This is something I used to do back when I posted on MSN rather than LiveJournal. I thought it would be interesting to take the ratings we apply (in Australia, those being the ones I am familiar with) to film and television and apply them to the written material I consume.
It seemed an amusing and possibly enlightening exercise to undertake, one open to discussion if people care for it, and now I have decided to start it up again. Since I have been reading little non-webcomic fiction lately (which must change) and not rating those I have, we begin with a backlog of old ones, not all of which originally were posted.
Let it also be noted that these ratings signify only that this is what I think the story would be rated were it filmed as is and screened for the OFLC (Office of Film and Literature Classification), no more.
This post also marks the first appearance of the icon spontaneously edited into existence for me by the wonderful
soltice . Expect to be seeing a lot more of it.
