That works well. If you haven't already done it, put the checks in probability order.

Note that what you wrote is exactly equivalent to this switch_if. I used the assignment to avoid writing the string twice. It isn't needed as the last test shows.

program:
## list_remove_duplicates probably isn't necessary
	list = list_remove_duplicates($#fanficrating, ',');

	switch_if(
		(a = 'Explicit') inlist list, a,
		(a = 'Mature Audiences') inlist list, a,
		(a = "Teen and Up Audiences") inlist list, a,
		(a = "General Audiences") inlist list, a,
		"Not Rated" inlist list, "Not Rated",
		''
	)
