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.
