I'll just say this now...

Please folks, no over the top gore (People getting cut to little bits, ect), no sexual scenes (As in, no PORN, and try and minimize the ammount of sexual themes you use... which pretty much means I can't post anything xd ))

Ok, the gore bit is easy, as for the sexual theme bit...

Reaper groaned, sitting down and rubbing his neck, the battle catching up with him. "Damn..."
"Jaaack!" Louise giggled, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. "I know something that'll make you feel better." She pulled him up, taking his hand and smiling.
"Oh really now?" He smirked. "You always do know how to make me feel better." Louise giggled, leaning up and kissing him, before pulling him towards the bedroom


THAT should be fine, but if Stelle wants to change it, then it gets changed. No exceptions!

Nope, that sounds fine to me. It's not breaking any of the Gaia ToS, so it's okay.

Good for you, I have a habit of going a little bit too much in detail... sweatdrop

biggrin No problem there. I haven't attempted erotica in quite some time, but I'm not a lot of good at it, at any rate. I may have to keep a slight eye on the gore, though. I generally don't use it very much, because too much of it dilutes its effect, anyway. Only one of my characters yet has met a particularly fragmented end, shall we say, but he deserved it. Faeries. I'm not sure how they managed to muscle their way in there, but...faeries. Not the pink girly kind, either. Anyway. Not that the ToS care, but that one's getting tweaked for the professional market, anyway. ninja

Sorry for the lapse. The holidays get too weird, too stressy, and I'm about this close to actual Theobaldian Hibernation, the way the weather's been around here. The only things I lack for that are the canned goods and a job held by correspondence.

Well since my books are mainly mideval themed it's hard not to have some gore, but please let me know if it becomes to intense.

Aww man...alright, well I guess I can tone it done. I've done a small part of a sci-fi horror book. And it tends to be a little over the top on gore, is having creatures getting shot..oh nevermind:
exerpt:

Mark raised his K7 as the creature screamed, a high pitched shriek the made his ears ache, and ran at him. It's four limbs propelling it foward at amazing speed, it lunged at him, it's claws razor sharp and specked with dried blood. A hail of bullets errupted from Marks gun, catching the creature in the air and slamming it against the wall, spraying blood over the wall and through the air. It's lifeless body slumped to the ground in a pool of blood.
"What the hell is that thing?", asked angel. "You think I know?" Mark replied. "It looks humanoid..." He started, but trailed off as he noticed the room he was in. It looked like a lab, at least it had, but it was heavily stained in blood and riddled with almost a dozen bodies.

And it just gets better from there really, but I was thinking of posting. I edited it a bit on this one, but if it's still too much I can tone it down some more.

By gore, I mean explaning, in over the top detail, how every bit of someone's gut hits the floor after they get sliced in half.


The getting sliced in half is fine. So is bits of body parts flying everywhere. Just... don't over do the explaning.

ahhhh I see. OK.
I can manage that...I think.

I don't think the gore is something to really worry about, it's more of the sexual themes that gaia doesn't like. If it gets really gory, just post a warning at the beginning of it for the more innocent guild members.

not sure what to say. The sex stuff is fine for me, i go nowhere near it. (but if you like that, cool for you. Just not my thing). But I do medical stories, and some of those things might be a little over the top. I'll try and remember to put a warning, but I don't think it's that bad.

I was honestly thinking more along he lines of someone getting chopped to bits, or blown up. I think you should be ok with medical stories.

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.
