Of course. The protagonist of the story does swear in dialogue, but that's her character. Yours Truly, the author, rarely swears online and seldom swears offline.

And further clarification: Later on in the story there is a sex scene...it's not graphic but it does reach the level of, say, what you'd find in a Harlequin romance novel. There's also a reference someone makes to fellatio...and a scene where someone threatens to cut off someone else's ear. For those reasons, I decided it was better to be safe than sorry.

But now that my first chapters are live, reviews are always appreciated!

Well, theoretically, the events that happen during the story should reflect the FEEL of the story. IF it has any kinky stuff, I'd assume the story would be alot more darker than say... Harry potter which would be Paperdemon side- even in the later books. Dark doesn't mean its mature, but if the book is going to describe sex, then it's likely to have content all through the story to appeal to people that WOULD read about it, so yes- Red Curtian for that ^^ Only cause that kind of thing SHOULD be aimed at a mature market only. Not 13-18 year olds :yes:

Don't get me wrong, it's not pornographic, but it is the story of a young lady who sells out, makes a sort of Faustian bargain for fame and fortune, decides to work with a supervillain, finds out that he isn't a nice guy and isn't what she thought he was, and quickly finds things spiraling out of control...
