The movie-type ratings system is what we've always used, and changing it now would be more trouble than it's worth. It's a consistency thing, really, which is why we also discourage the K/K+/T/M system that fanfiction.net uses.

As for Bardouche vs. Bardouchet, I believe "Bardouche" would be pronounced "bar-DOOSH" under French rules of pronunciation. (Obviously, I'm assuming that Gwen's surname is supposed to be French, since that's how it looks and that's how the pronunciation you want sounds.) For whatever reason, French pronunciation rules tend to suppress the last letter of a name.
