If you've read the COMMUNITY RULES and you still have a question, please post it here.

I'll draw up a FAQ if it becomes necessary.

When you let me write my dictionary on your breasts, you'll understand.

What are your rules for profanity?

[foxfinial]

In general, I'm not opposed to it -- though you should probably put a warning if your work contains a significant amount.

I think I'd only get annoyed by abundant use of racist/sexist/etc profanity in a work that shows no hint of the author's knowledge that these are bad things to say. Obviously this is more of a personal issue, and a story that discusses these themes intelligently might still include the offensive language; I think it'd have to be quite extreme before I spoke to the author about it. (Or if the author said it's a-okay to use such-and-such a racist/sexist/etc phrase, but that's a quite different matter.)

I hope this is not too vague. =/ I'll try to refine it if profanity ever becomes an issue, but hopefully a warning from the author will prevent readers from being surprised.

That helps thanks.

I had a short story I was considering posting that has a lot of swearing.
