I am trying to assemble a bunch of Descensus pieces to submit for a fanfiction reading at Terminus. I'm definitely including the Halloween piece with Lily, and I think I want to include that weird, moody Severus/Narcissa thing (http://community.livejournal.com/descensus_hp/15672.html) - but is that safely rated R (pieces can be R, but not NC-17)? I think it's okay, but I am not sure.

I think the difference between R and NC-17 is roughly equivalent to the difference between movies with graphic sex and porn. One is part of a much broader story and (theoretically) should be important to the telling of that story; the other doesn't actually have a story to speak of outside the sex. Obviously some NC-17 stuff is more themeful and character driven than your average porn flick, and then things get really complicated.
