A-ha! So in this realm, it's more to do with content and ratio of sex acts to plot than how explicit the sex is. That makes sense, and it's just different than how I rate my own stories. Fascinating that there are different interpretations.

Arwen's POV? Hmmmmm. Could be interesting! There are precious few women whose heads I've tried to get into in the Ardaverse: Éowyn, of course, but also Erendis, my OFC Fréalas, Morwen of Lossarnach, and Narvi, as a female Dwarf. ;) I'd be interested to see what you wrote! I also need to go back over to the new offerings and read jaiden_s's story since I know her; I'm also going to find more stories by Ennorwen. She wrote for me, and I was literally in tears at the end, both due to content, the wordcraft, and that she'd picked a character I figured nobody would bother to research. I was spoiled rotten!!
