Okay, there are a few different ratings your story can get. If it is above a G, you are required to rate it either in the topic title, the topic description, or the first part of your post.

Here is an explanation of the various ratings:

G= Safe for all ages, no swearing, violence, or sex.
PG= Some non-graphic, mild-ish violence. Dark.
PG-13= Any two combinations of violence, swearing, or sex.
R= Violence, swearing, and sex.

Anything above R is not allowed. (that means no graphic sex scenes or graphic violence)

If you do not add a rating, the story will be assumed to be rated G.
