After reading a fair amount of LnC fanfic, I realized that there doesn't seem to be much profanity in it (at least not compared to what one might read in some fandoms). That brought me to the question of what is and is not acceptable in fics on this site.

How much swearing is acceptable? Are any words strictly off-limits, or does it depend on the context?


"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
