Questions for our new Mod

Hey Paris,

I had a few questions for you, these are things i've asked Zs about in the past, but i'd like to get your take on these two things

1. Ratings. 'Angel of Death' will get very 'R' (i think) rated, very quickly once i get back behind a PC i can write from. Besides mentioning it in the thread title, are you okay with R rated fics

2. Crossovers? yes, no, only under certain circumstances?

I can't imagine either being a problem, but i feel like i should ask before assuming

I hope paris doesn't mind me jumping in here for the first point *runs to a safe distance just in case* In the board rules under the fanfiction forum it says:

quote:
In these two forums (Fanfiction and Filk) you may post your own creations based on the Andromeda universe. Please note that while you may post R-rated material, you should indicate so in the thread subject. Also, if you actively post in this forum please re-read the section on "Intellectual Property" above - it is very important that you not post other people's work in these forums.

(emphasis mine )

*takes this opportunity to run away*

your welcome to jump in any time (((ZS))) as i bow to your eternal wisdom... what zs said is correct.

"r" rated is fine as long as you state that it is 'r' in the thread title.

here are some of the rules about ratings ...

quote:
Regarding sexual content: anything more than kissing, holding, back rubs, and attraction is R or above. Anything describing in detail any sexual act, even with clever metaphors, is NC-17.

Any violent act that includes vivid description of intense pain, mutilation, blood, torture, or the like is R. Extremely violent and twisted acts described in great detail might, in some instances, count as NC-17.

Plots including rape, describing a murder in detail, child abuse, terrorism, adultery, et al. would be considered at least R as well.

The line between most of the ratings is the amount of detail given:

=B7 For example, in a PG-13 story, most make-out scenes have the characters kissing and then cut to "FADE TO BLACK" to avoid using detail.

=B7 R would describe the lead-up and emotions, but not the mechanics of the act.

=B7 NC-17 would describe the act in more detail.

R is generally 17 and up, as is NC-17.


Crossover's are fine if you mean like say mutant x and andromeda as long as there is some andromeda content

if you have any questions on the ratings of a story before you post it feel free to e-mail me at parisindy@yahoo.com and we can discuss it

hope that helps

[shameless plug] Sure; crossovers pop up here all the time. Just look up "Andromeda: Final Conflict" for one of mine. [/shameless plug]

Just to add one more thing for Parisindy (hope Paris doesn't mind! ) When you write cross-overs, it's often a good idea to have disclaimers for both Andromeda and the other show. (they're often from two different networks)

If he can plug his crossovers, so can I. Check out 'Harper's Excellent Adventure' and it's sequel 'Harper's Non-Bogus Journey.' Also my cartoon crossover 'Andromeda Pussycats.'
