Hey there!
I was just wondering if we are allowed to use slang and swearwords in our writing pieces. Sometimes the use of those words express the main points of the plot and/or the characters much better. I think that there's nothing wrong with using few of those words as we have to be all independent in our writing...

If we are not allowed to use slang words, can we instead apply "censorship" to a word by using things like &,*,%,$,# ???

Anything goes in your writing, so long as you rate it properly. :) Just be sure to keep the title and description clean.

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
