Just how far can you push an R-rating?

icarusWe're about to find out.
I ran my NC-17 version of the Midnight chapter of 'Primer to the Dark Arts' past isiscolo (thank you!) to see if maybe the R-version was better. Ha. Like less sex is ever better. Isis said the NC-17 was better, for more than just the yummy sex.. it had character development. So I threw the NC-17 to CLS. CLS previously said, no, she thought the R-version was subtle, just what was needed.
Then she read the NC-17.
"Let me at it," she said. "I can make this an R rating."
I believed her. She got 'The Book of Eros' past the censors, erections, blow jobs and all. I'm still amazed.
I got it back, and blinked at how little she changed. The Beta-Wizard did it again.
And she says, rather amused (since she's a mod at www.fictionalley.org) "I wonder what people are going to say..."
We'll know soon if it's too hot for prime time. I submitted it today.
Unbelievably, I actually have a plot bunny for Draco begging Ron for sexual pleasure. And Lucius is the minister of magic. Do I dare write this?

Re: Leaping into your LJ in desperation

New email: icarus_ancalion@yahoo.com
Thanks! If I get my piece finished this week, will it make the deadline?

Re: Leaping into your LJ in desperation
Date: 2003-02-25 05:38 am (UTC)Just replied to you at your new addy. Thanks for that.
(I didn't get the boozefest email. Maybe you sent it to the update list instead? Or maybe Yahoo's playing funny buggers again. Probably).
Yes, looking forward to the rest of the fic. Join the mailing list for details on how to submit it. :-)
