The apocrypha Ratings System Page



Ratings, in and of themselves, are not meant to be a form of censorship. We'll take anything. And we do mean anything. So read your ratings first: we've set them up as icons, to indicate the content of a particular piece. When you see these icons you'll know what the story contains without us ever giving anything away. We decided to use icons to indicate content, rather than a system like the movies (PG, R, NC-17) because some people are offended by sex. Some by violence. And some are bothered by neither. What's NC-17 to me may be barely PG to you. So here it is, the iconic ratings system for apocrypha:




Ratings


Sexual Content
 This story will contain a scene or scenes in which graphic sexual material is displayed.

Romance
