So I’ve read the publishing terms and the terms of service, and I want to clarify something. I’ve got my first chapter done for my project for the current Nerdist contest, and it includes some first person narration. This narrator uses profanity on occasion. I’ve also got characters who are hedonistic freaks. How far can I take descriptions and dialog/narration without going too far? Do I have to drop asterisks into curses? I’m not trying to write space porn, but I don’t want to needlessly censor my character’s voice, either. Hoping to sort this out before I upload anything and get unpleasant feedback.
I’ve looked through the forum, but did not find this topic addressed. My apologies if I missed something that clarified this issue already.
I’m pretty sure there is no official stance on this. It’d be entirely up to your discretion what you want to do there. I’ve read some pretty adult stuff that’s been published through Inkshares, as well as some on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. I don’t think anyone’s going to force you to change the voice of your storytelling here.
