Hello everyone. After talking to a moderator about my story notes and plans for the story, I have been informed that I do not need to use the Mature Tag for Operation Star Drop. The reason I had rated it M was due to the frequent combat scenes which wile planed on being appropriate for Fallout do not actually enter what the moderators consider to be Mature.
For the sake of helping others, if your story has something like:
Twilight ran as the shells rained around her. She ran without a destination in mind. Panic drove her.
Then, the world became noise, light, and pain. Twilight felt herself fly through the air then slam into the ground. She rolled, slid, and slammed into a rock. As she lay in the middle of the bombardment, she whimpered. There was a sharp burning pain in her left thigh, and nothing in her lower leg.
Twilight hesitated, and slowly opened her eyes. She felt nothing because her leg was gone. A bleeding stump covered in charred fur was all that remained of her leg.
Twilight screamed.
That is apparently Teen.
Mature would be... Well, turning that into:

Blood pulsed and oozed form the desiccated flesh of the stump. Ragged veins protruding past the break continued to spurt and twitch as her heart pushed her very life through the shredded veins and arteries.
She could feel the warmth leaking out of her leg, and the cold creeping in. The smell of hot blood and dripping marrow--
You get the idea. If you linger and describe gore in what I would call too much detail (after all it's effect is better if your imagination come sup with the exact details.), It's mature. If you simply have an injury or death occur and only convey what is needed to make that understood, it's Teen.
Sort of like how characters can say they had sex, talk about sex to a certain extent, and the story is Teen. But if they HAVE sex then it's Mature.
TLDR; my story will not be gory enough to require the Mature tag, so I have rerated it as Teen. I am sorry for the confusion. Hopefully this will allow more of you to enjoy the story :3
Maturity. Such a, vague, concept. One man's horror story is another man's job.
Excellent, that's very convenient.
And if your Disney, you only imply that the villain was killed and not even show a drop of blood, its G
5004462 Fun fact, there is a PG movie where an actual nazi blows about 16 holes in a dude's chest, bloodsplatter and all. Not even joking. Look up "Wizards".
