Even though this forum is a PG-13 forum, you may post legacies and other challenges here that are of a more mature nature; HOWEVER, there are some guidelines to follow.
RATINGS
E (Everyone): This means that your story is appropriate for all age groups. Don't rate your story this unless it is all rainbows and butterflies and happy endings.
T (Teen): This means that your story may not be appropriate for children under 13 years of age, but does not contain any content that is inappropriate for a 17 year old to read. Usually, stories that contain abuse and violence that are not graphically described but are addressed in the plot fall under this category.
T-M (Teen to Mature): This means that your story is generally suitable for a teenage age-group but may contain content of a more mature nature at times.
M (Mature): This means that your story is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18. Stories that contain graphic abuse or violence will fall under this category. Be very careful that you are not violating any above criteria when posting stories with this rating.
- Extremely graphic screenshots containing non-Barbie nudity on any gender or age group is not permitted. Please do not advertise your challenge here if it contains non-Barbie nudity. Barbie-like nudity is okay as long as you post a clear warning in your post.
- Anything depicting children, toddlers or babies in a sexual manner is strictly forbidden. No sexy clothes on these age groups and nothing involving sexual abuse of these age groups in screenshots. If your story contains a plot in which this disturbing issue is addressed and is treated in an appropriate heavy and respectful manner, you may post it here, but you MUST give a clear warning telling people that your story contains this.
- Please give an appropriate rating to your challenge. Challenges posted that do not have a rating posted directly in the post will be deleted. Please see the list below for how challenges should be rated.
- Please don't post your chapters directly into your posts. Link to an external source for that, but remember your ratings must be included directly in your post.
