14 – Ratings – how high are you comfortable with going? Have you ever written higher? If you're comfortable with NC-17, have you ever been shocked by finding that the story you're writing is G-rated instead?
Absolutely no problem with NC17. If anything, I occasionally have problems going down to G (though not always because of sex, it's often because of language or violence). While I've never been surprised at getting a lower rating, I have noted on more than one occasion that it takes me a while to get to the higher one. But that's because I really suck at PWP and jumping into unmotivated sex, not because of the rating itself.
What I do find interesting is that my ratings for Merlin are lower across the board than they were for Buffy. But I think that's probably because of how much more sex I've written now than when I was writing Buffy. Sometimes, it just gets boring to do, and I want to do something plotting/talky/sweet/anything else, lol.
