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.
This shop helps me at least pretend that the blog has some commercial value thus improving marital relations and preserving the myth that sitting in front of a computer for hours at a time can legitimately be termed as 'work'.
The designs are my original work apart from the stuff I ripped off other people.

Freebie Alert! Download these web survival tools that I helpfully compiled for my 2007 talk Who’s Afraid of the World Wide Web – on how authors can survive the New Realities of the Internet.
The excellent Anita Loughrey interviewed me in anticipation of my talk in Bologna and here it is on the Cynsations blog.
Undiscovered Voices, the ground-breaking anthology published by British SCBWI in association with Working Partners is out! My novel Ugly City won a place in the anthology at last year's competition. Buy the anthology.
My cartoon is featured on the cover of Simon Morse's
The Pregnant Guy: Journey to the Center of the Birth.
Simon's book answers previously neglected issues that affect expectant fathers such as "Am I getting fat?".
All pregnant fathers must buy this book - it will be a nice thing to read while sleeping on the couch once the baby is born.

Unsurprisingly Wilf was rated suitable for all - hurrah!
This is fab isn't it? I tried mine on it and came out general- guess that means I'm pretty tame!
LOL! Goodness only knows how the old Atyllah site would have rated - would have been right off the scale!
Ha! 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.
