citrus scale

One of the ways to rate fanfictions. The citrus scale goes: orange, lime, lemon, and grapefruit. Though some people add other fruit in, it is mainly just those four. Orange: Sort of the equivalent of PG-13. Doesn't really get beyond kissing Lime: less explicit than a lemon, but still has sexual content. Characters do not have sex in a lime, but it is pretty close. Lemon: Probably the one you will hear of the most. The characters in a lemon have s-e-x Grapefruit: This one has two definitions. One is a really weird lemon or lime. The other is non-consensual sex. The second definition can be written as g-rape-fruit sometimes.
