argentum_ls14 – 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?
I tend to default to stories in the PG or PG-13 range, as differentiated only by the amount of swearing my characters may do, though I have written everything (I think). That said, I am really uncomfortable writing R-rated or higher stories. I've taken on the task because I believe it's important for writers to venture outside of their comfort zones and because I wanted to try to learn how to write something different than what I know. For all that I don't think my efforts at adult ratings are the best stories I've ever written, they are my best efforts, so they'll remain out there.
