AGE RATINGS UPSET
I have just read 'Shards of Glass' by the_deacon and I have to say - a 'U' rating??? Please can ABCtalers think about protecting children - this is a shocking piece!
Was not on a high horse - was just worried about children being able to read this as, to my mind, this is much much worse then mentioning hairy gay men -(reference to a previous ratings discussion).
hm, decapitated heads was pretty standard fodder in my primary school creative writing classes. how long ago was it that you two were at school?
A bloody long time ago.
Can't speak for Jennifer, of course.
Re the 'high horse' thing. I know you weren't Jen, hence my subsequent comments.
I know - I was sillying.
I'm nineteen and I never read anything like that at school!
I have the opposite problem with my story "First Time" that is rated 15. I can't see why other then the homosexual conitations or sexual innuedo but there is nothing within it worse then anything Mae West might have said in a more humourous tone.
Gawd, I was about to tell Jennifer to get off her high horse, but it IS pretty gruesome...
Got plenty of exposure now though, hasn't it?
