I couldn't help myself. When I saw it on Justine Larbalastiere's blog, I had to go see how Notes from the Slushpile would rate. Apparently, my writings about trying to get published in the children's sector is too lascivious for some.
The rating was determined by the presence of the following words:
death (4x) sexy (3x) pain (2x) hell (1x)
yowza.
Notes from the Slushpile is a team blog maintained by eight friends who also happen to be children's authors at different stages of the publishing journey.

Unsurprisingly Wilf was rated suitable for all - hurrah!
ReplyDeleteLOL good to hear that ;)
DeleteThis is fab isn't it? I tried mine on it and came out general- guess that means I'm pretty tame!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Goodness only knows how the old Atyllah site would have rated - would have been right off the scale!
ReplyDeleteHa! Mine were general too - but then some of the words I'd like to use....

Well, considering the rape scene in MORTAL GHOST, plus some of the worst teen language, don't ask me how I managed to get a general rating. I'm disappointed.
