Question for the Ratings Panel Posted by ithilwen2001 May 31, 2009 - 0:58:24 Topic ID# 9970

I've run across a story I'd like to nominate, but its author has given it an NC-17 rating for violence. It is a (justifiably) violent story, and I'm not quite sure whether under the MEFA rules it would be classified as Mature or Adult. Obviously I don't want to nominate the fic if its going to be ruled ineligible, as that could embarrass the author. Can I get the Ratings panel to take a look at it and let me know one way or another? Thanks!

Hi Ithilwen,

That should be fine. Just send me an email with a link to the story,
and a description of the problem - which parts you want looked at,
what your concern is, what's going on before and where the story is
leading, that kind of thing. Send the email to
mefasupportATmefawardsDOTnet, and I will have our ratings panel look
at the situation. Whatever they decide, I'll pass that decision on to
you so you can be sure that it is eligible before you nominate it.

This probably isn't an issue because we still have a month, but the
normal deadlines will still apply - you'll have to actually nominate
the fic by June 30, and the author will have to complete the
nomination process by July 7.

Thanks,

Marta
