Androxine Vortex
Archmage
I took a look at my book (Hey that rhymes! A lot!) and noticed that use a lot of graphic description. Especially in battle-scenes, I go into vivid and sometimes grotesque detail. I don't think I am overdoing it, but at the same time I think at times I am quite graphic. What are your thoughts on the level of violence in a book? Does it turn you away? It might help to mention that my novels are more of a darker fantasy that explore the darker aspects of the human soul and mind. I am aiming for a mature audience though by mature there is practically no sexual content whatsoever. At one point I though about toning it down just for the sake of making it more generally accepted but realized it is sort of "my style." What if people told Picasso to paint more "normal?" What are your thoughts?
