I just got a review for the recently posted chapter of Walls of Jericho. I think it was negative review, but I'm not sure. It didn't mention my writing, good or bad. Nothing about the plot being cliched or anything.
Simply - "This chapter is not NC17."
Does that mean that even though I plan to take the story into very smut filled waters (Come on, what's the point of writing about the horribly cliched lab accident that tethers two people together if there isn't going to be nekkidness?) I should be rating the early chapters - with no sex - as G? Or even PG when someone says a naughty word?
I would think that if I was happily reading a fic rated PG and then suddenly discovered that an integral chapter mid-way through the story had *Gasp and ohnoes* wanking and cunnilingus, especially if that was something that offended me (and I am totally not offended by that, FYI), wouldn't that be worse than being forced to read OMG-Is-this-plot? crap?
It's not like the story is in the PWP category. I very deliberatly did not put it there because I wanted to at least make an effort to tell a story that contained sex, not write smut for the sake of smut.
So, am I just very confused?
