I was just thinking about the idea of making a graphical vagina for a rating and it made me laugh A LOT.
This is a good point because we should figure out how to rate things and recommend them. Opinions are welcome.

I give it ({}) ({}) ({}) out of ({}) ({}) ({}) ({}) ({})!

[Neko]

@Shannon - Lol! I added a little bit more but i like yours better. ({°})

Could use an image n based it off something like- http://www.jlist.com/product/OMO345 (NSFW)

MY EYYYYYYYES

[Neko]

Hahahaha!! The worst ones I think are based on anime teens/women *shivers* Anyways, there are soda cans ones as well..But anyhoos that site has all sorts of things that make you go...wtf..and possibly could help inspire a graphical rating logo as such.

JBOX is the PG version of the site ;D

We could go a bit more oblique and just use a V -- then it could represent both the name of the group/part of a woman's anatomy, as well as the position of said anatomy (ladies, look down).

Or maybe I'm just weird. :)

[Felicia, Grand Duchess]

That's true Michele! I like that idea!

[Necrophidian]

I was going to suggest V as well, so I'll throw my support behind that suggestion.

I'm sure that'll make all the difference. *cough*

Also, for the record, I'm fond of 'vajayjay'.

Also, if anyone's actually keeping records, some of us are in a heap of trouble.

[Jamie]

Am I the only one who when they see V either thinks a) V For Vendetta (which would be fitting because the people who don't own one sometimes think they are dangerous and powerful); or b) V: The Visitors (again fitting, because the people who don't own one often think of them as alien creatures)?

[Christal]

Ever since I saw that epic (epically bad?) Summer's Eve commercial, all I can think of when I see V is their "Hail to the V" slogan. Fitting, I suppose lol.

[Neko]

Yeah V for Vendetta does instantly cross my mind as well.

[Zetabodhi]

I *love* the idea of giving a book a certain number of vaginas out so many. Best grading system ever. I just need to make sure not to accidentally slip-up and start using the vagina scale next time I'm grading Intro Psych papers!

I hate the word vulva it reminds me of an invading alien races or a car. :P

[Marissa]

Also, rating in different categories would be better than an over all rating. Some books have low smut content but are otherwise excellent VagFan books

I know, right? Although the sheer volume of potential puns for the race car analogy is almost too deliciously horrible..."

LOL!! So true!

Then perhaps you could have two ratings like:

Overal: (insert rating here)
Smut: (insert rating here)

Type of thing? Otherwise the rating system might get abit over the top?

[Michele]

Let's just rate them by how unlaced the corsets get...

;)

Awesome idea! you can't confuse that with the movie of show V. maybe something like 3 out of 5 unlaced corsets, 8 out of 10 rippling/oiled abs or 6 out of 10 embarrassing covers. We could get the most rediculos looking covers and have that as our rating scale.

ah yes, mcmullet! another suitable cover is the painting of codex/kiltman (i'm terrible with names)

link please!

[Kieraembers]

thank you!

What's wrong with rating in plain old fashioned O's . . . since Vs can have multiple Os . . . and more = better, am I right? . . . just a thought. ;)

[Neko]

Pfff..O's naw..That seems tacky...I'd rather V over O..But I'd moreso perfer a icon of somesort rather than a letter in general ;p

[Michele]

The V-shaped book would be good a good icon, if it scaled well. We'd get the symbology, certainly. :)

[Ā•lyn]

In lieu of the "star" system... What about a "peach" system? It's been used to refers to a woman's bits and pieces in a nice way. Plus, peaches can be oh so juicy (the fruit... perverts!) and what better way to rate a book than on how juicy the steamy scenes, dialogue, world, plot, etc. are?

[Neko]

Haha I like that..And you could add in a splat of cream for when there is lots of sexy time!

[Ā•lyn]

Ahahaha... Nice! Okay now I'm the pervert! Just visualized what that could look like... A nice splat of cream... I just laughed so hard I almost pee'd myself!!!

[Neko]

*Ahem* Now I wasn't really being too dirty when I mentioned the cream but since now my mind has gone to the gutter...ahahahaha!!

[MAJK]

hmmm peaches and cream .... on a serious note I too like the idea Michele had about The V-shaped book icon
