I put up a slightly altered MPAA suggested guidelines on an archives, because most people are pretty clueless about it. And in fanfiction, where people have verrrrry specific interests and delineations in what they want to read, I can see the value. When it comes to original fiction, I think there's more leeway.
And yeah about the limits for kids. This is why my parents had me read first, before I could see the movie. If I couldn't make it through the book, I couldn't make it through the movie--at least I guess that was their reasoning. Then I read Shogun (in fourth grade) and that kinda blew that theory. Heh.
