to tag for this, I'm not going to force the issue.
I hope they're otherwise self-explanatory, and if someone doesn't care to categorize their fic in this manner, I'm more than willing to let "category: unknown" stand when self-tagged as such.
Neither of the above new tags mean that I insist you rate or categorize your story. That's why "unrated" and "category unknown" will exist. They're to allow for those stories which are difficult to fit into the system or those authors who do not wish to use this system.
If you have a problem with the tag I put on there while tagging for rating or category, PM me, or email me at morgynleri@gmail.com, and I'll do what I can to resolve the issue.
