• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Greetings, all. I just joined this site yesterday, and am only miffed that I found it so late.
I will be going to college to be a writer soon and thought that I should post part of my manuscript here. The problem is, that I'm afraid that some may find it... offensive. The subject matter can be violent, but never pornographically so. That's the way I feel, in any case. The fact of the matter is that I've never had very many people read it, so these are simply concerns, but I would like to hear from my intended audience.
Go with God.




I am aware,
Isacc

That one is hard to say, since "violent" could mean a lot of things, and what may be offensive to some may be okay to others. I would just say, keep in mind that there may be younger readers on here.

If your manuscript is lengthy, or you are considering publication at some point, you may be interested in joining our critique group. We're going to be doing this via email, so that we don't have to worry about the sketchy issue of whether having your material posted on a public forum constitutes "publication" and impedes your ability to get it truly published in the future.

If you are interested, PM me with your email.

Happy writing! ^_^
