Dear RS Writer:

All Sa13+ rated fics will be moved out of the Restricted Section and integrated into Grimmauld Place. Please reply here with the genre your fic belongs to, and an RS mod will move it as soon as possible.

The genres are Character Stories, Comedy Stories, Epic/Adventure Stories, Romance Stories, Other Stories and Fandom Cross-over Stories.

The Restricted Section will now house only Sa16+ rated fics.

Sa16+ = Contains content suitable for mature teens and older; Not suitable for children or teens below the age of 16 with possible strong but non-explicit adult themes (depression, suicide, cutting, mild mention of alcohol or drugs) and references to violence (detailed description of unforgivables, and minor description of hexes such as Sectumsempra), but free of any coarse language. Hand-holding, romantic embraces, flirting, brief kisses on the cheek or the lips are okay, minor snogging sessions but no sexual touching or explicit bedroom scenes.

This means that while the Restricted Section will house more mature content, it is not a license to use profanity in any way, including substituting words or letters with asterisks. **** is still considered swearing and is still forbidden anywhere on Snitchseeker. (Good writers do not need to use profanity.) Always remember the Snitchseeker.com Rules. It is also not a license to include bedroom scenes or graphic violence.

If you are planning to change the rating of this thread to allow for Sa16+ content, please reply in this thread to say so, and an RS Mod will change the rating of this thread for you.

By the way, the URL for this thread will not change, no matter where it is located, so signature links will not need to be changed or anything if it's moved. If you have any questions about this change, please feel free to PM evlpez or post your question in the RS Q&A thread. Thanks very much, and happy writing!
