Hey, so I'm writing a story and I need some advice. If, in a story, you *mention* rape but don't go into any detail, should it be rated "M"? It would be something like "She was raped before she was killed..." but it wouldn't actually go into detail about it.

I also heard that 200 Borders bookstores across the US are going out of business.
This saddens me, especially being an author.
of young adult books? Please don't write obvious young adult books like, "Twilight", "Gossip Girl", etc . . . .
I like virtually all books but Historical ones are a personal favourite. I don't really care if the lead character is male, female, gay, straight, white, or black, as long as the...

Say Back to the future authors, especially part II talks about 2015, and, we are not anywhere close to the events.
do you think it is possible, there will be a "Journey to the...
why do some authors of certain essays or short stories explain the title of their writing at the end instead of the beggining? many authors do this and ive always wondered why. . .

I was reading an article. It was really humorous but then went into talking about the death penalty, and then back to being humorous.
My question is, what is the reason for this? Is it just to get a point across? I mean, what was the humor for?
such as in the book Skybreaker, chapter 8, Kenneth Oppel includes information (minor elements) such as George Barton and the Aruba Consortium, the possible presence of undiscovered creatures, the betrothal of Nadira, and Matt's desperate longing for money.
I have noticed plenty of other authors besides myself on Yahoo! Answers and decided that I wanted to see what some authors thought about some writing topics that I think about all the time.
1) Do you write more based on plot or characters?
2) What is more fun: the mental planning process or...
...published? Then have it become a best seller?
