Back from hiatus! And also from St. Louis!
Hiatus was mostly due to loads of work and essays, but the St. Louis trip rounded it up. I visited the Washington University School of Law (where I'll be going this fall, oh baby, my new home) and also![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

fanficrants, which made me think of my own mini-post on it a few days back.
I've realized that fandom has corrupted me deeply and desensitized me to a lot of filthier things. How did I realize that? Because I was trying to rate my fics and I realized I tend to consider heavy petting barely PG-13 and rarely R; my ideas of what constitutes "explicit" are....slightly skewed. I considered the blowjob description in Truth Where You Least Expect It deserving of only a PG-13 the first time around, because I'd only used the word "erection" once and nothing was really dwelt on, other than some kissing and some hands on thighs. Yeah, um, then I read some other PG-13 fics and was like, whoops, this rates an R, doesn't it?
It works the same way between PG and PG-13. I don't think to warn for curse words or even suggestive language; only when the language crosses some imaginary line of filth in my mind do I think about rating it PG-13. A grope or two, clothed, doesn't rate a PG-13 in my mind. My morality and chastity standards are evidently defunct, hah.
Possibly this is why I'm having such a hard time rating my Kyufic. I think it rates an R, maybe a hard R, but I wouldn't go quite as far as labeling it NC-17. I don't think it's that explicit: there are no lengthy descriptions of sex (or not so I perceive), even though there is a pretty high occurence of sex (in the number of non-explicit mentions). I think the parts of fandom that have really affected my perspective this way is the explicit BL manga and the kinky, hardcore HP fics. Everything else just seems tame in comparison. But I think SuJu's range for NC-17 starts a lot lower than in HP fandom. Possibly. I don't think I've read that many NC-17 fics in SuJu to begin with, so there's not much to judge. No one writes them!
I also have thoughts on RPF/RPS. Does anyone care?
Aaaaand this is Mei totally doing homework. Failing out of college a month before graduation would be a bad idea. I'm pretty sure WashU Law would rescind its offer if I did...
