Day 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

That boneheaded reaction of Thunderwolf's is still high on my list as one of the most face-palm moments I've had in fandom.

Yeah, but there's always that general attitude when people read fics, like how much of the author are we seeing. I know I'm guilty of doing some of that to others (mostly the really bad ones) and am conscious of where my personality overlaps with my characters. Given how opposite my NC-17s are to me (the second more than the first) I don't think I want people looking at me that way.

Sort of.

I get what you're saying. Sometimes it's obvious the author is writing up personal stuff or fantasies to the point where you kind of want a shower after reading it and it feels awkward. Usually when it involves an obvious Mary Sue getting it on with the author's favorite character. It's like... no... didn't need to read your detailed fantasy of that, author.
