A Fan Fiction Writer's GuideDon't be afraid of curse words when it comes to dialogue. It adds extra to a character's personality.
Exceprt from Cogs:
“I’m sorry, Yixing, for being such a ing loser. After my grandfather died, I became a bum and you have come every day after work, even after a bad day, to take care of my incompetent , no matter how tired or down in the dumps you are. And you know what’s even ier? After four whole ing years I have failed to thank you. So,” Luhan released the doctor, and looked into his eyes, searching for nothing in particular, but something, anything. “Thank you, so much.” And what he found was platonic love.
Exceprt from Rumor Has It:
“I was thinking, ‘man, I’m really ing hungry.’” Jongdae shrugged. “And that you may want some imagination fuel for your novel.”
Excerpt from Drunk French Fries:
Right as he was walking away with his guitar, he heard Baekhyun murmur something that sounded similar to “I want my ing french fries, damnit.”
Unless you believe it is morally wrong to curse, do not be afraid of them. Just because your story is not rated M does not mean it can't use any profanities and that it has to be PG. Make it PG-15, for god's sake!
but don't over do it.
