no over the top gore (People getting cut to little bits, ect); try and minimize the ammount of sexual themes you use...

These are the two that I may have some trouble with...xD I think I'll end up pushing the envelope on gore, but what exactly is your definition of "sexual themes?" The way I write, it's not like porn-just disturbing relationships.



Uuuh, how to explain this.... pretty much, don't post straight out sex scenes, don't go into the whole describing someone how they look nude (In detail, saying something like 'Her skin was coated in a glow, like from heaven itself as she shead her clothes is fine), saying what's... down there, isn't so much rolleyes Also, PM me something to do with one of your 'relationships', and I'll tell ya if it's too far or, if it's ok.

Haha well, no worries about me. I tend to be too shy to post up my stuff online that follows those. I also tend to include both at the same time... odd I know... so I didn't think it appropriate anyways.

Well that is not a problem from me, I don't really post that on Gaia.

Question! Guy gets cut in half with a chainsaw and blood flies everywhere. Would it be okay to describe it first and then kinda gloss over it? For example:

Logan brought the revving saw down on the creature, looking into its eyes and knowing that it feared death. The saw whined in protest, but cut through the skin and bone like tissue paper. The creature's blood gushed outward, splattering Logan in a hellish cocktail of blood and ichor. Once the chainsaw had done its job, the creature dropped, an unrecognizable mess of blood and guts.

Then, later on, do things more like this:

Logan danced through the monstrous crowd, his chainsaw singing a bittersweet symphony of death and destruction.

Is this acceptable?
