Ratings
(or Our System of Checks)

       We want to keep in mind that we don’t all have the same tastes, likes, or beliefs.  With that said, we have a basic system we would like used for ratings/warnings on fics.

       First of all, if you’re sending a fic, please say so in the subject box of the email - all you have to do is put (fic) before whatever else you want to put in the subject box.  Same thing if your message is an off topic one - just put (OT) in the subject box.  At the bottom of this page, you'll find a list of notes to put in and/or watch for in the subject box of emails.  Please take note of them and their meanings - and please be sure to use them when sending email to AN.

       Once you’ve got that done, please note what type of content the other list members should expect to see.

       Please use these as guide lines and list them in the beginning or at the top of your email - before the actual fic:

       Spoilers - this is a very important issue!  Please, always note when your email contains any kind of spoilers for anything - whether a tv show, a comic, movie, game, etc.!!

       Lemon - characters having explicit sexual relations - any type of sexual activity.

       Lime - characters having almost sexual relations (example hot and heavy kissing, touching, feeling, anything that’s sexual with out being a lemon).

       Innuendo - suggestive content (usually conversations that border on being sexual).

       Violence - self explanatory - any type of violence from a fist fight to a battle.

       Disturbing content- this one covers a few areas - death, insanity, etc.

       Rape - we would prefer that there was no such content, but if you must, please make sure that it is really a necessary part of the storyline.

       Language - curse words, etc.

       Please also note which anime (or animes) that you’re writing about - don’t take it for granted that everyone is going to recognize the characters, etc.

       And if it doesn’t ruin your plot, please note which characters you’re pairing up (in romantic fics) - for example Keith/Allura or Darrien/Serena - again, this is because we all like different things.

       Please take note of, and use, these to help define what is in your email:

       (ADMIN) or [ADMIN] - please always read an email with this in the subject - the content of the email will be official notices from the list administrators (ie list moderators and/or list owners) this could be anything from news we get from Yahoo that we feel needs to be shared with everyone, changes to list policy or administration, public reminders and/or reprimands.  (Please rest assured that if an issue comes up {as in someone isn't following list policy, etc.} we will handle that privately, but in the case of a thread getting out of hand {or anything else like that} we will send an email to the entire list reminding everyone of list policy.)

       (FIC) or [FIC] - contents will be fan fiction, poetry, spoofs, etc.

       (ART) or [ART] - contents will be fan art related.  (Because we don't allow email attachments, please note where we can view the fan art {please include a web site address} or note that you've uploaded new fan art to the AN Yahoo groups site, or whatever the case may be.)

       (OT) or [OT] - this means the content of the email is Off Topic.  In this same area is:

          (OT-CE) or [OT-CE] - content will be Off Topic, and about Current Events.  This may include just about any kind of important news and/or happenings.  Please always consider the things you are going to send before you do - we don't all have the same backgrounds and/or beliefs and if you think that what you're sending could hurt/offend another list memeber, please reconsider sending it.  If you're still uncertain, please feel free to talk to one of the list moderators about it and find out what they think. :)  (Please be sure to take a look at the Content section to ensure that you remain within list guide lines.)

          (OT-ENT) or [OT-ENT] - content will be Off Topic, entertainment related.  This may include movies, games, tv shows, etc.  And, please, remember our previous comments on spoilers - always make note that the email contains spoilers if it does.  (Please be sure to take a look at the Content section to ensure that you remain within list guide lines.)

          (OT-PC) or [OT-PC] - content will be Off Topic, Personal Computer related issues.  (Please be sure to take a look at the Content section to ensure that you remain within list guide lines.)

          (OT-PS) or [OT-PS] - content will be Off Topic, and about Personal Stuff.  (Please be sure to take a look at the Content section to ensure that you remain within list guide lines.)
