Rated T or M Confusion.


Dear Readers,

I have been having a lot of comments and questions regarding the Rating being only Rated T. Considering that it is partially a Fifty Shades of Grey fanfiction, yes, it has to be Rated M, and yes, it has to contain kinky, sexual scenes. But that is a huge contemplation on my part.

Reading over the rules of the fanfiction site, I have been enlightened with the truth. 

Fiction Ratings from FanFiction.net
And the truth is, those contents are not allowed in the site. Yes, some writers have gotten away with it, but Rated MA stories are not allowed. Therefore, if my story contains such scenes and contents, it could be banned from the site.

Rule of Fanfiction.net regarding Rated MA contents

That is why I have muffled up a solution. So, yeah, fanfiction doesn’t allow such theme, but my blog does. I have gone over the rules of Blogger and it allows adult content, including images or videos that contain nudity or sexual activities. 

Blogger's Content Policy

Therefore, I have decided to stick with the rules. As usual, I will be posting the original story on my fanfiction account. I might change it up to Rated M — if necessary — but as much as possible, I will try not to because I would love to encourage the younger generation to read over my story without the articulate, sexual content.
            
However, I will try not to disappoint my adult readers by encouraging them to go to my blog and read the actual in-between-the-story happenings. I will be placing it under Project Reader’s Special because I am doing this solely to satisfy my dear readers. However, I am still contemplating about placing it under Lost Chapters or not. I don’t want to overwhelm the minors if they stumble upon it.

Tell me what you think about this. It’s the only solution I can think of. I will try to make the story whole even without having to read the sex scenes for the enjoyment of the minors, but I will make the mature content worth the read and heavy like Fifty Shades of Grey. But expect it not to be as dirty because it is still about the vampires and shit.
