Summary:

Late night musing. An old write I found lying around. lol. Appreciate you. - Damian DeadLove

Close my eyes right before the impact

Stray bullets masked as fake applause

Through all the pain my soul still intact

Fuck being perfect I embrace my flaws

Takes more imagination than I possess

To pretend their intentions aren’t cruel

Instead of knowing they made a guess

At believing I would willfully play a fool

Sometimes life is like playing Russian Roulette. There’s truth in this.

Age Rating Feature

STARSRITE is trying to make the online publishing experience as easy and as rewarding as possible. One of the unique features STARSRITE has introduced is for writers to rate their own work by age level.

STARSRITE “Age Rating” feature gives readers more insights as to what they will be expecting to encounter and be aware before they start reading a post or chapter.

STARSRITE “Age Rating” system provides 5 labels which can cover most age levels.

Everyone

Teens (13+)

Mature (17+)

Adult (18+)

Rating Pending

How Does it Work?

No one is more qualified or more responsible than the authors themselves. Only they can classify which age rating their work falls under. When a writer uploads a post or a chapter the input form gives them the choice to assign an “Age Rating” for their work.

The author has the choice between the 4 labels:

– E for Everyone,

– Teens13+

– Mature17+

– Adult18+

They also have the choice not to label their work if they choose not to. In this case the post or chapter will be labeled as:

-Rating Pending
