Hello! I'm still getting the hang of the new site so I'm not sure about guidelines regarding swearing in creative pieces. I have a short story I'd like to post but there are a few swear words in there. Do I need to put a disclaimer in the title?

We don't censor literary works, but we do ask that they be rated appropriately. Once you've published a piece, you'll see an options window where you can set the rating. Also no swearing in the title/description.

A more specific note about language: any use of the "f" word merits an 18+ rating.

Also want to add that if you aren't sure if you should put a rating on your work or not (as in, if you aren't sure if a curse word is "18+" worthy), feel free to PM myself or another moderator. A second opinion always helps. :)
