I have a very, very simple question. I haven't read any YA since my Madeline L'Engle days (I wish we'd had then the huge and wonderful variety we have now...the Hardy Boys got old after a while. I would've been like a pig in slop...I've never actually *seen* that, but I'll trust the cliche. :)) The question, can you curse at all in a fantasy YA? And if so, where's the line? I've given thought to writing one, but foul language is pretty prevalent in my adult novels (as Holly said, I like fantasy because you can say the f-word. You chase my butt with rending claws and gnashing teeth, f*** is coming out big and bad.)
