Date: 2012-08-12 12:48 pm (UTC)As for the language skills, I'm moderately good at English for a non-native speaker (we won't discuss my highly creative grammer right now, no, preciousss!), but I catch myself time and again by not fully understanding things when I read them. I mean, I understand the individual words, but the actual meaning sometimes eludes me. It's very annoying, but, well, it's only my third language, and I only had regular lessons for a short time.
Re: rating. I'm a school teacher, with a great deal of sometimes exasperating experience with today's youth, so let me assure you that the teenagers I know wouldn't even blink at the sexual context of your stories. Besides, sex is a natural thing. Like eating, or other body funcitons - not that one would necessarily want to read about some, eh? *g*
What's wrong with the adult stories is the stupid, mechanical description of the act and the complete irrationality of it, too many times. Young, inexperienced readers are fed with expectations they would rarely find in real life - and that's what I find harmful. Other wise I more often than not laugh my head off over the exaggerations.
Which is why I usually prefer to read friendship stories in this fandom... present company excluded, of course. True friendship is so much harder to come by than sexual attraction.
