Rating On Stories

[roxy]

Should I be rating my stories? It's not something that occurs to me to do unless I'm doing a template thingy, andI just kind of assume that we're all old enough here...not pointing any fingers. *eyeballs you all sternly*

If you're not, well, I can't do anything about that.Plus, if you read my journal, than I'm also assuming that coarse language doesn't bother you, cause tcha-fuck, there's a lot of that going on here.(though strangely much less than in RL *goggle*)

You know, home from work, meandering through the brain cells.

I should rate them--yes! I shall! So those of you who know what you want can be forewarned.

Or sit down for a lovely big bowl of pop-porn.

I think your journal is your journal, rate it if you want to, but don't feel like you have to ~ if you feel like posts are sensitive, you can friends lock them. On the other hand, one can't make assumptions about who's adult and who's not, as I've just found out, to my bemusement. Someone on my friends list provided a link to someone else's post of very lovely gay men together, not hard core, not even a lot of nudity, just a lot of sweetness and kissing. i commented on the post, she friended me, i friended her back, then read her profile and discovered she's 16. Um... unless she's an FBI agent posing as a young girl in a sting to catch kid porn sickies. so I'm a little paranoid now. wondering what's my responsibility here ~ should i de-friend her to keep my porny writing out of her little hands? obviously she was corrupted already, and she is very mature, in some ways, for her age, though not in others. I'm just rambling, not really expecting an answer, but you do happen to be the mother of a teenage girl, so i would be interested in your take on this. :)

And it's only fair to share the aforementioned link:

you are my heeeero! What fantastic pix! Oh, purely from an artistic viewpoint of course, and so good for um..research, the male figure, yes. That's my story and I'm sticking with it!

I have had that experience, and it' very strange to find that someone who's stuff you've been reading, or manips you've been enjoying is a babe in arms. I 've thought pretty hard about that, (even though this post wasn't really about that--I was thinking of rating more as a courtesy, then censorship--there may be folks who don't want to read sex stuff ,though (ha!) what they wuld be doing here I don't know...)

My feeling is I'm not their mommy, there's nothing I can do about having someone read my journal who maybe shouldn't, I don't like the idea of locking it,so I won't and being such an itty bitty fish in an enormous pond means I don't have to worry about attracting unwelcome attention or someone's ire.
If you feel really strongly about it, de-friend but I don't think that I would.

Think of all the valuable lessons we can teach the young ones.Anyway, I'll *try* and think of something and post it, like a moral to the story. Or that wheel of morality thing that the Animaniacs had. (Which highlights the reason why I may not the one to ask about deep questions of the responsibility and moral obligations we might have towards other people's children.)

In my head i tend to agree with you about other people's children (damn breeders) and frequently regret that we don't actually have a predator species like vampires thinning out the herd. and then there's the mushy bit in my rib cage that thinks any baby thing is oooh, cute! even the snarly, snaggley tooth baby possum under the house, even baby scorpions, the way they all hitch a ride on their mama's back, even humans, sometimes. I suppose it's because I never spawned, myself. Lo! i am a barren woman! alright, enough of that... :)

I am of the opinion that we don't have to put ratings on stuff unless we are putting it somewhere besides our own journals. If it's cut-tagged then don't look at it somewhere you don't wasnt to be caught looking at dirty, pornographic things. Not that that's all we write, but damnit, I don't wanna!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

You write what you need to honey-bunny.*pats you*

And yeah, I think that makes sense, not having to rate inside our own journals.The cut tag is there, I didn't think about that. I think I'm too worried about offending folks sometime. Which is why I edit myself a lot, up in here.
In real life I spit in a spittoon, scratch my pits and fart with abandon, curse like a sailor and kick cats and kids.But only on Saturdays. During the week, I knit phallus cozies for retired sailors.(i don't know where this stuff comes from myself))

HeeHee! dovil suggested there should be a group called grosschicks for posting fics like the one she wrote where um... Xander farts on spike's fingers (sneaks look over shoulders to make sure george is out of sight)

Wow you think we're old? Why I'm sure some of these girls are barely out of diapers... *Liz eyes all the old crows... oooooo or maybe not*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Not you, babyliz! *Hands you pacifier* I refuse to change your diapies, though.

And I refuse to change your depends! Ha! take that old evil one.
