You know the ratings system for fanfics? Well, what excatly do each of the ratings mean? I dont want to put the wrong one on a piece of fanfic and cause offense. Any help would be much appreciated!

G (General) : The only requirement is that you have some familiarity with the fandom and/or characters.
PG (Above age 12 recommende) :
Material of some maturity, such as implied violence and occasional strong language. No sexual content beyond a kiss. Possible references to themes such as abuse.
PG-13 or 14 (Parental Guidance) : Material of a higher level of maturity, such as actual violence in scenes. Possible references to themes such as abuse. Still no sexual content beyond a kiss and/or indications of sexuality. Typically but not always more use of strong language. This rating is typically about the same level as most of the episodes of a show would contain.
R (Above age 17 recommended) : Material of still higher maturity, including violence, sexual relationships or implied sexual activity, and other adult themes such as rape or abuse. Sexual content up to summary of activity or touches, but never a full description.
NC-17 (Not for Children required) : Material of fully adult maturity, including violence and explicit love-scenes. Stories with this rating are kept on separate indexes and will always link to an Age Verification/Warning page. While most are short-stories specifically geared towards romance, some of them are action stories from which the love-scenes could not be extracted for "A" and "B" versions without disrupting the flow of the story.
Thanks loads for that! Not only do I now know what to rate my stories, but I also understand the ratings for other stories I read. Thank you!
