If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

In lieu of the increasingly available option to set "access controls" for fics not suitable for all audiences, I wonder how you rate multi-chapter fics.

I know that when people click on a fic rated NC-17 and find no content they consider "for mature audience", they tend to be annoyed (or even angry) about the false rating - often independent of whether or not they liked the fic in question - but what is considered mature depends a lot on the cultural background. For example: the US rates a lot more restrictive on sex and drugs than on (bloody) violence, whereas in Germany it's exactly the other way round. How do you rate your fics in that regard?

And what to do about multi-chapter fics? Not all chapters contain NC-17 material, some are just R or even PG, but such a chapter is merely a part of the whole story, which won't work without the mature parts. Do you rate chapters be rated strictly by what's in them - thus granting younger readers access to story parts, all the while knowing that they can't read the whole thing - or do you rate the story as a whole like I do?

How do you do it? :)

Which books that left a lasting impression on you did you read - or reread - over the last three months?

To clarify things: only books that you read voluntarily and completely count. That means, if you tackled Emily Brontë for school, it does not count (probably with the exception that you are a rabid fan of hers and are absolutely in love with her prose ever since). If you have to go to your book pile and look up title and summary to list the book, it does not count.

( my count: 9 )

Ganked from solo: the unread book meme
What we have here is the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing's users. As in, they sit on the shelf to make you look smart or well-rounded. Bold the ones you've read, underline the ones you read for school, italicise the ones you started but didn't finish.

Taken from Elbales:

"The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed."
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Strike through what you consider a complete waste of paper & time.
5) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them ;-)

( 28/100 and five intentions )

Sadly German classics are underrepresented. The quota would be better then. :)

1. Leave me a casual comment of no particular significance, like a lyric to your current favorite song, your favorite kind of sandwich, or maybe your favorite game. Any remark, meaningless or not.
2. I will respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. Update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. Include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in your own post.
5. When others respond with a desultory comment, you will ask them five questions.

sakanagi tempted me to comment, so ( here are my answers... )

Fannish 5, taken from k_julia and solo: What five character deaths affected you the most?

Problem with this: I tend not to get affected by CDs and I become seriously annoyed if I have the feeling that not killing the character would have done the plot-at-hand more good than killing him did, hence a list of these would be rather short. On the other hand, Death as a character can be a very fascinating, multi-facetted topic if done right. Hence, my list includes examples of both.
